Memories from our junior and high school youth, late 1970s through the 80s, when any thing was still to come, was still possible...
A lot of bands played a lot of good songs from the late 1970s through the 1980s, but if I had to choose only one band, it would have to be THE CARS, as they had more of songs I would consider "favorites" than any other band...
The first 6 were/are a few examples of my favorites from THE CARS

This #7 above here was by Rich Springfield, also one of my true favorites; this (though never making #1) was so much better ---- in terms of instrumental, singing, & rhythm ---- than his #1 "Jesse's Girl."
