Golden Earring spent more than five decades together, enjoying massive success in their home country and achieving international renown with tracks like 1973’s “Radar Love,” 1982’s “Twilight Zone,” and 1984’s “When the Lady Smiles.” While “Twilight Zone” was the group’s highest-charting song in the U.S., peaking at Number 10 on the Billboard Hot 100, their epic, multi-faceted opus “Radar Love” (which peaked at Number 13) remains Golden Earring’s most enduring hit and a staple of classic rock radio. (It also landed at Number Three on Rolling Stone‘s list of the 50 Best Road Trip Songs.)

“This song was responsible for 80 percent of U.S. speeding tickets in 1974. (The rest were caused by ‘Takin’ Care of Business.’),” Rolling Stone’s Rob Sheffield wrote of “Radar Love” while praising Golden Earring’s 1974 album Moontan. “It remains one of the all-time coolest driving songs, with hypnotic bass and white-line fever poetry. ‘I’ve been driving all night, my hands wet on the wheel’ — now there’s an opening line.”
