Just What I Needed 45 rpm sleeve

The Cars: “Just What I Needed” (1978)

Talk about going 0 to 60 in a flash, The Cars were stars after this song came out.

[Review] The Cars (1978)

Finally, a new wave band that everyone could rally around, a radio ally for the rest of us.

Let's Go 45 rpm sleeve

The Cars: “Let’s Go” (1979)

The song that got you revved up for the Cars’ second album. I really need to put the brakes on the car puns.

[Review] The Cars: Candy-O (1979)

Their sophomore effort is a bit soft in spots, but still contains two great songs in “Let’s Go” and “It’s All I Can…

It's All I Can Do 45 rpm single

The Cars: ‘It’s All I Can Do” (1979)

Orr it’s all they would let Ben do, at least until “Drive.” This is still one of the coolest Cars songs.

Panorama album cover

[Review] The Cars: Panorama (1980)

The Cars take a left turn with this moody studio album favoring synthesizers and irregular rhythms.

Touch and Go 45 rpm single

The Cars: “Touch And Go” (1980)

A little engine stutter aside, this is one of the catchiest tracks on The Cars’ most “difficult” album.

Shake It Up

The Cars’ fourth gets out of the gate quick on the strength of “Since You’re Gone” and “Shake It Up” and never looks…

Shake It Up

The Cars: “Shake It Up” (1981)

More “Let’s Go” than “Touch And Go,” the first single from The Cars’ fourth is a party on a platter.

Since You're Gone

The Cars: “Since You’re Gone” (1982)

The moody second single from Shake It Up didn’t quite break the top 40, unless you were counting the MTV Top 40.

Beatitude album cover

[Review] Ric Ocasek: Beatitude (1982)

Robotic synth-rock that lacks the contagious energy of The Cars, Ocasek is still cool on Beatitude but a little cold to the touch.

You Might Think 45 rpm single

The Cars: “You Might Think” (1984)

Turbocharged by top-of-the-line audio and video production, The Cars enter their mass-production phase.

Heartbeat City album cover

[Review] The Cars: Heartbeat City (1984)

Mutt Lange works his multiplatinum magic again as The Cars release the most sucksassfull album of their carears. (I’ll spellcheck that later.)

Change No Change album cover

[Review] Elliot Easton: Change No Change (1985)

Easton’s solo debut is a surprisingly solid album of modern rock featuring the songwriting talents of Jules Shear.

This Side of Paradise album cover

[Review] Ric Ocasek: This Side of Paradise (1986)

A more polished followup to Beatitude, featuring most of The Cars and a bonafide hit in “Emotion In Motion.”
