    Aside from being the lead singer, guitarist, and songwriter of The Cars who had some of the best music the 80s could offer, Ric Okask has produced albums by Bad Brains, Guided by Voices, Weezer’s multi-platinum Blue and Green albums, No Doubt, and Bad Religion among many others.

    The Cars - Just What I Needed, My Best Friends Girl, Good Times Roll, Shake It Up, Since You’re Gone, You Might Think, Magic, Drive, Hello Again,Tonight She Comes, You Are The Girl, Dangerous Type

    Dire Straits -  Sultans of Swing, Tunnel of Love, So Far Away, Money for Nothing, Walk of Life 

    Moody Blues - Nights in White Satin, I’m Just A Singer (In A Rock & Roll Band), Your Wildest Dreams, Ride My See-Saw, The Story in Your Eyes, I Know You’re Out There somewhere

    Surely you know some of these?
  • I still wish KISS would have reunited when they were inducted. 
    Anyone think Oasis will reunite when they get inducted next year?

    Read this piece and thought it was pretty spot on about the nomination process. It's a shame. The Cars and Dire Straits over Radiohead and every other snubbed band from previous years is a joke.

    It's a hopeless situation...

    Oasis before (or at the same time as) Radiohead would make Radiohead fans very happy.

    Funny that the article above thinks that Radiohead was asked but they wouldn't perform. 

    I kind of believe that.
