the cars

Cheap Trick, Deep Purple, the Cars, Yes, Steve Miller and Chicago are among the acts newly nominated for possible induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

The Cars released 'Candy-O' in June 1979.

They started the '80s on a relative low note, with the critical and commercial comedown of 1980's poorly received 'Panorama' album, but the Cars bounced back with 'Shake It Up' the following year -- and then they really hit their stride with 'Heartbeat City.'

Accompanying this morning's announcement of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's 2015 induction class was the usual head shaking and open-mouthed disbelief that some of classic rock's oldest and most worthy bands were passed up once again.

'The Colbert Report' will be missed, but it went out on a high note..

A '60s-inspired garage band formed by members of Blondie and the Cars will come out with their debut on Aug. 5.

It somehow never got any higher than No. 18, but became their bestselling record over the years.

The Cars reunite in Minneapolis tonight!

The group's highly anticipated new album comes out today and the band is ready to rock for a reunion tour.

If you were hoping for an album that truly sounds like The Cars, you will be quite pleased with their latest effort.
