A listen to any of the Cars' hits collections is enough to remind you that they were one excellent band, maybe the best pop/rock/new wave group of the '80s. Warner Music Canada's The Essentials nearly lives up to its title. The 12 tracks included are definitely essential, with hits like "Magic," "Drive," "You Might Think," "Tonight She Comes," radio staples like "My Best Friend's Girl" and " Just What I Needed," as well as great album tracks like "Touch and Go," "Shake It Up," and "Candy-O." In fact, the inclusion of "Candy-O" makes this collection stand out compared to 1985's Greatest Hits and 2002's Complete Greatest Hits, since neither has the song. The only problem is that 12 tracks aren't enough to round up all the Cars' essentials, since vital songs like "You're All I've Got Tonight," "Dangerous Type," and "Hello Again" are missing. So now that it's been established that there's no perfect single-disc Cars collection on the market, now what? If you want to get all of their best songs, take the hit on your wallet and buy the double-disc Just What I Needed: The Cars Anthology. Otherwise this collection or either of the other two will probably be good enough to satisfy the curious and casual.
