The Cars debut album from 1978 is pure Masterpiece! It's practically a greatest hits album. RIP Ric & Benjamin.

Ric Ocasek lived in Millbrook NY and am told he was a nice guy often going to the diner there. Perfect timing for The Cars coming out during the MTV age!!

ric was a misogynist, creep to the Nth degree. Abuse of ones wife is the weakest thing a man can do. Such people are males, they are not men.

My first concert was The Cars in 1982 when I was 14. Great band. Moving in Stereo was always my favorite.

Door To Door(1987) remains a severely underrated album, an artistic peak IMO…I don’t know why the fans are always so quick to dismiss it…Thankfully, Ric lived a full life even though he passed too soon….

What a great time for Rock n Roll! So glad I grew up in the 80's but so bummed when they broke up my junior year in highschool!!! Still love blasting The Cars every summer, windows down, speeding down the highway!

I was never a big fan, I was into hard rock, punk and metal, but for what they did they were one of the best, and they have grown on me over the years, I love the song Drive, this is a really good video but the timeline is all over the place.

Oh dear! How did I miss that he's gone? Oof! The Cars and Wang Chung were my first "big girl" concert that I went to.

Another award he should've received is for those ginormous ears, it was said he could hear a pin drop from 40 kilometers.

Ric and The Cars were the evolution of R&R from the late 70's into the 80's. Who can forget not only their sound but the great music videos on MTV! One of the most beautiful Car's songs and of any playlist, "Drive." Ric and Benjamin 🙏✝♥

40 years 🎂 since Heartbeat City was released. Roy Baker gave The Cars 🚗 a start producing the debut album to the 4th album. Mutt Lange produced the 5th and most popular album. Drive 🚗 is the signature song 🎵. RIP Ric Ocasek and Ben Orr.

As a non musician... and a bit off topic here... a video like this makes me contemplate the roll of the keyboard player.... Hence: 1. Greg Hawke... The Cars 2. Nick Rhodes.... Duran Duran 3. Tony Banks.. Genesis 4. Tony Kaye.... Yes 5. Michael Lardie...Great White 6. Jon Lord.... Deep Purple 7. Marc Avsec.... Donnie Iris and the Cruisers... and Wild Cherry... ( ya gotta be from eastern Ohio/ western PA to appreciate this... ) There are many many more I am sure.... I'm pretty buzzed.... so, please help me out....please...y'all..

Correct, the keys are understated yet dominant in all those bands.

I grew up outside of Boston in the late '60's and '70's. WBCN played alot of local bands. Saw the Cars with Wang Chung as the opener. The Cars were so loud I thought my ears would bleed.

@user-zz7ij5yr2p Ай бұрын

So bad to know that Ric's last wife abandoned him long before his death, that might be the cause of his passing away. Shame on you Periskova, you should have been next to your husband all the way.
