Talk:Panorama (The Cars album)

Lead vocal credit in track listing section

Please do not change the article again without discussing it on the album discussion page. The standard format should be used unless there is a compelling reason to change it. Since nothing has been added to the discussion page to justify the deviation, I am reverting this edit. --Fantailfan 14:07, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

Lead vocal credit in track listing section again

You have again changed the article without discussing it on the album discussion page. The standard format should be used unless there is a compelling reason to change it. Since nothing has been added to the discussion page to justify the deviation, I am reverting this edit again and requesting semi-protection. --Fantailfan 20:16, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

Okay, I don't know who you were referring to, but I just now, six years later, changed the article without asking permission first. Here's your "discussion": Ric Ocasek and Benjamin Orr both sing leads on track 8, "You Wear Those Eyes". Ben sings the verses, and Ric sings the choruses. Yes, I mean actual leads, one lone voice, apart and up front.

I have seen in this article's history where somebody reverted an edit, saying Correction: it's Ocasek's vocals on "You Wear Those Eyes", not Orr's. This is an example of why you should never, ever, EVER begin a statement with "Correction:" You look like a snot when you're right, which is bad enough, but you look like an ASS when you're WRONG. And he was. And he did.

Anyway: There's your discussion. I know my Ocasek from my Orr, and I have for a long time. It's like knowing John Lennon from Paul McCartney -- once you know it, it's so obvious, it seems absurd that you could've ever been confused. I'm completely certain. So I changed it.

What I really love about this, is that Orr sing-speaks the monotone, quiet and creepy, low-pitched bit, and Ocasek sings the open, emotional, melodic, higher-pitched bit. It's the dead opposite of what the journalists and the half-assed-fans think is The Cars's "formula"!

"Touch and Go", #37 U.S. single, does not have its own article. Why?

"Touch and Go" does not have its own article. It wasn't even listed as a single in the template, until I added it (without discussing it with anybody, because it's indisputable). Here's the rest of what I have to say about it:

The template doesn't list all singles, it lists singles with articles. --Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars^{Talk to me} 20:20, 4 February 2013 (UTC)

Well, the song does have its own article, NOW.
