Summary: this rocks!
Comment: 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!

Summary: A Must-Have For Any Fan of The Cars
Comment: This 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 Might Think
Let's Go
Just What I Needed
My Best Friend's Girl
You're All I've Got Tonight
Bye Bye Love
Magic
Plain and simple, this collection hilights The Cars at their finest. Energizing, upbeat and thoroughly catchy ------ what more could you possibly ask for?!!? Recommended for anyone who even remotely likes The Cars.

Summary: Music's fine, but oh look. ANOTHER compilation.
Comment: 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 so many here I know and like, it's pointless in naming individual tracks.
Except this. Moving in Stereo. Phoebe Cates. One of the greatest cinematic scenes ever. ;)

Summary: Literally the BEST of the Cars "greatest hits"
Comment: 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!
Customer Rating:
Summary: Not the Complete Greatest Hits!
Comment: 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.
