About Just What I Needed

“Just What I Needed” was the first big hit from the Boston-based band. Sung by their bass player Benjamin Orr, the track established their heavy pop/new wave style. The track was from their self-titled debut album, which established their “new wave” style. Though it’s a description for many of the successful late 70s bands, The Cars is considered one of the best from that cohort, as its two-year stint on the Billboard charts can attest. .
