Whats on your turntable tonight?

@bslon Bill, for me, I would probably rank their albums like this:

1 - The Cars

2 - Heartbeat City

3 - Candy-O

4 - Panorama

5 - Move Like This

6 - Door to Door

7 - Shake it Up

When Heartbeat City came out I thought they had "sold out" with the slick production and pop songs.  I got burnt out hearing so much of it on the radio and MTV, so let's say that I didn't have the same appreciation for it that I do now. 

It's those very same things - the exquisite production and amazing songcraft that lead to so much enjoyment when I listen to it now.

Carolyn Hester – Carolyn Hester (Tradition 1961)

Pug Horton – Don't Go Away (Bodeswell 1979)

John Haley Sims, Harry Sweets Edison – Just Friends (Pablo 1980)

Aurora – A Different Kind Of Human, Step 2 (Glassnote 2019)

@big_greg Hey Greg, nostalgia definitely figures into our rankings. Me (and friends) about wore out their first 2 LPs when they came out. Seems HC did that for you, agree that the production was pretty slick. I moved SIU up the list over the years because the keyboard work sounds so good on my system. I like that you’re a fan too, as are others.

@sbank Spencer, I’ve seen a few of their shows too, the first time at the Portland Paramount Theatre as a promo for The Cars S/T by KGON FM 92 for 92¢. I wish they’d bring back those prices. 😂😭

BTW, spellcheck turned Ric to Rick earlier if you caught that…
