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

This is the pinnacle of "marketing the same songs". 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 zillion times anyway. But when I was going through and looking for some bands who I liked from the past, and had no material on CD at all from, I hit on this. There's just ... Read More
Rating: - Literally the BEST of the Cars "greatest hits"
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!
Rating: - Not the Complete Greatest Hits!
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.
Rating: - The Cars - Complete Greatest Hits
The price was excelent and delivery on time. The producto, you will not find in just one cd The Cars Greatest Hits, but this is great.
