Another Fan Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 R.I.P. I want to say they just finally made the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. The Cars were a good group. Their music was fun 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrDawkinstein Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 Dang that's a bummer. Also very influential (and as a producer, responsible) for Weezer and their sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if it were an accidental death, would that make it a Car accident? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gray Beard Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 He must have been 35 or so when the Cars hit the big time. I didn’t realize he was that old. RIP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
US Egg Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 (edited) Their 1st album was their best. Saw them open for Bob Seger, 3rd row center, in '77 or '78. Never would have guessed he was born in '49 Marrying Paulina Porizkova might be his biggest badge of honor.

buffaloboyinATL Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 Oh no! And I agree. 75???!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SinceThe70s Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 For me The Cars and Ric Ocasek epitomized New Wave. The first two albums sound as good today as they ever did. Sad to hear of his passing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rico Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 RIP. I always thought The Cars were the poor man's Roxy Music. I did like the 1st LP a lot when it came out though, as well as most all of the hits. especially the ones with Benjamin Orr on lead vocals. Still, when I think of The Cars, he is the first image that comes to mind. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
