I was always impressed at how Elliot managed to sneak straight rockabilly riffs in to a New Wave hit.

[jamsee]

Definitely should have been entered into rock & roll hall of fame way earlier but better late than never! Love how their songs are so simple sounding and just so catchy describing romance, heartbreak, fast cars to hot women... such a dream of a band. RIP to Benjamin and Ric. Think all of them are legends in this magical American band.

Robinson's drumming and Eaton's guitar riffs are spot on.

Saw the Cars with the Motels back in 80. Rick Ocasek is not just a musical genius but a genius period. Thank God he used his immeasurable intelligence for the greater good...MUSIC!! The world is a far better place for it your choice. The Cars are a timeless and Legendary in their music. Rock on.

He still looked great for his age. Thanks for the memories. Rest In Peace, buddy.

Ric Ocasek has died today at the age of 75. This is a real sad loss. Now he joins Benjamin Orr. Rest In Peace.

Loved every song they played in this LONG overdue induction!
Ben is missed but the heart of the Cars is still rocken!!
With Rics vocal rifs, Elliots master guitar playing, Greg's one of a kind keyboards and with David's rhythm this is what Rock and Roll is about folks, this music is sorely missed today!
Ric you will are sorely missed, RIP!

the eighties was a magical time. im glad I got to experience it. Mtv played the cars videos at least twice an hour and it seemed like they were always on the radio. RIP Ric thanks for the memories.

Saw The Cars in 1982 at the US Festival. Great music, great musicians, great people. Really deserve to be in the Rock and Roll hall of fame.

Didn’t even notice Scott Shriner was in this until it was mentioned during an interview during an acoustic show. Nice to see Ric Ocasek was on good terms with Weezer before his passing. His work with Weezer (Producing The Blue Album, Green Album, and EWBAITE) introduced me to him and I’m so glad that Weezer could be a gateway to me discovering The Cars. Rip Ric Ocasek

RIP Ric, You were the beat we danced to in the 7th and 8th grade.

I was glad to see the Cars were inducted into the rock hall in 2018___r.i.p Ric!!

What can you say that hasn't already been said, I grew up listening to Rick and the cars back in the 70s and 80s, I'm so thrilled that they finally made to the rock and roll hall of Fame. Their music was timeless and eternal still is, it defined a generation. Rick you may be in heaven now performing magic for Jesus and the heavenly host, but rest easy my brother we will be there soon to sing all your timeless songs with you again RIP my brother❤️🌹🌹🌹
