THE CARS

The Cars Greatest Hits

(Elektra)

Except for their debut, these boys have always been pretty hit-and-miss on albums. There’s not a miss to be had on this superbly selected collection which showcases the finest efforts of Ric “I’m in the driver’s seat” Ocasek. Includes the bonus hit “Tonight She Comes” and all the right choices from “My Best Friend’s Girl” through “Touch And Go” (rescued from Panorama obscurity) and on up to “Magic.” Suffice to say, this is strictly Overdrive City all the way.
