	The Cars
		The Cars were yet another late 70s band that responded to the bloat and pretension of overproduced studio rock with snappy tunes and stripped-down arrangements.
		Blondie or the Talking Heads, the Cars had no particular message, and next to no interest in expanding beyond their synth-plus-guitar pop-rock sound; plus, lead singer Rick Ocasek has a thin voice that isn't particularly flexible or gripping.
		The title track (their first Top Ten hit) is the only really good tune on the album, though "Cruiser" has a decent riff, "Think It Over" uses electronic percussion to sinister effect, and "Since You're Gone," also a significant hit, features amusing Dylanesque phrasing.

		This song was performed during The Cars' appearance on "The Old Grey Whistle Test" was shown on a first-season episode of VH-1's "8-Track Flashback" which featured new wave bands including the Police and the Pretenders.
		Not because it was a powerful song with an air with the desperation that should have been love, but the Cars also used the lyrics to justify their accomplishments.
		In 1999, the Cars first album was reissued as "The Cars Deluxe Edition" which is the original album, as well as demo versions of all the songs and previously unissued tracks.

	Albums of the artist singer songer: Cars - album albums songs work works
		This album really could use some re-mastering (there is one available, a deluxe version from 1990 with an extra demo disc; there have, however, been many albums re-mastered originally released later with clearly audible results so that version does not cut it in my books).
		The cars were one of the most popular pop/rock bands to grace the stage in their time...their music wasn't over the top, but at the same time some of their more emotional, heartfelt tracks were not near as sappy as the competition.
		The first four Cars albums, all produced by Roy Thomas Baker and released in the space of four years, are a really solid body of work.

	Fast Cars Album Reviews
		The FAST CARS captured the jangly powerpop sound of the time (1978) and place (Manchester) creating anthemic scrappy pop songs that drew on the early garage and bubblegum rock scenes the way The Jam did.
		CD Detour Records Although the Fast Cars were a great band and recorded this great material during the height of the power-pop/punk explosion in the UK, the band never hit it big.
		Fast Cars were a Manchester punk band from the late '70's who were inspired - as their name clearly indicates - by the Buzzcocks.

		This would be the last Cars' single before their next album in 1987, and it was enough to keep the Cars on the charts a little longer after the success of the previous album.
		This collection was the final chapter of Cars history as Ric Ocasek has put that part of his career behind him.
		Actually, it is a special version of the Cars' debut album with extra unreleased tracks and demos called "The Cars Deluxe Edition." It is a two-disc set; the first disc is just a re-release of the Cars' debut album.

	Gino Vannelli : Black Cars - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
		Consequently, Black Cars is definitively of the moment -- it's hard to imagine a record that sounds more 1985 than this.
		Since Vannelli is a professional, he does make it work on occasion, most notably on the minor hit singles "Black Cars" and "Hurts to Be in Love." Yet, this is more noteworthy for what he attempted than what he achieved.
		Consequently, Black Cars is primarily interesting as an artifact for '80s fanatics and as a transitional record in Vanelli's career.

	Prindle Record Reviews - The Cars
		In 1980 however, the CARS wanted to make it clear that they wanted to create their own identity and that meant creating an album and mood at concerts that was spawned by the fans, not the group.
		Why the CARS chaose Dream Away as part of their 1984 Heartbeat City line-up still makes me wonder what they were smoking when they decided that this would one of the two songs to be played from the album.
		The CARS were forced into the limelight and it was hard for them to embrace and it’s a wonder that the album was as successful, because the CARS time was widely demanded but the band still hesitated to give up their privacy.

	Buzzcocks : Fast Cars - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		Fast Cars collects previously unearthed vintage live recordings by the highly influential Buzzcocks.
		From the fast 'n' nervy punk rock of "Breakdown" and "Fast Cars" to the sprawling "Moving Away From the Pulsebeat" and catchy classics in waiting like "Noise Annoys" and "What Do I Get?" (their greatest A-side), there is undeniable proof here that the Buzzcocks, just a couple of years on, were one of the greats.
		Music as exciting as this transcends any packaging problems, though, and even after 25 years in the ground, Fast Cars is still a living, breathing, pogo-inducing document from one of the most important bands of the original punk era.

	Rarebird's Cars solo album reviews
		Formed in the mid-'70's by Ric Ocasek, the Cars were probably the most commercially successful band to come out of the new wave.
		Ocasek, the Cars' eccentric leader, was the first member of the band to record and release a solo album.
		The album puts Ocasek back on familiar Cars terrain, partly because he was reunited with Greg Hawkes, but mainly because his trademark tension had come back with a vengeance.

		The Cars formed in Boston circa 1976 and debuted in 1978 with this eponymously titled release.
		Even though this album produced three hot singles, I don't know why it had never won any awards for the best debut album; it really should have done thtough as The Cars by the Cars is one of the truly best first albums I ever heard bar none.
		There was room for a couple of more songs on the original album and it's a shame that the band didn't have a few more songs to lengthen the album.

	Album Review: Cars Collection (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		In their prime - from 1978 to 1981 - they were the Cadillacs of radio music.
		Sure, they were horrible live, but their songs were both seductive and subversive, and this two-disk anthology is a reminder of just how good they were.
		The only flaw is that 40 songs is a bit too many, and there are a lot of lesser efforts here that are only interesting when they show you the unpolished parts of the Cars' studio magic.

	Column: The Cars
		Now, Ocasek has released his first solo album since 1993, a welcome return to form with a new guitar foundation, which may put The Cars' farewell _Door To Door_ album and Easton's reissued _Change No Change_ record -- both excellent and long overlooked -- in a new light as well.
		Ocasek took his Cars keys with him, too: Greg Hawkes is again organizing the nuance and squeal characterizing Cars records, making _Troublizing_, with all its modernizing heaviness, a re-materializing and re-baptizing of the sound and style of The Cars.
		The first ten tunes of this welcome reissue are the original album _Change No Change_, a stunning demonstration of Easton's encyclopedic command over every style of pop of the 60s and 70s, diverse, creative, and streamlined.

		The Cars debut album still sounds fresh and new despite the fact that it was released 22 years ago.
		This album is a remarkable debut, with three of the songs released as singles and three others released as flipsides for a incredible 6 of 9 songs appearing as singles - something that few other groups have managed to achieve.
		The Cars insisted they are music performers and not an "act", preferring to be known for their music rather than their ability to look flashy or jump around on stage.

	The Cars ....
		While casual admirers of the Cars can stick with their 1985 Greatest Hits collection, more serious fans should go right to the more thorough two-CD set Just What I Needed: The Cars Anthology.
		Such previously released album tracks as "Dangerous Type," "Gimme Some Slack," and "Cruiser" are highlights, as are the rarities "Cool Fool" (one of their hardest-rocking tracks ever), "That's It," a cover of Iggy Pop's "Funtime," and a pair of album-closing early demos ("Leave or Stay" and "Ta Ta Wayo Wayo").
		At nearly two and a half hours long, Just What I Needed: The Cars Anthology is the ultimate Cars collection, which only confirms their standing as one of the finest bands of the new wave era.

	NEB&W Presents Soph Marty's Photo Album - Freight Cars - N
		I think one board was broken or rotted, the tin is wide enough to seal up the problem, again car is at end of its service life> By 1970, the six foot door, and covered hoppers doomed 40 foot box cars to obsolescence.
		When built in 1939, these 45000 series wood sheathed box cars were numbered in the 9480-9999 series and were of AAR standard design in all respects (4/5 Dreadnaught ends, rectangular panel roof, AAR underframe, etc.), except for their wood side sheathing.
		My guess is that they didn't bother with the traditional diagonals as the original car's fishbelly center sill would be more than sufficiant for a light loads carried by a stock car.

	The Cars Album Reviews
		The album tracks here are generally very good and the hits are generally great (especially “My Best Friend’s Girl,” “Just What I Needed,” and “You’re All I’ve Got Tonight”), though several of these songs are so overplayed on classic rock radio that I rarely listen to the album anymore.
		In short, The Cars were a band in the best sense of the term, and though a few so-so songs keep Candy-O at a definite notch below below the debut, I probably listen to it more since its songs are less familiar.
		First of all (and this is just a personal preference), almost every song on this album is overly familiar, and I prefer revisiting them among the less recognizable gems scattered throughout their discography.

	World Without Cars, MP3 Album Music Download at eMusic
		Pianist Art Lande, fairly well known from a series of albums on ECM, here teams with reed player Mark Miller for an album of generally short, pastoral pieces that tend to have a bit more of an academic than jazz feeling.
		Lande's style seems perched midway between Bill Evans and early 20th century impressionism (particularly Debussy), but, while his playing is almost always tonal, he is reluctant to commit to actual melodies, leaving the listener a bit frustrated.
		Miller's soprano saxophone work is somewhat modeled after Steve Lacy, but without the master's bite or sardonic humor; his work on flute and alto is calm and clear (though on "Cars" he ventures into some cathartic free playing), but unremarkable.

	The Cars by The Cars on Rhapsody
		Perfect pop/rock tunes topped off with a detached New Wave perspective make this a great debut in the same way that the first Boston and Ramones albums are (everything that came after refined the same formula).
		Not a big hit in 1978, The Cars continued selling throughout the '80s, bridging the gap between classic rockers, New Wavers, and the general public.
		The first sound you hear on "Just What I Needed," the single from the Cars' debut album, is the repeated thump of bass notes against the short, metallic slash of guitar.
