If rocks 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, its 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 Ocaseks songs embody a solid 60s sense of pop craftsmanship informed by a trend-conscious stylistic sheen and a cynical, slippery emotional detachment thats often betrayed by his own distinctly weary brand of romanticism, from the anxious pop of "Just What I Needed" and "Youre All Ive 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

If you enjoy music by Cars - and you dont 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.

If youre a child/teen of the 80s youll want to get this! Every time a song came on I couldnt believe it was another great song of theirs that I had forgotten about. What an awesome CD! I highly recommend it!
A Must-Have For Any Fan of The Cars
Rating Point :5 Helpful Point :0
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 80s. 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 fans collection and is also an excellent place to start for those new to the band.
My Favorites Are:
Shake It Up

Great flashback! Ric Ocasek rocks! "Lets Go" is being used in a jeans ad now, which just goes to show you that true classic rock will always live on.
Magic
Rating Point :4 Helpful Point :0
Bought this collection from The Cars for their song "Magic", and ended up rediscovering a handful of old favorites - Shake it up, My Best Friends Girl, Drive.
Since Im not a fan of The Cars, I cant gauge the completeness of this compilation. But I do enjoy the aforementioned songs and if you are a fan of The Cars or 80s music in general, then chances are youll enjoy this set from The Cars.
