Moving in Stereo is a top 20 song for me.

That repeated synth melody was my ring tone for about 5 years.

Totally. Drive was in my 1980s ten picks for the 'decades tournament'.

These guys had a great sound and were ahead of the curve.

I too am surprised he was as old as he was.

It's weird that you guys are surprised by his age.

He looked 40-ish in those classic 80s videos.

Yeah, I think he looked somehow vaguely 60+ for his entire public career.

I think it's more that it makes me feel old. I was 8 when "The Cars" album came out.

I agree he has always looked "oldish".

Holy shit, don’t play anymore music from living musicians until we get this sorted out!
