How  would you rank them as a band? They seem to be almost overlooked to me. They had so many great songs.

I'd rank The Cars as one of the best bands and Candy-O as one of the best records.

Candy-O was great stuff. Won front row tickets to see them later on and they were still a great show.

I was 14 when their debut album broke radio in 78'.  It was a huge moment as the Cars had pushed Boston off the best all time selling debut album.  Unfortunately the band petered out in a hush of insignifigance after Heartbeat City but those first few albums, especially "the Cars" and "Candy-O" were really big players musically to my generation of musicians.

Lets see if I can recall the names:
Ric Ocasek
Ben Orr
Greg Hawks
Elliot Easten and
the Dave Robinson

Mano...that was a long time ago.  THink Ill grab some Cars CDs to take to work!  Thanks Nuke :)

I love classic rock, but THE CARS are on the bottom of my list. Down there with supertramp, stevemiller and the eagles.

I always change the station when one of thier songs come on.

The Cars are good, but you cannot beat Jungle Love.
