Album of the Day

The five original members of The Cars - Ric Ocasek, Benjamin Orr, Elliot Easton, Greg Hawkes and David Robinson - made six studio albums together for Elektra Records and have sold more than 23 million albums in the U.S. alone. Cut with longtime producer Roy Thomas Baker, PANORAMA became the band's third consecutive Platinum set and peaked at #3 on the Billboard Album Chart. Boasting a darker, more experimental tone than its predecessors, the 1980 collection became a fan favorite thanks to songs like "Touch And Go," "Up And Down," and "Gimme Some Slack." PANORAMA offers a broad look at the New Wave hitmakers' strengths, and we'll give it another spin to wish guitarist Easton a happy 70th birthday.
