Complete Greatest Hits - Cars

| | Comments (0)

This is the pinnacle of "marketing the same songs". I remember when Greatest Hits albums were it - you put one out and you were done. Now, there's repackaging, and new editions, updated remasters, and the phrase "Complete Greatest Hits" just strikes me as odd. I mean doesn't the concept of "Greatest Hits" mean that all of your good stuff is there? So why would songs on a "Complete Greatest Hits" as opposed to just "Greatst Hits" be as good? If those songs were as good as the original batch, wouldn't they have been on the first edition? This seems like marketing twaddle to me.

Anyway, the songs on here are fine. The Cars are one of those groups where I never really bought their material, since you heard almost all of it on the radio a zillion times anyway. But when I was going through and looking for some bands who I liked from the past, and had no material on CD at all from, I hit on this. There's just so many here I know, it's pointless in naming individual tracks.

Except this. Moving in Stereo. Phoebe Cates. One of the greatest cinematic scenes ever. ;)
