Rock Project is a serie of articles about the contribution of several bands to my taste of rock, hard rock and metal. The Cars was one of them with albums and musics that increases the valour of guitars, bass and drums (not a particular fan of keeboards, but if is good applied in music...). Probably was one of the first groups that i discovered by myself (when RTP had music programs..lol), but was very important to what came next.
In 06/05/2018 they enter in Rock All of Fame, wich recognises the importante of the group for the world music panorama, but the work in 70's and inicial 80's were the principal factor of their influence across the world. To bad that they make a brake from twenty years and only in this decade, they return. Afortunatelly Benjamin Orr died and last album was recorded without him (one of the main song writing of the group), and that makes me think if they keep going from the 70's to this century, with all members and making an album/tour from 2 or 3 times in a decade? The last record, launch in this century was not bad, but Cars were 5 unique members. Anyway, they are a band that for me change rock and my live, sice that sound makes my interest in the discover of new sounds, and much importante, the more heavy ones.
