Soot and Stars
I AM SOOT!
The Cars
I'm listing these guys as 80's because the majority of their career takes place in this era! I've been thinking about a lot of their music lately and I think they deserve a thread here! It's no surprise that I got into them seeing as I'm a Smashing Pumpkins fan and they were an influence on them! My interest was admittedly furthered by hearing a great cover of Your All I Got Tonight by the Smashing Pumpkins and hearing in it how much fun they had covering it! In fact, Billy Corgan contributed to Ric Ocasek's solo album Troublizing (which I have) as well!
The Cars music and everything about them has this likable strangeness to it! If it weren't for The Cars as well as Devo and Talking Heads geek rock would not exist and Weezer would be out of the job! Here are my personal favorites:
Drive
(first I ever heard and my favorite)
Your All I've Got Tonight
(great song which I really need to own!)
You Might Think
Ric Ocasek ft. Billy Corgan-Crashland Consequence
So in a tribute to this band and a way to educate myself about them I present this thread!
