Great albums part 3

Music was interesting in the 70's, there was rock and pop and punk and disco, amongst other forms of music. The first three albums that I chose for my list were all 70's albums as is the one I am going to choose now. I am not a 70's fanatic, I was actually more of an 80's guy when it came to music.(meaning that I was a teenager in the 80's). The album that I chose for this installment is "The Cars", by, of course, The Cars. The Cars later got lumped into that whole 80's MTV scene, which was unfortunate. A little bit of electronics and alot of cool rock songs is what their first album was all about. There is not an unrecognizable song on the album, including: "Just what I needed", "Let the good times roll", "You're all I've got tonight", and others. The Cars were one of those bands that the metal heads said was gay, but when you grow up and appreciate it for it's musical value, it holds up as one of the best.
