The Cars - Whos Gonna Drive You Home Stranger Eyes
Review by Michel van Helden
"Who's Gonna Drive You Home" is a classic album by the iconic American rock band, Cars. Released in 1984, this album is a perfect example of the band's unique style of new wave and synth-pop music.
The album's title track, "Drive," became one of the biggest hits of the 1980s, with its catchy melody and memorable lyrics. Other standout tracks on the album include "Stranger Eyes," "You Might Think," and "Magic."
The band's lead vocalist, Ric Ocasek, delivers his signature vocals throughout the album, while the band's use of synthesizers and electronic drums creates a futuristic and innovative sound.

About The Cars
American New Wave rock group from Boston, Massachusetts. Formed in 1976.
Released their first single and LP two years later. Initially a guitar-driven rock act with some progressive keyboard accompaniment, after their first album they rapidly moved toward a heavily synth-based, pop-rock sound, then disbanded in 1988. Line-up: (vocals, guitar), Benjamin Orr (vocals, bass), (guitar), (keyboards, sax, guitar) and David Robinson (drums).
The Cars were one of the most successful American New Wave bands to emerge in the late 1970s, and in the ensuing decade the band racked up a string of platinum albums and Top 40 singles.
In 2006, Greg Hawkes and Elliot Easton, together with and (both of Utopia) and (formerly of The Tubes) formed The New Cars and played mainly original Cars material live.
In 2011 The Cars (without Benjamin Orr who had passed away on October 4, 2000) released a new album and went on tour again with Greg Hawkes taking over on bass and Ric Ocasek as sole lead singer.
Inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2018, and reunited once more to perform at the induction ceremony. Ric Ocasek passed away on September 15, 2019.

Thank you so much for posting this. There is a poem by Nabokov, "Who will drive me home?" very short but deeply poignant. Published in 1978/9. I've always wondered if it inspired this song. They are very different pieces, but have the same sense of longing.
