949. Cars by Gary Numan (1980)

If you want to get a feel for New Wave music, "Cars" is the place to start. Numan took inspiration from a road rage incident to create this work. The song features the use of synthesizers and lacks a chorus. By the mid-80s, synthesizers were a staple of popular music. This was somewhat controversial and artists that relied on them were dubbed "plastic keyboard bands."
