Band history
The Cars were at the forefront in merging 1970s guitar-oriented rock with
the new synth-oriented pop then becoming popular, and which would flower in
the early 1980s. While most of the singles included an Elliot Easton guitar
solo, The Cars' sound was defined much more by the distinctive and instantly
recognizable vocals of chief songwriter/rhythm guitarist Ric Ocasek and
bassist/sex symbol Benjamin Orr. The sound was filled out by Greg Hawkes'
synthesizers and the huge harmonies of Easton, David Robinson, and Hawkes.
While Ric Ocasek was the sole lyricist and main songwriter for the band,
Benjamin Orr would act as frontman in concerts and live appearances.

True, and you can see Hawkes and Easton touring this fall (if you happen
to be on the west side of the Pond) with Todd Rundgren and ex-Tubes
drummer Prairie Prince.

Now, did you have an Access question, since two of the three groups you
posted to are about Microsoft Access (a database program).

[OB Access, rhetorical] How do I design a database that tracks band
members over time?
