I like The Cars, but my view is that their success was the beginning of the end for rock ‘n roll. After The Cars, producers kept looking for different new styles.

Talking Heads and Blondie very influential, but to me when bands like Zeppelin brought in synthesizers and wrote poppier songs like “All of my Love” THAT was the end

There was still room in the 80s for a decent rock band... look at Dire Straights, no New Wave there
