Summer of 1978. I was just 15 years old. The Cars first album really changed my life and my relationship with music. Their sound was like no other popular music I had ever heard before. Opened the door to many more progressive musicians and groups that followed. Ric Ocasek- brilliant.

@jonathangeraldrobinson720 2 года назад

That sound that drew your attention is an ultra-clean guitar tone (no effects) played in a rockabilly style by Elliot Easton. It's amazing because this song is loaded with musical tropes dating back to the 50s, from the chord progression, to the guitar line underlying the verses, and even Ric Ocasek's "hiccup" style is evocative of Buddy Holly. Yet even today, more than 40 years after it was recorded, it sounds ultra modern. I would go with the song "Magic" next, for a totally different vibe. -JR in Miami

@ronaldlapierre9007 2 года назад

Yeah most of those groups in Boston the Cars , Boston , Aerosmith or a pioneers and how they made the guitarist sound different

@ArtofFreeSpeech 2 года назад

It's not a "hiccup" style. It's just a stylized glottal stop.

@Calamity_Jack 2 года назад

Totally agree! There are a lot of 50's throwback styles and techniques in this song. But mingled into the new-wave sound of that time. In the 80's, I remember there was a 50's nostalgia kick going on and you saw this echoed in many of the songs of the day.

@GT-mq1dx 2 года назад

It’s mostly musicians, specifically guitarist that can tell right off the bat how technically and a friggin amazing player Elliot Easton was.

@lemurvision 2 года назад

Also the little keyboard stabs and the guitar fill at the end of the chorus (which is inspired "I Will" by the Beatles, but that also sounds a bit '50s).

@magneto7930 2 года назад

I love the Cars, such a quirky, nerdy, lovable band! They came out during a time when there was either New Wave or Punk, and yet they were a little of both with a dash of Rock. Their first few albums were great! You can listen to Shake It Up, Let's Go, It's All I Can Do, I'm Not the One, Touch and Go, etc.

The Cars were a Boston-based music group that had their greatest success in the late-1970s and into the mid-1980s. They classified themselves as a "New Wave band". Some New Wave bands and solo artists of that time incorporated the "hiccup" technique as part of their singing style. It was inspired by the singing style of Buddy Holly on some of his songs during the 1950s. Ric Ocasek was the lead singer on this and other songs by the group, but bass player/keyboard player Benjamin Orr also sang lead vocals on some of the group's songs. Benjamin Orr died of pancreatic cancer in 2000, at the age of 53. Ric Ocasek died in 2019 while recovering at home from heart surgery, at the age 0f 75. The Cars are inductees in The Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame.

I was 11 years old and totally blown away by The Cars when this song and the album "The Cars" came out! The whole album is great, as is their second album "Candy-O". You should hit the song "Candy-O" next from this album! It sounds futuristic, hypnotic and rocks hard! The album cover is pretty awesome, too! 😎 They have many other great songs on their other albums, but if you ever do a whole album review, please react to these two first. You won't regret it! Some of the songs on each album flow into the next, which adds to the experience. Their sound was so unique and I can remember feeling lucky to experience the birth of a cool new music genre called New Wave. Blondie, Devo, Talking Heads, and the B-52's are some other great acts in the same genre.

@garysunshine9643 2 года назад

Magic, You are the Girl, Let's Go, Hello Again, Drive, Double Life, Dangerous Type, Shake it Up. You both will enjoy all these songs and a good many more

I finally figured out what it is about you two. It's your unabashed honesty and real-ness. There's absolutely zero artifice in either one of you. Some reaction folks try to embellish their reactions. There's none of that with you two and I'm IMMENSELY grateful. "Keep on keeping on" as the saying goes.

The Cars , great group . A few of their albums every track were great.

Forget their 80s pop hits for now. The Cars are among the originators of New Wave (some say the Fathers of New Wave, and I wouldn't disagree) in the 70s. Explore their first 2 or 3 albums first (the one you just did is from their first, and still best album). I would suggest Bye Bye Love" or "All Mixed Up" from the same album. Or if you want quirkier, try "I'm in Touch with your World" or "Moving in Stereo" (or you could do Moving in Stereo immediately followed by All Mixed Up, since the end of one begins the other on the album). If you want some quirky fast paced new wave techno rock, try "Candy-O" from their second album of the same name.

RIP the brilliant and inimitable Ric Ocasek, the band's lead songwriter and co-lead vocalist. They are such a tight, melodic, and fun band. I never get tired of listening to them. As someone else noted, Elliot Easton's guitar is sublime. So melodic and catchy it sounds easy, but it's not. He's a Berkley School of Music grad who hooked up with the a great group of guys from Boston. "Just What I Needed" "Drive" "You're all I've Got Tonight" are just a few of my faves.

The Cars' "Heartbeat City" concert tour was the first live show that I ever attended without my parents. Obviously, I've been a fan for decades. "Let's Go" is a classic, as is "Good Times Roll", "Shake It Up", and "Magic". However, for your next one, I would recommend "Drive", as it's one of the few Cars hits where the lead vocals are sung by the bassist, Benjamin Orr, and not by Ric Ocasek. It's a truly beautiful, haunting song, and one of the best songs of the 80s.

Welcome aboard, youngsters! I was in high school when this album came out, and my older brother would play this whole album, over and over, all day long. We saw The Cars, live in concert at the Hollywood Palladium, when they did a reunion tour, back in 2011. Their performance was so great, even though they were already senior citizens, they sounded so much like their younger selves.

@SuperGuitarDude7 2 года назад

I remember when this came out! This was the big song they played on the radio all the time. I had to run out and get the album right away. Maybe do Moving In Stereo next.

@sjw5797 2 года назад

"Bye Bye Love" was the best song on this album.

Love the Cars. They have 2 Lead Singers who Both are really Important to the Sound of the Cars along with the Guitarist & Keyboard Player. Late 7O’s Band bringing in the New Wave 80’s

@echobeefpv8530 2 года назад

Wasn't the 80's a lot more fun ? I mean in general, people just didn't take everything as so serious. The Cars have many great hits, and most are the " boy meets girl " type. I love the bass lines !

You may have noticed the Queen-like back-up vocals on this song. That's because both bands had the same producer in Roy Thomas Baker who was one the most innovative producers ever and the first to use 40 track recording.

I doubt Jay and Amber will ever read this, but they do this excerpt from Wiki will answer a lot of questions they had about the song. Composition "My Best Friend's Girl" begins with chords in the lower register of the guitar, a two-bar progression moving from I to IV to V in F.[6] Hand claps enter in bar five, and after the eight-bar intro (following descending synthesizer sounds from David Robinson's Syndrums,) the first verse begins featuring Ric Ocasek's vocals over a lead guitar lick in the key of F.[6] An electronic piano (a Yamaha CP-30) is introduced in the first chorus, followed by a rockabilly guitar lick which leads to the second verse.[6] The song is composed in contrasting verse-chorus form.[6] The song was originally written and recorded in E major, one semitone lower, then the entire master tape was sped up to place it in F major. Many live performances show the band performing the song in E.[7] The lyrics depict a man's frustration with a woman who is dating his best friend after the man dated her.[8] The narrator coolly[9] notes, "She's my best friend's girl, but she used to be mine."[8]

The Cars “Drive” should be next. I dearly love all of their work, but “Drive” is just so beautiful. One, it is sung by their bass player, Benjamin Orr. Two, as much as The Cars is known for their quirky pop sound, “Drive” is a ballad, and one of their biggest hits.

@spoonerfive 4 месяца назад

Those jangly guitar breaks are old school 1950's rock and roll riffs, that the Stray Cats jumped on so successfully, so that was a great catch in your reaction. This is one of my favorite Cars songs!

@brandolph83 2 года назад

Well some must-listen tracks from the Cars include "Let's Go", "Good Times Roll", "Shake it Up", "All Mixed Up".

Another great 70s band. The Cars have that unique sound. Good review. Here are three very good Cars songs: Just What I Needed, Moving in Stereo and All Mixed Up. 😀
