Elektra, 1984
Genre: Pop Rock, New Wave
It always surprises me that the Cars have not achieved a more legendary status. Every song is great. Like, maybe they're not all bangers, but there aren't any that make you want to skip to the next track, or say "this song sucks". Furthermore, the greatest songs are memorably excellent and have an air of nostalgia that isn't necessarily tied to specific life events. It's the tone.
This isn't my favourite Cars record, but I'm always game to spin it. Also, one of my exes always used to sing "Drive" at karaoke, so perhaps there is a legitimate dose of nostalgia in there as well. It's fun when a tune takes you back to some random evening long ago.
Vroom vroom.
