The CARS are great. Was not a huge fan in the late 70s but appreciate the greatness now!

I feel out of place in this thread because Dad music to me is Glenn Miller on scratchy 78s.

I can't listen to a large quantity of swing, but I get why my Dad liked it.

Admit it, Carm. You wish you were a Boogie Woogie bugle boy from Company B!

How old are you? were you around when the earth cooled? did you and Methuselah hang out?

CCR, Jethro and REO Speedwagon are the one that annoyed the shit out of me riding in the car with dad growing up but I can't get enough of them now.

In the early 80's there was a gang of roughly 20 of us that all hung out and partied together (mostly at the 18th Amendment Saloon off of 82nd & Center). The lads listened to a lot of The Cars and the lasses listened to the Bangles. Made for some great road trip battles on trips to Lake Okaboji, Lake McConaughy, etc.

The LAST time I saw The Cars in concert was at - of all places - the Nebraska State Fair. Todd Rundgren had joined them as lead singer following the departure of Ric Ocasek (may he RIP), and musically they were still tight AF.

Nebraska was in the Big 7 when I was born.

I never saw them tho I have seen Elliot Easton play and jam with someone...at the Canyon Club in Agoura Hills. With Kotzen maybe? I forget.

In the early 80s all of us that hung out at college were either Van Halen or were AC/DC fans.

The Frat dorks like the Bangles and the GoGos. Mostly cause it brought in the girls.

Me and my friends were not smart enough to realize that we drove the girls away with "our" music. Oh well.

Luckily my dad's music was 70s rock so I've always appreciated that. I also grew up in what I guess would be considered dad music now in the 80s and early 90s so I didn't have to learn to appreciate it I lived it.

I got to Swimtown in '92 thanks to the Air Force. Partied a lot at 18th, sneak-a-leak's were awesome! Also remember a strip club out off Dodge at like 120th or something like that...thought that was WAY out west. HAHA, not so much anymore

Mellow 70s Gold…excellent playlist on Amazon Music. Updates every so often and is all good stuff you forgot, but know every word too.

Would throw Yacht Rock in there too.

And blow me if you don’t like it, you uncultured swine.
