The Cars never seemed content with straight-up rock & roll. Always pushing the possibilities of guitars, pedals, synthesizers and anything that made sounds. “Good Times Roll” was their introduction to the music world, literally. The first track off the debut album, it exposed us and surprised us with epileptic guitar riffs, Ocasek’s somewhat creepy vocals and the foreshadowing of new wave synth pop.
“Let them leave you up in the air. Let them brush your rock and roll hair. Let the good times roll.”
