Album Review

The Cars were responsible for some of rock's most recognizable radio hits by the mid-'80s, so when the band took an extended break after their successful tour for Heartbeat City, 1985's Greatest Hits was assembled. Mixed in with the familiar selections was a brand-new track, the playful "Tonight She Comes" (which became a Top Ten hit), as well as a remix of the overlooked "Shake It Up" ballad "I'm Not the One." And while most of the expected hits are represented ("Just What I Needed," "Let's Go," "Drive," "Shake It Up," etc.), some of the selections prove questionable — why was the title track from Heartbeat City (an unsuccessful single) included instead of the 1984 Top 20 hit "Hello Again"? Other missing radio staples include "You're All I've Got Tonight," "It's All I Can Do," and the title track from Candy-O, which would have made the collection definitive (all are included on the more extensive Just What I Needed: The Cars Anthology from 1995). But for the casual fan, Greatest Hits will do the trick.

Customer Reviews

Heartbeat City now available!!

Although this is a decent collection of some of The Cars hits (13 songs), I would recommend getting "The Cars: Complete Greatest Hits" (20 songs) then adding Heartbeat City from this collection.

Great Music!

My dad and I put this on in the car on the way to basketball practice. We blast it through the speakers and sing along! This is a great album. I'm 13 and I think this is a lot better than that stuff they call "music" today. Great vocals, instruments, and sound effects. This is music!

OMG

If I could give it 10,000,000,000,000,000 stars... I would. I LOVE this album. My favorite songs on it are "Just What I Needed", "Tonight She Comes", " Good Times Roll", and "You Might Think".

Blondie may have had a string of number one hits and Talking Heads may have won the hearts of the critics, but the Cars were the most successful American new wave band to emerge in the late '70s. With its sleek, mechanical pop/rock, the band racked up a string of platinum albums and Top 40 singles that made it one of the most popular American rock & roll bands of the late '70s and early '80s. While they were more commercially oriented than their New York peers, the Cars were nevertheless inspired...
