The Cars Greatest Song: My Best Friend's Girl :--)
Posted: Tue Nov 28, 2006 2:49 pmAnother great Power Pop/New Wave era band to cut down to size, so to speak. This time around I wanted to make sure I got all the tunes, so I'm doing it by album released chronologically, and then some B-sides that were not on any LP. I hope I got them all this time, but I'm sure someone will point one out I forgot! Good grief, as Charlie Brown would say... All right then, take away, and please enjoy. [:D]
BTW, I love all the side chatter when we're discussing great/good albums and songs, so here's to djcraig, Panaorama, and plagiarism as we debate and cut The Cars to the ultimate best song (at least at this moment, seeing as Charlie Don't Surf is the [i]best[/i] Clash song!).
Oh, yeah, [b]The Rules[/b], in case everyone, or those who are new, don't know. Drop your least favorite song and put it clearly on top with anything your want to say about that song, and then relist what's left for the next person. Last song left is the [i]best[/i] song that we have indicated for right now at the NWO. Have FUN!
