Editorial Review: Album Description: 20 of their best tracks available on 1 CD, including 'Just What I Needed', 'You're All I've Got Tonight', Touch and Go', 'Magic', 'You Might Think' & more. Rhino Records. 2002. Amazon.com: 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
Average Rating:
 Rating:  - MagicBought this collection from The Cars for their song "Magic", and ended up rediscovering a handful of old favorites - Shake it up, My Best Friend's Girl, Drive. Since I'm not a fan of The Cars, I can't gauge the completeness of this compilation. But I do enjoy the aforementioned songs and if you are a fan of The Cars or 80's music in general, then chances are you'll enjoy this set from The Cars. Rating:  - 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. Rating: - 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! Rating: - A Must-Have For Any Fan of The CarsThis 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. My Favorites Are: Shake It Up Moving In Stereo Drive You ...

I remember when Greatest Hits albums were it - you put one out and you were done. Now, there's repackaging, and new editions, updated remasters, and the phrase "Complete Greatest Hits" just strikes me as odd. I mean doesn't the concept of "Greatest Hits" mean that all of your good stuff is there? So why would songs on a "Complete Greatest Hits" as opposed to just "Greatst Hits" be as good? If those songs were as good as the original batch, wouldn't they have been on the first edition? This seems like marketing twaddle to me. Anyway, the songs on here are fine. The Cars are one of those groups where I never really bought their material, since you heard almost all of it on the radio a ... Read More: |
