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

 NO RIP-OFFS HERE January 2, 2009
Unlike all the other "HITS cd's", on the market ( NOW A DAYS ) this band and album does not fail to please everybody. IT IS PERFECT. Length and song selection is good. Some people may be upset that 2 minor hits where left off ( HEART BEAT CITY and STRAP ME IN ). BUT HAY!!! There's no room on the cd for them. ALL THE BIG HITS ARE THERE. Really, this is maybe the GREATEST 80's MUSIC HITS ALBUM out.This is really the best money spent ever on a great "SUMMER .....DESERT ISLAND cd".
Cars - Complete Greatist Hits November 26, 2008
If you enjoy music by Cars - and you don't have these songs in your collection, then get this one. I would say that this "Complete Greatist Hits" is the best "Greatist Hits" from Cars. This product was received without any visual nor operating problems.
 Magic October 18, 2008
Bought 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.
Awsome! October 12, 2008
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.
this rocks! October 6, 2008
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!
