Summary: Literally the BEST of the Cars "greatest hits"
Comment: I had purchased their previous greatest hits (from the '80's), but it did not include all of their greatest hits!
So, I bought this one and I am now totally fulfilled with The Cars.
There is not one song on it that I don't know, and I listen to it all the time.
2 thumbs up!
Customer Rating:
Summary: Not the Complete Greatest Hits!
Comment: This is a excellent CD, but I think that they could have done a 2 or 3 CD set to capture all of the Cars Greatest hits.

Summary: Candy-O, I need you so....!
Comment: I'm a huge Cars fan. I really enjoyed The New Cars on their tour last year. The question I have with this collection is where is the track "Candy-O"? The song is so quintesentially Cars. Also, I totally agree with the coomment about the seque "Moving in Stereo" into "It's all mixed up" not including that was another mistake.

Summary: On Another Note...
Comment: On another note...notice something is missing here? "Moving In Stereo" is traditionally - [on ALL to the very present Classic Rock Radio Formats and from the very beginning on late 70's FM Radio] - and ALWAYS coupled with the album closer on their debut album, "ALL MIXED UP". You can't include one without the other, as "Moving in Stereo" segues right into "ALL MIXED UP". Its omission here makes this incomplete. There is NO argument there...everybody knows this! Another missing FM staple, "DON'T TELL ME NO"...was ommited. Otherwise, this is a very good, comprehensive one disc compilation.

Editorial Reviews:
|
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
