I liked The Cars when they were hot and still do. I've been listening to their song 'Hello Again' a lot lately.
I didn't like Van Halen back in the day, but do now, mostly because I find them nostalgic. If VH tours next year as they are promising, I'll probably go see them (for the first time) but then I'll be set. I do enjoy David Lee Roth quite a lot (hated Sammy Hagar).
