My vote went to "Drive". I am not a Cars fan, but Drive is an amazing song.

"Since You're Gone" is an 80's favorite.
For ALL Cars tunes, it's gotta be "Candy-O" (1979).
Notice how some of the songs on Heartbeat City sound a lot like Def Leppard (thanks Mutt)?

I chose 'Magic'. What a great chorus! Very powerful.
As for all Cars hits, I would go for 'My best friend's girl'. What a cracking riff.

My Best Friend's Girl. That song actually came on in a club where one of my friends was with her boyfriend and his best friend this girl used to date. I tried not to crack up when the song came on, she was so mortified and the guys were wishing the song would just end. Everytime I hear that song, I think of that night.

My favorites are not on the list :P. Lust for Kicks is my favorite (I think that was 79 though) and It's All I Can Do is a close second.

I thought the melody had la poignant marching feel to it. As if to say, 'hey I'm going to try to battle on without you'.
Beautiful song - as are most of Cars stuff. :)

I voted for Heartbeat City. The song, without the aid of video, paints a very cool picture!

Other - "Tonight She Comes"
I would've chosen "Let's Go" but I believe that was released in '79.

Oh you're going to think I'm horrible...
Because it's not on the GH album, like most of the others here, "Moving in Stereo"
From the GH album, I liked "Let the Good Times Roll"

I think Benjamin Orr sang it also. IMO he had a better studio voice on the records, but Rik Ocasic (sp?) sounded better live, or at least on the live spots I saw on TV.

Great thread. I just bought the Live Aid DVD - it is so sad to see Benjamin Orr - what a great voice. :\'(

I chose 'other' because my fav is 'Dangerous Type'. I think Letters to Cleo re-did it in the 90s, also an excellent version.

Off topic just a bit ... but does anyone think of the Cars as a 70s band? I don't, to me they're (early) eighties.
