EPISODE SUMMARY:
In an era when so many iconic bands were formed and albums produced, some of the true greats unfortunately fall by the wayside. The thing is, the moment you hear a song from pop rock masters The Cars, you instantly recognize it and are helpless to resist its nostalgic groove. So it's a wonder that their 1978 self-titled debut, which is so chock full of hits, is not more widely celebrated. But it has not been forgotten by comedian Robert Kelly.
