If rock's most successful and memorable acts have usually succeeded by wrapping their own distillation of music history and personal tastes in whatever fashionable trappings are currently gripping the culture, it's hardly surprising that the Cars remain one of the most enduring symbols of the punk/new wave era. This 20-track anthology distills that argument perfectly. Ric Ocasek's songs embody a solid '60s sense of pop craftsmanship informed by a trend-conscious stylistic sheen and a cynical, slippery emotional detachment that's often betrayed by his own distinctly weary brand of romanticism, from the anxious pop of "Just What I Needed" and "You're All I've Got Tonight" to the melancholy-on-ice musings of "Drive" and "Tonight She Comes." Sixteen of the 20 cuts here were chart singles, and radio staples like "Bye Bye Love" and "Dangerous Type" might as well have been. --Jerry McCulley

Customer Reviews

Awsome!
Great flashback! Ric Ocasek rocks! "Let's Go" is being used in a jeans ad now, which just goes to show you that true classic rock will always live on.

this rocks!
If you're a child/teen of the 80's you'll want to get this! Every time a song came on I couldn't believe it was another great song of theirs that I had forgotten about. What an awesome CD! I highly recommend it!

A Must-Have For Any Fan of The Cars
This cd is an absolutely outstanding career-retrospective celebration of pop/new-wave/classic rock icons, The Cars, from their self-titled 1978 debut all the way up through the 80's. All of their original major hits are featured here on this compiliation from their original album releases and just about every song present here is a classic. 20 whole tracks are provided for a lengthy, thorough listening experience. All of the songs are so catchy and radio-friendly and each flows almost seamlessly from one to the next. This album definitely belongs in any true Cars fan's collection and is also an excellent place to start for those new to the band.
