Ric and Benjamin were some icy cool cats man.
This band had a sound all of its own. When you hear it, you know who it is. Great tribute, Fil. Thanks.
Thx Fil for paying respect ✊. RIP Ric.
I never put the Cars in a genre. They were just The Cars♥️ Rest in Peace Ric. The music will live on🎶 Thanks Fil.
I wore out The Cars when this came out. I was 10 years old, and i still love it.
I was 12 and this was the POOP to me! The lead guitar on any Cars song is an Eddie Van Halen itching to break through the well defined walls put in place by the demands of the song.
Ha ha...I listened to them too age 11! I was raised on quite the mix of music, from old fashion Irish to rock, to country and gospel
I was 11. My older 17 year old cousin had the album. His younger brother who was my age said to me “ check these guys out”.I saw the memorable album cover with the lipstick filled lips and was hooked on the music. They seemed different. This was the summer of 1979. I was just entering junior high school. I immediately fell in love “my best friends girl “and especially “just what I needed”.
I was 16 when this album was released.
door to door will always be one of my favs. love this side of paradise.
I liked the Cars. Their heyday was right when I was getting out of high school. Good times, and RIP Ric.
Elliot Easton demonstrates the lost art of comping: carrying the rhythm, chords and/or partials and foreshadowing the chord changes with arpeggios, or, connecting the changes with arpeggios that land squarely on or carry on through the beat and blend back into the progression.
No small feat here as he's got momentum and rhythm, mixing perfectly with the keyboards and not getting into sonic collisions with the drums or Ric Ocasek.
And what can be said about Ric that hasn't been said? He is a great songwriter who provided big pieces of the soundtrack for our lives going through high school into the work world and college.
He could deliver the big hook, the big chorus, musical clarity, and he had the 'it thing' going for him--that unique special something or other--and sang in a way that sounded unnaturally good; pretentious or unpretentious depending on your viewpoint. Whatever the case, it stood out perfectly and still does. Rock In Peace.
Extremely well put re Easton. Kind of a quiet genius to his style. Evidenced by the rockabilly runs on this very song…Who does that?
Love the Cars!! They are such a gem! That wonderful contradiction of really tight instrumentals and harmonies overlaid with unexpected (and delightful) quirky vocals - it just works. Their sound never fails to make me smile. So glad you featured them. Now, please, please feature INXS - another band with a number of influences to achieve a one-of-kind sound. So much talent to delve into there. Cheers!
I've said it before and I'll say it again, I am so happy to have lived my youth and young adulthood in the 60's, 70's and 80's. Such great music! Recently, I had to go to get some surgery in a city about 2 and half hours away and my son drove me. He had the Sirius on the contemporary station and every single singer sounded the same. Curse you, autotune! All the individuality is gone and nothing left but blandness. The Cars were never bland. RIP Ric, you and the band gave me a lot of fond memories.
I am a 60s kid and wenro HS during the 70s I played in bands and covered the Cars all during the 80s
no one else sounded like the Cars. Thank you for the music & the memories Ric.
I really enjoyed these guys back in the day. Hit after hit! They were so golden. Ric had that quirky edge to his voice which made him so unique. RIP Ric! 🙏
I dont know what is more entertaining..me watching the Artist , or watching you watch the Artist...Great song !
Ocasek's phrasing is wonderfully playful, it is really unique.
Personally I always though the lead player, Elliot Easton was very underrated. Just listen to the tasty solo on Shake it up...
Criminally underrated.
No doubt about it. He did a great job on Tonight She Comes as well.
Absolutely, one of the best guitar solos ever.
and "Touch and Go" has a brilliant solo
All great, I would also add Bye Bye Love as well
Hard weekend for rock n roll. First Eddie and now Ric. Rocked out to The Cars in high school every morning on the way there and back in the afternoon. So much fun. RIP Ric.
I loved Ric, but I was a little more partial to Benjamin Orr's voice. Moving in Stereo, and Candy O are perfect examples of songs that his voice was absolutely hypnotic. Cars are still one of the greatest new wave bands of the late 70's, and 80's. Lightning in a bottle they were. All our heroes are dying, and it Sucks! Great review. Love how you analyze it perfectly. I am a drummer since 1976, and they are one of the band's that I would have given anything to play with.
The Cars. What a talented band. Ric was amazing. A shout out also to bass guitarist Benjamin Orr who as you mentioned passed away in 2000. He was the lead singer on several of their big hits, including their biggest, Drive.
I know this is about Ric, but Elliot Easton is highly underrated.
Monster guitarist! Played for the song, but he can tear it up!
Someone said if Van Halen had not released their first album that same year (1978), Elliott might have become a more famous guitarist.
@@paulsigmon7263 - yes. He played or still plays with Credence Revisted or whatever they call it. At first you think the Cars and CCR couldn't be more different, but not really. Image, yes. Musically? Its strange.
There’s that word again.....underrated!!!!! Please stop posting that over-used word without an explanation why.
And a lefty to boot.
You’re knowledge and research is impeccable . Another legend gone but the music will live forever. Thank you Fil
Spot on Cheers ltbaggypants
The expression on your face, when the guitar riff @2.40 starts, great.
Gurudutt Nayak This guy’s smile should win a Nobel Prize for making people feel good.
Your music analysis videos are excellent. You like great music, your insight is brilliant and you are a fan of great bands and singers. I really enjoy your videos. Massive Cars fan, fav track if pushed , Got A Lot On My Head (from Candy-O)
Oh man, we lose another good one. Cars were great. Thanks for doing this. RIP Ric.
Great observations about this song and the band. Huge Cars fan. Thanks for this tribute. 🎸
Fil, you are such a treasure. I love all your analysis videos for depth of knowledge and your evident love for all kinds of music. Plus you are a very classy and liikeable fellow. Thanks for honoring Ric and the cars, you definitely distilled the greatness of this unforgettable and incredible band. Thanks for all you do.
The Cars first two albums were awesome back in 1978 and 1979, I wore them out back then and I still love them today. Too bad these great rock artists are leaving us and in my opinion not many great ones taking their place if any.
Absolutely love the Cars!! Such a tragic loss. They really carved out a unique sound with Ric and Ben’s voices and fantastic songs! And Elliot Easton’s guitar playing is absolutely awesome! Thanks for posting! ✌🏻😎🎸
Fil, you have such an adorable look on your face whenever you hear something that appeals to you. 🥰 I get just as much enjoyment from your reactions as I do listening to your insightful and respectful analysis of each of the artists that you showcase. You are such a sweetheart, and you and your channel deserve all the attention you get. Thank you for paying homage to Ric. 🙂xx
My exact sentiment! Fil is such a babe! 😍
Such a fantastically unique sound. I was 24 when they hit it big and I instantly fell in love. Ric's death hit me hard and it took me back to 2000 when Ben died. I haven't been able to listen to them without crying. So glad you did a critique of them. I think they all were so underrated. I will love them forever.
I saw the Cars in a small club, the Shaboo Inn, in Wilamantic, Connecticut when they were touring behind thier first album. They started and ended with, "Just What I Needed." I remember the keyboardist Greg Hawkes playing a central part and lead guitarist Elliot Easton playing clean and energetic. They were a tight band who seemed truly grateful for the attention.
Cool. So they literally played JWIN twice?
Keith Shirey
Best Friends Girlfriend is my favorite all-time song. Very unique. Punk, power pop then comes the new wave organ and the happy delivery of Eastons rocakabilly guitar. The Cars delivered us from one genre to another.Definitly the most influential group of their time. I miss 1978 and will never forget Ocasek, Orr and the rest. RIP Ric and Ben.
A proper tribute for a great, innovative writer, performer, producer, and showman, Ric Ocasek. Thank You, Dear Fil. We needed this. ❤️
I was 10 when The Cars debuted and it was the first band I'd heard that bridged my life from my earliest love of pop music into my rock maturity. They were unique but classic. They were familiar but new. Punk but Pop. And I thought Ben's vocals on "Just What I Needed" sounded like the cliched Dracula voice and have heard it that way since. It was sad when Ben died and equally as sad this week.
Lost two music greats so close together (Eddie Money being the other). Very sad! Great analysis, Fil.
Dan B. Don’t be surprised if a 3rd person passes.. it always seems to come in 3s...sadly
Fil, this was great!!! Thanks for doing this for all of us CARS fans. PLEASE do a video for "It's All I Can Do" by The CARS, its on the Candy O album.
What a great band The Cars, all the songs were very catchy, one of my favorite songs was Moving on Stereo, that was featured in the movie Fastimes at Ridgemont High, the classic scene when Phoebe Cates dives into the pool, comes out of the pool and takes her top off, in the background you hear that tune is was just amazing, great funky punky edgy sound that made them unique, here in the US, You might think from Heartbeat City was one of the most popular videos ever played on MTV, One of the 1st video to have computer animations , won video of the year at the MTV awards. Great analysis Fil like always.
True entertainment ability...RIP to an amazing musician
The Cars were my first "Official" concert. RIP Ric and also Benjamin Orr.
Mine too - 1984 Worcester Centrum
I remember that like it was yesterday such a great band and when they hit the scene it was party time ! Phil I have to say with all sincerely your the best music reviewer on the internet not just you tube I'm happy I found your channel a while back , and I'm going to try to see if I can hear some of your own stuff I can only imagine how good it must be . I'm a little older now I'm 60 but I still love my rock n roll even though I'm bald now and what hair I do have is white as snow hahahaha
This is a tough one for me. RIP Ric.
Me too😞
Creating an original sound in a band is extremely difficult. The CARS did that vary thing. Live band great band LONG LIVE THE CARS. Ric&Ben together again. Thank you Fil.
How the hell could someone come up with a solo like that? So many dynamic elements in their sound and mix of instrumentation. Good God I love the Cars! RIP RIC and Ben...such cool guys it is like they were from another planet...
Thanks so much Fil. You are a totally classy guy to feature Ric and the Cars the day after his passing. I remember walking into one of my favorite record stores back in 1978. The store clerk put on their debut album. I hadn't heard of them and when the first track hit my ears it was "WOW" is this ever amazing! I'd never heard anything that sounded quite like it, it was like hearing something so new it was as if it was music from another planet! I immediately bought the album of course and every one they released over the following decade. So many great albums/songs. I remember those years fondly when great bands were still the norm, not the exception. It's with a mixture of great thankfulness and sadness that I remember how great he and the Cars were. Thanks Ric! Eternal respect. Rest In Peace!
The past few days have made me feel old.
And sad
@@fivecitydirttracker4776 Yes
U said it, & it really blows~😢
Soon it will be my turn
@@robertdavis3433 Let's hope not TOO soon~✌
Thank you so much for this tribute, Fil! I grew up listening to the Cars and always loved Ric Ocasek's unique voice and Ben's too.
loved the Cars
Loved The Cars! Infectious melodic songs. Very creative. Had The pleasure of seeing them live in 1979 and 1984. Ric was another one of those guys who did it all.. Wrote all The Cars material, guitarist and that unique voice. Very Sad to hear of his passing. Thankful for the great music he left behind with The Cars and his solo albums as well❤ Thanks for a great review my friend! 😎🎼🎵🎶
saw them in 1980 in Vancouver, still have my ticket, I worked as an installler in a stereo store and The Cars were in constant rotation as a demo
Hi Phil! The cars were so exciting and fresh with them all playing well as a whole band and Elliot Easton being a phenomenal guitarist!!
The news of Ric's passing breaks my heart. I was in my 20's then. The music covers so many memories, good and bad. I loved this band! Damn they were excellent! Now I am going to cry. I always cry over the rockers passing away. I love the lead guitarist. Beautiful music. I love you guys and I still love that cute Fil. Fil is a sweetheart! ❤️🌹❤️💋
I've been listening to the Cars for.. 30 years (?!).. And I'm hearing new things thanks to your discussion. Great vids, much appreciated.
R.I.P. Ric and Ben.
You should analyze a Ben Orr led track too like Moving in Stereo/All Mixed Up.
I love that track, too! It has such a unique sound.
Bye Bye Love and yes I love 'All Mixed Up'.
Ben had such great voice.
Missed so much!!
do any two songs play more perfectly together?
Ben singing Drive.
Yes, Ben singing Moving in Stereo and....Phoebe Cates
One of my favorite bands and songs!!
My two cents about Ric. About 16 years ago I was at Griffith Park with my wife and kids. We were at the entrance of the park, at the place were the little trains and horses are. I noticed Ric and his wife were also among the people visiting the park that day. I turned to my wife and told her that Ric Ocasek of the cars was in line to ride the little train. My wife, at that time, did not know who Ric or the cars were. I did not approach him. Seeing him was enough for me.
PS:
Griffith Park is in Los Angeles CA
Thank you so much for this! As is requested many times in the comments, might you also be able to react to a Cars song(s) with Benjamin Orr singing the lead? Thank you so much 😀
Fil 🎶 I love how you honed in on so many factors with Ric that many do not see.. So Blessed & Unfortunately, our music world has lost yet another 💔 Ric is such a gifted genius with such great artistical insights & talent.. Much love and respect for Ric ...
Thanxs Mega, for your incredible analyses Fil ...🎶🙏🕯💞...
Such such sad , sad news.. Rick was the epicenter of great music emanating in my early college day's , chock full of happy memories playing their songs with my then cover band.
I guess you're just what i needed Rick.
Thank You Heeps.
Rest Well🙏🌹🙏
Ric loved Buddy Holly and had been in a few bands before the Cars. No way to really label them. They were my faves as a young teen. Thanks, Fil!
And eventually Ric goes onto produce Weezer, who charts with a hit single called, Buddy Holly.
Wow! I didn't know he loved Buddy Holly...
@@HarryWebb46 I could tell by his singing style and other little hints in his music. Since I'm soon to be 67, maybe I have it in my memory to pick up on that more than those who didn't live through that era of Buddy Holley, Everly Brothers, etc. I always liked how Ric took the Everly Brothers song title "Bye Bye Love" and created a totally different song, and Ben nailed it as a hit with is vocals.
Brings back many good memories! Rest in peace, Rick Ocasek. Prayers to his family.
Even at this early date for the band, they were all masters of their craft. As a fan of melodic rock, The Cars were definitely in heavy rotation on my turntable back in the late 70s to early 80s. Ric was a musical genius, Ben a great vocalist and Elliott a beast on guitar although I would say vastly underrated. So glad Ric was still with us when they were inducted into the RRHOF last year. Thanks, Fil for your analysis of The Cars; I always enjoy your videos.
Fil The expression on your face says everything about your feelings about music and the knowledge you are giving comes from the heart ❤️. RIP Ric Ocasek
Ric O always appeared so comfortable in his skin. Not a standard look by any standards, but he always seemed so cool about it. And, not for nothing, I believe he married a model. Great review as always, Fil, of another fallen music hero. Your commentary always is like time travel, as you fill in the pallet. Outstanding.
Sam Stevens Paulina Porizkova
Karen Nyere Ah yes. Thank you Karen!
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on Ric. He was a unique singer and performer. He will be missed. Thank you for these tribute videos. It is very generous of you to share your insights and memories with all of us who follow you.
Excellent analysis. You’re right on the money. I can tell you as someone who was a teenager in 1978 that it seemed like a fresh sound. We were awash in studio bands like the Eagles, Fleetwood Mac, Styx, Supertramp, etc. Punk as you know was, among other things, a response to these studio “sound perfection” bands (side note: I appreciate those bands now more than I did then).
OK, but the Cars' studio music was flawless too...? (I listen carefully to music. Studio recordings for me, please! Live stuff is very secondary to my ears; I enjoy it if it's done well, but it's less essential IMO.)
That voice always makes me smile.😊Can't help myself. Oh, no.
Nicely and respectfully done Fil!
Fil is intelligent. He has integrity. He will always present things sensitively and tactfully. He is class . He is human and lovely too . ♡♡
Durung my childhood days my older brothers always listen to this band the cars,,when i grew up they became my favorites too,,so sad to hear ric passes away but that's life,,thanks fil for featuring them on your channel God Bless you🙏
I'll be correcting my spelling and grammatical issues, my brain was firing far faster than my finger could type. Sadly, the "In Memorium"s will be becoming far more frequently startind now. Time waits for no man. Thank you for both this and the Eddie Money tributes. I lost one of my highest held musical heroes a few years ago in Allen Lanier. We can't help what life brings, all we can do is roll with the punches as they come, one day that punch will have my name on it too.
When I first heard the Cars, I thought the English rock band Be-Bop Delux had reformed with a new name. It hadn't, but the influence is obvious when you hear Ocasic sing.
Yes, exactly right. I haven't been thinking about it much, but I need to come to terms with it. Mick Jagger's health issues were a real wake-up call. With that said, so long to Rick. I loved the Cars, they had some of the best songs ever.
@@sydnick6696 can't disagree. When I'd first heard this, I had already been heavily influenced by Black Sabbath, Blue Oyster Cult, Nazareth, Thin Lizzy ad infinitum. Even James Taylor, Poco, including very early Journey, pre Steve Perry. This actually threw me a bit off balance. I was never a huge fan, but I also never turned it off when the radio played it. They really made a style that was their own. Very few bands actually did that. Hell, as a kid, I loved the Monkeys and that wouldn't have been possible if I didn't already love the Beatles.
They caught me, I was good with it, it literally "hooked" me and isn't that why we love the music we love? I actually enjoyed these songs through out my life and it's a huge loss to the music that could come forward. He produced lots of stuff, that made him a gigantic influence to those that didn't even know it. This really is a loss to humanity.
Well said.
@@idiotxx1 Nothing but love for Fil, absolutely nothing but. He's a great kid, he deserves my absolute respect. and I wish I had just a touch of his skills. I'm an old man who's midlife came with a desire to play guitar that I'd neglected almost all my life, so I'm a tad envious, but I won't for a minute think badly towards those who didn't have to do it early, I just hate myself for not making it a higher priority, That's all on me, not for a minute on those that sorted themselves better.
I'm from the Boston area..Ric's death took a lot of us by surprise. This was such an awesome group, such an iconic keyboard sound, so many different musical elements (as mentioned) great video buddy..thanks for posting
Very classy to do this video - I truly enjoy all of your insights and appreciate your interest in discussing the artistry of musicians. In this day where so much is digitized, recognition of great artistry is valuable indeed.
Wow im in shock another great singer. Loved The Cars .ty so much
One of my favorite live video of the "Cars"...they look so happy here, love they way they clap! Classic pure classic
Thank you Fil for your heart felt video regarding Ric Ocasek.!
Thanks for honoring The Cars and Ric Ocasek, Fil...... one of my very favorite bands! I came of age to their music! .... R.I.P Ric....😢✌❤🤘
Lori..do you remember night tracks on TBS...that's where I learned about the Cars.
@@mevrammcoyoteV8f150 .... no I never heard of that. My family didn't get cable TV until I think 83 or 84. So I wouldn't have had TBS. And I don't know what years that show would have been on TBS.
I had to walk about two miles to my best friend's house to watch MTV when it first aired in 81
They were great and fun. Ric was great, Ben was so talented as well and gorgeous.
Those eyes... So dreamy...
He looks like a twin to Roger Taylor (Queen) back in those days.
Wow, I can tell this one hit you hard, Fil. Thanks so much for producing this video so soon after Ric's passing. Definitely a Rock and Roll original.
Thank you Fil ! I’m glad you reviewed and analyzed The Cars. Glad you pronounced Ric’s last name correctly.
I loved this band since my junior and high school years. So many great songs. I still play them in my to go to playlist. Especially on long car trips.
Starting September 8th 2001, I made it a point to listen to The Cars daily to commemorate Benjamin Orr’s birthday until October 3rd, his death in 2000.
Starting next year I’ll begin listening daily March 23rd (Ric’s birthday) through October 3rd (Benjamin’s death ).
Now he’s in Heaven jamming with Benjamin (his silver).
Got three of their albums in my vinyl collection. 'All I can do' and 'Just what I needed' are my absolute favorite Cars-songs but there's so much great songs they made. From an interview with Elliot I learned that he tried to mix his rockabilly influences in his guitar playing into new wave and look how that worked! Especially in this song. It's the coming together of all those diferent styles that must have made it hard for music journalists to categorise this band so one can only describe them as being unique! No other band sounds like the Cars! And what a name for a band to start with! Such a shame that the passing of Ric had to lead to this (once more: great) analysis video. I was so surprised to learn he reached 75!?? He was one of those guys you couldn't put a label to on his age. Thanks for not only honouring Ric here but the whole band, Fil.
Every song on that first album was a hit to me. The end of an era.
I like how you know how each band member contributes to a song when they perform, like the singer who is getting the message of the song across, the back-up melodies and the musical influences flowing through the instruments. Ric was very artistic and kept busy working. Great tribute to the band as a whole and to Ric and Ben - they both had a individual style about them that can't be replicated.
Love The Cars..! So many Great tunes... But For some reason I'm partial to "Since You're Gone.
RIP Ric....
I’m partial to “Dangerous Type.” I must’ve listened to it 30+ times yesterday.
@@beachgirl4583 She's a lot like you... ;)
Great tune.!!!
Nick you have great taste. That bass line and bens backing vocals are gold. Shake it up and panorama are great albums. Go listen to don’t tell me no. Cruiser live 82” masterpiece and bens ad lib is powerful.
@@Orrphan Thank you.

I was listening to an interview the other day and Ric was surprised "Misfit Kid" never went anywhere. Even made the interviewer play it.
Greg wrote the song.
Love the cars since I first heard him as a teenager back in 78. So unique so awesome. It's a bummer when we lose the good ones. Thanks for the Memories. Peace
I love the beat of this song.I don’t know enough about the band to make any other comment,but Fil,I really admire your respect,by not having ads playing.It warms my heart,thankyou.
It's often overlooked what an incredible record producer he was. He produced Weezer, the Bad Brains, No Doubt, even Bad Religion.
also Romeo Void great band ,,check out a "girl in trouble is a temporary thing" and Never say Never
@@rickwhear4016 RV was awesome.
I saw Romeo Void in Palo Alto CA in the mid 80s. Loved them. I didn't realize Ric produced their album.
Yes! I'd forgotten about that!
Thanks for showing your support
RIP ric
Thank you Fil Ric was great so sad he’s gone, but his music moves on.
The cars debut album, the cars. It is right up there with Boston's debut hard to believe both of these were debut albums because of the great writing, and how well it was put together.
Thank you Fil. I kind of get the feeling that the years he was trying to be successful allowed him the time to develop his unique style. No one sounded like the Cars. Especially his vocal sound and his really intricate song style covering his look at genres of music. Music listeners always like something fresh and Ric gave us that. I liked his solo work too. ROCK! RiP Ric, with thoughts for his loved ones.
Well said
Great tribute and analysis Fil! Regarding your commentary of the different genres and year’s covered I definitely picked up on that. One example is in Ric’s vocals which had elements of the 50’s Buddy Holly sound. Great Musician for sure!
That voice! Even with a bad live recording he still shines.
Terrific analysis of the band and the song. I remember buying the album in 1978 and playing it to death. And your breaking into a huge grin during the guitar solo is priceless! You couldn't stop smiling!!
МНЕ БОЛЬШЕ НРАВИТСЯ БЕН! БОЖЕСТВЕННЫЙ ГОЛОС БЕНА БУДУТ СЛУШАТЬ ВЕКАМИ! ТАЛАНТ ЛЕГЕНДА! НЕДООЦЕНИЛИ БЕНА! 👌👌🇸🇮🇸🇮2023г.
3:23 Exactly!! This is why they were universally loved by punk rock fans , arena rock fans, and New Wave fans alike! The cars were able to infuse multiple genres into their music. It was clear Ric and Co. drew inspiration from a myriad of sources. This band drew me in like a magnet when they hit the scene.
OMG not AGAIN??? Here we go again. All of my best memories from '79 into the '80's are dying with the legends!! RIP Ric😥💓😥
Thank you Fil..you definately honor.. Thanks for the analytical tribute!
Thank you Fil, for this review of The Cars. Gosh, I loved them! They were so refreshing and unique! I still spin my vinyl. Ric had such recognizable vocals. My kids were little and loved them, and still do. Great analysis! RIP Ric! Now I need to go play "Drive" 😔💔
His voice is so good, great to hear him sounding so close to the record when singing live.
A great band I always loved the cars took me through my teenage yrs
RIP Rik, another very sad loss. All the singers I grew up with passing is making me feel very old. I am so incredibly blessed to be a child of the 70's when music was so damn good. Vale Rik, go join your musical brothers and sisters.
Great job Fil! It's a very tough week and your most two recents Eddie and Ric, are extremely well done and give all fans a very special look through your research and love for music! Thanks for giving me and your fans this great review! Keep up this wonderful work!!
I'm sure someone else has already said it, but I'm sure Ric and Ben Orr are jamming together once again.
