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 h… More >>

The CARS were one of the most annoying, dumb, pathetic, lame, overrated, stupid, lousy, and awful bands ever came out in the 70’s. Their lead singer RIC OCASEK sings horribly and sings like a baby. This greatest-hits album was a huge joke that each and every song is incredibly bad.
Their guitar playing is really bad. They are only recommended for loosers. Don’t listen to the five star reviewers of this album and avoid CD’s from the Cars, Nirvana, and AC/DC who suck. Listen to good bands like Foreigner and Dire Straits insted.
ps.the cars are for babies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think The cars are stupid!! They are only meant for little babies. This is the worst album I have ever heard and has a few
of the worst most lousiest songs in DANGEROUS TYPE, and LET’S GO.
If you give this awful album 5 stars, I will be dissapointed…
Even Metallica is better than this. Avoid this and go with all the legends of Dire Straits, Foreigner, Metallica, Nirvana, Guns N’ Roses, and Green Day insted. All of them will be legends forever. Want me to say it again? FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Cars suck, so please don’t buy any of their albums.

It’s a great CD but I does not have Who’s Gonna Drive You Home. If it had had that I would have given it five stars.

I bought this album to replace another Cars album that was lost. Heartbeat City isn’t on this one which I missed a lot. Luckily I found my lost album.

I listened to almost every song on this, there most of the songs
great. “Dangerous Type” is the worst Cars song of all time and
should be removed from this compilation and same thing for “It’s
All I Can Do”. Candy-O would be an album I would never buy. But
there are some classics off this too!!! This is great but not
the best though!!!
