The Cars
The Cars, ‘My Best Friend’s Girl’, 1978. The first picture disc single in the UK, which helped get this to Number 3 in the UK charts. The Cars were power-pop and benefited from punk and New Wave making ‘edgy’ guitars cool. Drummer David Robinson had played with the original Modern Lovers and knew a thing about a tight, chugging pop riff. Clean, crisp, tight and snappy. Cheesy keyboard. Fab lead guitar break. Hand claps. It’s Pop music!
