The Cars - The Cars

Classic 1978 debut album

Includes "Just What I Needed," "My Best Friend's Girl," and "Good Times Roll"

The Cars' 1978 self-titled debut, issued on the Elektra label, is a genuine rock masterpiece. all nine tracks are new wave/rock classics, still in rotation on rock radio. Whereas most bands of the late '70s embraced either punk/new wave or hard rock, the Cars were one of the first bands to do the unthinkable — merge the two styles together.

A huge reason why the Boston quintet became America's most popular new-wave band, The Cars launched eight tracks still regularly heard on radio stations everywhere. Consider the hit list: "You're All I've Got Tonight," "Good Times Roll," "Just What I Needed," "Moving in Stereo," "My Best Friend's Girl," and "Don't Cha Stop." If you're a fan of pop music, this album is a must-have. Just call it the best new-wave rock album ever made.
