What was cool about The Cars was that there's never been another band before or since that sounds anything like them. They were truly unique. That's _very_ rare in the music industry, where most ever band/singer sounds like everybody else around them, with the same "sound of the moment." And their music was incredible. Can't even believe this album is now going on 42 years old. The other day on my lunch break I was sitting in my car eating and listening to this very album, marveling at how kick ass it still is, and how much it eclipses present day music. Proud to say this was the music I was raised on. :)

God bless the precious memory of Ric and Ben. RIP and my heartfelt gratitude to both for leading such an incredible and important band. They were all so supremely talented. I don't know of a better example of a "whole being greater than the sum of its parts". As a native Clevelander, I've always been a little more partial to Ben, though. Always preferred his vocals over Ric's. I'll always be thankful that I got to see them early on at the Agora Theater in Cleveland (1978). What can you say? Elliott Easton is a gifted lead guitarist, David Robinson was great on drums, and Greg Hawkes did a little bit of everything from keys to 🎷 sax and everything in between. I'll always consider their debut album to be one of the most important and progressive albums in punk/new wave history. Not too many bands more deserving of a spot in the RRHOF in my opinion.

How many memories of my youth are intertwined with this song and others like it? The Cars did all of us a huge favor who had this song as a backdrop to our defining moments. Pounding out of the speakers as we cruised, giving us the beat at the prom, amping up the atmosphere on "that date with that girl". Amiright? They gave us a soundtrack for all of the times of our lives that even though they weren't epic or amazing to anybody else, THEY WERE EPIC TIMES TO US because when Ric took us by the hand and told us this story...it was our story! Play on, Ric! The thing you loved doing was just what I needed as I grew up. Peace, man. Sweet peace.

The Cars were the soundtrack to my youth. From the moment I heard Just What I Needed, I was hooked on the Cars. I am really devastated by Ben's and Ric's deaths. Ric was a true poet and artist. Their music is unique, thoughtful, powerful and timeless, and all four of them are amazing musicians and artists. I feel truly blessed to have seen them perform and to have met Ric and Greg. Thank you Ric, Greg, David, and Elliott for your gifts, and may Ric and Ben RIP.

These guys were the soundtrack to my h.s. years; 78-82; and are still one of my Top 5 fav bands of all time. Every intonation, every drum break, every solo I still have memorized. Thank You Ric for providing so many memorable songs that I have connected with some of the best times of my childhood. You will dearly be missed. RIP Ric

It’s coming up on 44 years ago that this song came out! May of 78! So hard to believe. It would be a hit if it came out today. And this fall will be 22 years ago that Ben passed. I can’t get my mind around it still.

That's called "that cool rock n roll style" that you either got, or you don't. It can't be taught, but it can be learned, maybe - Been Orr had more than most, and didn't even have to try.

carmenmandrews its the studio version of the song playing over the video. Maybe pitched up slightly, which gives it that “youthful” sound you’re hearing.

To hear them on the radio, you kind of just passively listen because they are always on, but when you intently pay attention, you realize just how good these guys were. Ben's voice and how he pronounced his words gave the songs a grunge type of style, yet they sounded very rock and roll as well. Incredibly unique sound that will live on. What a band!
