The Cars - The Cars (self-titled debut album)

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Don’t cha stop
Such a cool fucking riff and also skin skin

Purportedly, the Cars were *THE MOST BORING* live band to ever stride on a stage.

I don't know. I went down a YT Cars rabbit hole last night and found all kinds of awesome live footage:

Also, I'm going to be a contrarian dickhead and say that Orr has a better voice that Ocasek.

oh for sure. and in those '78 clips you can see that he was kind of a babe. i feel like by the mid 80s he was bloated and weird and wore too much makeup.

Orr was v pretty back in the day, it’s true

"Stay the Night" was a jam! I loved Benjamin Orr even before I realized he was the guy from the Cars. What a sonorous voice he had.

yes! lol

i had a thought while i was playing cars song after cars song the last week -- for a long time i had a hard time putting together the cars that sang "magic"/"shake it up"/fun or cute songs and the cars that sang "you're all i've got tonight"/"just what i needed"/kinda sleazy songs because they sounded like they had been written by completely different people. it was confusing and hard to reconcile without seeing videos and i knew they were the same band but didn't know what exactly was going on with the cars. also i was a kid.

i love all the good cars memories. they are one of my mom's fave bands!

We took a weekend trip to MA to go to the Big E fair and it’s all cars all the time rn

It’s like
we pledge allegiance
To the chequered flag
Of the fakkin cahs
