In the studio, the Cars were great. But I also saw them playing live on MTV, and they looked like animatronics. They didn't. freaking. move. And worst of all, Ric Ocasek blew the opening of the first verse, but since they were playing to a prerecorded synthesizer track, they couldn't just vamp and do it over, they had to SKIP THE ENTIRE VERSE. Dude, if you can't play live, you aren't a rock band. First of all, I had a cassette of “Heartbeat City”, and I wore that sucker OUT. In the studio, the Cars were great.

I love everything they did. Their solo projects? Not so much... but as the Cars they were great. Second, Tommy Shaw should have set Dennis DeYoung up to have an "unfortunate accident" when he started writing this dren. All the Tommy Shaw stuff was rockin.
