Waking up to the classic Cars

"You're always dancing down the street with your suede blue eyes."
I'm waking up, preparing to go to work, while sipping coffee and enjoying the string of classic songs released by THE CARS.
"Just What I Needed," "My Best Friend's Girl" and "Good Times Roll" were the first three singles out of the chute for the BOSTON band, which is remarkable when you think about it.
Each of the trio retains a unique place in music -- hear them, and the recognition is immediate and satisfying. It's hard not to listen to "Good Times Roll," for example, and not be reminded of good times.
In hindsight, The Cars' music became some of the first tunes from the "NEW WAVE" era to gain its place in the pantheon of CLASSIC ROCK.
They still sound great today, a rather drizzly, gloomy Sunday.
