I gotta agree. Just What I Needed is my favourite as well.

It was a toss up between Let the Good Times Roll and My Best Friends' Girl Friend but went with Let the Good Times Roll.

We just need to party sometime, reinchaser :)

Not a big Cars fan, but I quite like 'Let The Good Times Roll'

Beeelll, Beeelll, Beeelll, Bell, Bell, Bell, Bell...Beeelll, Beeelll, Beeelll, Bell-Bell-Bell-Bell...LET'S GO!!!

Bye Bye Love

Let's Go

"Let The Good Times Roll"

I picked "Dangerous Type" and "Just What I Needed" would be a close second.

Let's Go

Other: Just What I Needed

Bye Bye Love - always my fave of theirs.

"Lets Go" , its one of my faves!

Of course, how can you not like "Moving In Stereo," simply for the fact that it's the song that plays while Phoebe Cates emerges from the pool in slow motion in "Fast Times At Ridgemont High." ;)

It's funny but The Cars sounded really new, fresh and different in the late '70s when they started to get alot of air play.

I don't think they've aged well.
There's a lesson to be learned here I guess. ???

For sentimental reasons I went with "Let's Go".

Update on 12/8/04: Okay, I've been hearing that "Just What I Needed" song alot lately and it don't sound too bad. Kinda good. So, I'll go ahead and add it to my other Cars favorite.  :)

;DI voted for Bye Bye Love--I have actually heard both the Cadence version and the Warner version on the road.Cheers!

I love "Double-Life"  8)

I chose the OTHER song that the late Benjamin Orr sings lead on...."Just What I Needed", followed by "Let's Go"

Yeah, I'm surprised that one isn't listed; it was their first big hit in the U.S. "Let's Go" and "My Best Friends Girl" are the others I would pick.

'My best friends girl' followed by 'Just what i needed.

I know I've mentioned this before in the forums, but I also like the tune Why Can't I Have You very much and think it is terribly underrated. I still remember the video for it being played on Friday Night Videos. The roses and a dark room stand out in memory. :)

I voted for Let's Go.

I chose Other...Had to pick Just What I Needed!!!

(funny enough, I got the music video for this song just last night from the TV!!!)





Alright Now

I voted for other with "just what I needed", all great songs on the list though. I saw the Cars in Toronto in the very early 80's, they had a sound all their own :)

My two favs are the same as yours RnR Fan,only the other way around.."Let's Go" then "Just what I needed".

RnR Fan,could you tell me what happend to Benjamin Orr?

1. I'm In Touch With Your World  (sentimental reasons - Hubby and I had "secret notes" quoting the lyrics when we were younger  ;)  )

2. Just What I Needed

Let's Go
Just What I Needed

Moving In Stereo

Let's Go

Let The Good Times Roll

Moving In Stereo

I'm with you.  "Moving In Stero" is a magnificent song.  Of course, I always remember that scene from "Fast Times At Ridgemont High." You know, the one with Judge Reinhold, "Doesn't anybody knock?!"
:P

I like most Cars songs from most Cars albums, '70s and '80s!

Even though Ric Ocasek was the main lead vocalist, my two favorite 70's songs are both from Ben Orr -- "Just What I Needed" and "Let's Go" - both mid-paced rock with a real precursor to the new wave sound that would explode a few years later.

From Ric, my fave early song would be "My Best Friend's Girl".
