Album of the Day

Emerging from Boston in the late 1970s, The Cars quickly became one of America's leading exponents of New Wave, with such Top Ten hits as "Shake It Up," "You Might Think," "Drive" and "Tonight She Comes." All of those and 14 more tracks can be heard on MOVING IN STEREO: THE BEST OF THE CARS, which was compiled by the band members and arrived in stores last month. Along with familiar favorites, the set incorporates a few bonuses, including a rare single of "I'm Not The One," a live version of "Everything You Say," and a new mix of "Sad Song," from the group's 2011 album, MOVE LIKE THIS. Brilliantly remastered (under Ric Ocasek's supervision), MOVING IN STEREO is a terrific road map of The Cars' musical journey.
