[quote:e0f1dca1f8="macnole"][quote:e0f1dca1f8="PotKettleBlack"] Don't get me started on the similarities between Jose Oquendo in 140-200 and "Magic Dick" in the J. Geils Band. Spooky.[/quote:e0f1dca1f8]
that was awesome 8-)
The comment, not the J. Geils Band :wink:[/quote:e0f1dca1f8]
Hey, I agree about the comment, but what's wrong with the J. Geils Band? Just because Rick Ocasek married Porizkova doesn't mean the Cars were superior (although it must be considered and accounted for).
J. Geils band was the Freddie Lindstrom of the 80's. Solid. Exceptional in the right arena.

Cars are ultimately the better band because of Ocasek's outsider status (marrying PP was probably the worst thing he could do, from a material to write music about) and original vocalist Ben Orr (who sounds a lot like Ric O, but delivered better). J. Geils is like the world's greatest bar band, only they went way further than any bar band should go. Magic Dick played harmonica (all star, which makes him the anti-Oquendo, except that being the greatest harmonica player is like being the greatest pinch hitter). I had an album where he was credited with 7 other instruments. Sax, trumpet, harmonium, some percussion, whatever. Like Oquendo. He could do a little of everything. Not well enough to start (except the harmonica), but enough to fill.
