The Cars were an American rock band that emerged from the early New Wave music scene in the late 1970s. The band consisted of singer and rhythm guitarist Ric Ocasek, singer and bassist Benjamin Orr, guitarist Elliot Easton, keyboardist Greg Hawkes and drummer David Robinson. The band originated from Boston, Massachusetts, and were signed to Elektra Records in 1977.

The Cars were at the forefront in merging 1970s guitar-oriented rock with the new synth-oriented pop that was then becoming popular and which would flower in the early 1980s. Robert Palmer, music critic for The New York Times and Rolling Stone described The Cars' musical style by saying: "they have taken some important but disparate contemporary trends—punk minimalism, the labyrinthine synthesizer and guitar textures of art rock, the '50s rockabilly revival and the melodious terseness of power pop—and mixed them into a personal and appealing blend."[1]

The band broke up in 1988, and Ocasek has always discouraged talk of a reunion since then, flatly telling one interviewer in 1997 "I'm saying never and you can count on that."[2] Easton and Hawkes, however, joined with Todd Rundgren in 2005 to form a spin-off band, The New Cars, which performs classic Cars and Rundgren songs alongside new material.

A more experimental album, Panorama, was released in 1980, charting only one Top 40 hit with "Touch and Go". Rolling Stone described the album as "an out-and-out drag". In 1981, the Cars purchased Intermedia Studios in Boston, renaming it Syncro Sound.[3] The only Cars album recorded there was Shake It Up. It was their first album to spawn a top 10 single with the title track, and had another hit in "Since Youre Gone". Following their 1982 tour, the Cars took a short break and went to work on solo projects, with Ric Ocasek and Greg Hawkes both releasing their debut albums (Beatitude and Niagara Falls, respectively).

The Cars re-united and released their most successful album, Heartbeat City, in 1984. The first single, "You Might Think", helped The Cars win Video of the Year at the first MTV Video Music Awards. Other hit singles from the album included "Magic", "Hello Again", and "Why Cant I Have You". Their most successful single, "Drive", gained particular notability when it was used in a video of the Ethiopian famine prepared by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation and introduced by David Bowie at the 1985 Live Aid concert at Wembley Stadium in London.

カーズ（The Cars）はアメリカ合衆国マサチューセッツ州ボストン出身のロックバンド。バンド名は「全員、車好きだから」という理由から名付けられている。『錯乱のドライブ／カーズ登場』（6xプラチナディスク獲得）、『キャンディ・オーに捧ぐ』（全米アルバムチャート最高3位）、グラミー賞新人賞にノミネートされるなど、デビュー作から立て続けにヒットを続け、その地位を確立していった。最初の2枚のアルバムはロック色が強かったが、3枚目では実験音楽的要素が強まり、4枚目・5枚目ではポップ色が強まっていっており、その音楽のタイプはアルバム毎にどんどん変化していった。MTVが開局してからは、ユニークなミュージックビデオが評判を呼び、次々大ヒットが生まれた。5枚目のアルバム『ハートビートシティ』（全米アルバムチャート最高3位）からは、4曲のヒットがチャートを賑わせた。中でも1984年のシングル「ユー・マイト・シンク (You Might Think)」は、多くの強敵を押しのけ第1回MTVアウォードを受賞した（この年はマイケル・ジャクソンの「スリラー」や、シンディ・ローパーの「ガールズ・ジャスト・ワナ・ハヴ・ファン」やマドンナなどが候補に挙がっていた）。カーズの最大のヒットとなった「ドライブ (Drive)」は、1985年のライブエイドのテーマ曲としても選ばれ、この曲にあわせてエチオピア飢餓の映像のビデオが、デヴィッド・ボウイの司会で世界中に流されるなど、特別な注目も集めた。 しかし、日本での人気は、アメリカではかなりの実績があるにも関わらず低い。
