If you grew up in a certain time this guy's arrival was a breath of fresh air.
A fusion of rock and new wave that was...different.
He wrote what seemed like simple songs but were sonically different and recorded in a highly polished and deceptively complex way that hooked me bad.
I still have their first album I bought the minute it came out...that is album, not tape or CD, and played it into the ground.
This was their debut single coming at you out of the radio...It actually shocked many with the new sound.
It was new, it was different, it was catchy AND IT WASN'T DISCO!
MTV was new at the time and the Car's videos seemed like they were playing every 10 minutes which helped that channel grow into something huge.
I was 23 when his first album dropped and it changed my life a little.
My musical enjoying life, anyway.
RIP man...thanks for all the enjoyable hours listening to your creations.
