katie_sane Posted December 4, 2005 Report Share Posted December 4, 2005 I've started to really get into The Cars. I've noticed that there are a lot of Cars fans on Songfacts, and I'd like to hear your album/song recommendations so I can expand my listening Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edna Posted December 4, 2005 Report Share Posted December 4, 2005 (edited) I´m glad we talk about The Cars! I have all their albums (not much) except a compilation... My favorite is Candy-O, with gems such as "The dangerous type" and "Got a lot on my head". "Heartbeat City" is also a must for me... they made some pretty videos with Andy Warhol. But if I should decide what album I´d take on a deset island... I don´t know, I guess I´ll take the five I have: The Cars, Candy-O, Panorama, Shake it up and Heartbeat City. I don´t have "Door to Door" though, and I guess I listened to it just a couple of times... I don´t know why I didn´t get it... I found this site... Very informative!! As I´m reading about the videos of "Heartbeat City" I see there´s only one by Andy Warhol... I remember I had the whole set of clips in 1985... sorry, here you´ll have the right information!

johnnyguitar Posted December 4, 2005 Report Share Posted December 4, 2005 I had the first two on vinyl and Candy-o on CD, but I just bought a good compilation with pretty well all their finest moments. Having said that, I think their first album is pretty well perfect in the sense that there's not a bad track and they move from song to song really well, one leading to the other in a way that Best of's and compilations never do. The musicianship is superb and Eliot Easton is a very underrated guitarist. I saw them live once but they weren't very good when I saw them, their voices definitely needed that 'studio touch' But...a cracking albums band, and well worth getting into.

katie_sane Posted December 5, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2005 Thanks guys! I was in a cd shop today and was having a look for some of the cd's you mentioned but they had no Cars cd's at all. Think I'll have a look online Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arachnidoc Posted December 9, 2005 Report Share Posted December 9, 2005 Make sure to get an album with 'Moving in Stereo'. It has a great synth stab, and it's a kick to play at pool parties! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
