    His voice is stronger, more nuanced, perfect. So many rockers lose their range and clarity. He is fantastic.

    This epic synth line still cuts glass. The goosebumps still there after 40 years, clearly one of the better synth lines ever put together.

      It's as iconic as the opening bars of Beethoven's 5th symphony: repeats throughout. Same with the bassline. Two great rhythms in one.

    The inspiration for the song:
    The idea for “Cars” first came to me in my car in 1977. I was driving my Ford Cortina in West London when traffic came to a halt.
    For some reason, two men in the van ahead of me got out and walked toward my car. They looked angry.
    As they approached, I assumed I must have done something to them. Maybe I cut them off or they thought I was someone else. Because of my Asperger’s, I had no clue.
    When they reached my car, they shouted, banged on the hood and tried to open my door. They even attempted to smash my window. To get away, I drove up onto the sidewalk.
    Fortunately, the pavement was quite wide. I drove along, with people leaping to one side. Finally, I reached a cross street and drove off. I never did find out what the fuss was about.
    I’ve always dreaded crowds, yet I’m noticeably relaxed in a car. I come down several notches in there. A locked car is a quiet, controlled environment. I feel safe from crowds.

    Storytime: First time I ever seen the official video...I was about 6 years old. It was 3 in the morning, give or take. I don't know if I was drawn to the music or what...but I recall entering the pitch black kitchen and entering the well lit living room where "Cars" was playing. I have no idea where my parents were, or why the TV and lights were on, or why is was set to the video channel (which was brand new at the time) I also am unsure of what happened after the video, or seeing ANYBODY in particular, but the hard synth line had me in its deadlights and I've been hooked on synth keyboards ever since.

      I was born in 1972 and, sadly, I never knew much about him until the last few years. Love discovering his music now. Amazing how great he STILL sounds.

    People today, still hear this and say: "oh it's that great song from the 80s"...not gonna lie, sometime around 2002 I heard this amazing song from an Apple iTunes (punk/synth rock) list recommendation with epic music from the 80s. It opened my door to the wonders of Gary Numan. I only heard this song on the radio when it came out (I was a baby two years old) maybe heard it again once or twice during my childhood. I'm glad I caught onto it, bought many Gary's albums because of it!! ❤❤

    It was the hook that got me hooked in 1980. Been a fan since. Keeps getting better. I feel Like Gary is the God of industrial rock like Ozzy is the God of metal. Two of my favorites.
