Cars Pick

This is the companion piece to The Cars Family pick. No repeats between the two. I meant to post this sooner, but it completely slipped my mind. Luckily someone was looking the earlier pick and asked where this one was. I had to admit, I forgot all about it. This is mostly classic Cars tracks, one New Cars track (I saw them live, too and while it wasn't the Cars, it certainly was good. Love Todd Rundgren, too) and the rest is solo Ric Ocasek. More of that in the companion comp. There is also another Cars connection, but it doesn't have any songs by The Cars and it was just a few days ago. BTW, how do you like the chromed letters in the cover? Yea, that was me trying some new technique in CorelDraw.

The Cars Family Pick

I first made my favorite pick of the Cars compilation, Then realizing that I had several songs that I just couldn't fit on that compilation and that I hadn't used any tracks from the individual Cars members (other than Ric Ocasek) I decided to make this family pick. This time I put in tracks from each of the member. I tried not to repeat anything from my first comp. If you want me to post that one, I'd be happy to, just ask in the comments. The first time I heard the Cars, I was in my car, a Datsun B-210. Very used, but a pretty decent new stereo system and a local radio station had just gotten the first Cars album and were playing stuff off it. I immediately liked several of the tracks (none of which are on this pick) including Moving In Stereo which sounded great on my stereo. My car not so great, but the speakers, pretty great. Loved the band since that first time.
