AMG Review of Greatest Hits
Greg Prato
All Music GuideThe Cars were responsible for some of ock'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" allad "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.

I mean, I like M & Ms, and I don't entirely hate circuit city, but I hate I instantly associate some great songs with p...

We watched Pete and Pete last night on dvd and watched an episode where little Pete found his first favorite song. This made me wonder what my first favorite song was. I'm pretty sure it was "You Might Think" by The Cars. I loved the awful, cheesy video so much. I would always be so excited every time I saw it on MTV. I associate warm weather with The Cars also. There's nothing better tha...
