I lost touch just about when the Cars released that album. Clearly remember transferring that record to a fresh TDK cassette for the car.Their debut album was fantastic at the time. Very "new" since LZ,Stones,Who...were essentially done.
Gave up records for CD's to play on the "rack" Technics system through the 80's while boycotting R&R after 1979!
The ironic thing is very little new music holds my interest now and I've collected plenty of 80-90's records in genres I despised.
It DOESNT include the glam metal scene,rap or pop MTV had such an influence on back then.
Guess I'm doing the cycle of life thing. My lack of awareness in my young 20's would never consider Classical,Jazz and Blues in 1981. Now, those genres get most play on the record machine.
Currently blasting a minty Led Zep debut on the table,and there's 21 vacuum tubes RED HOT.
