cookieman15061 Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 I recently read that they are in studio working together again and it made me get out the old albums and revisit my freshman year of college. The were the one "new wave" band that I stuck with for more than on album. I'm still amazed at the great guitar solos that Elliott Easton brought to every song. Even the songs that tended to be weird and keyboard driven had unbelievable rock guitar solos right there in the middle. Really an overlooked player.

NeoConMan Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 I'm with you Cookie! I loved the clarity, the heavy, surgically precise drums, and the Easton guitar work. Some of the synth stuff was sorta cool, worked with the songs. Even after they went more pop after Candy-O, there was still a good song or two. Mrs. Neo hears them and says "I can't believe you ever listed to that..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cookieman15061 Posted November 13, 2010 Author Share Posted November 13, 2010 Yeah I don't know if I can take a whole cd worth of just Ocasek on vocals as Ben Orr's voice is sorely missed since he passed away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cookieman15061 Posted November 13, 2010 Author Share Posted November 13, 2010 While on this subject and Moving in Stereo I would love to know if anyone over 35 years old can listen to this song without thinking of the pool scene from Fast Times At Ridgemont High. I know I can't.......... Those first 2 albums were just so freakin good man!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChanMan Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 Gotta add a plus for The Cars! Moving in Stereo is one of my fave's too. Oh and this one.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CCXkAN28urU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeoConMan Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 Not to slam Orr, because I like his vocals, but his voice was not that unique. Somebody will be hired to do his parts. Should be no problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man Ocasek has a look like someone farted at his birthday party on that “Bye Bye Love” clip. Dig the Dean though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChanMan Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 No man, I have other memories attached to that song..... But I can't hear Cashmere without thinking of that movie.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cookieman15061 Posted November 13, 2010 Author Share Posted November 13, 2010 I'd post it but there are nude scenes in it so it would be against the standards of this forum; but if you do a search it can be found. Or just buy the video at Walmart for 5 bucks... And Fountains Of Wayne did a homage to the cars and that scene with their Stacy's Mom Video.

NeoConMan Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 But I can't hear Cashmere without thinking of that movie.... Hah! "... side one of Led Zeppelin IV, chicks can't resist that!" Then in the scene they are playing Kashmir, and it's not even on that album! I always wondered if that was on purpose, as a plot thing in the movie (since it goes bad for the guy). Surely the folks doing music for that movie know their Led Zep better than that, eh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeoConMan Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 I always liked the way Shoo Bee Doo leads into Candy-O. About the time people are wondering what the hell you're listening to, Candy-O comes thundering in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess they were " Just what You Needed " Good Times Roll; simplicity at it's best..New wave ? Perhaps, but will always stand up to the difficult test of time.

It's amazing how fast a thread gets hijacked when there are breasts involved...... And yes Kline IS a genius, and quite possibly the luckiest man alive.
