Can I be cheesy for once and say 'Drive'? I guess I can because I just did.

Candy-O
Growing up I had a double cassette of their first two albums (their eponymous debut album on side 1, and Candy-O on side 2), and there is not one weak track on either of them.
[Note for the young'uns: Before mp3s, AACs, and AIFFs, and before CDs, people would buy music on cassettes containing spools of thin magnetic tape.]

I'll second "Just What I Needed". That guitar solo is one of the handful of tunes that's almost always playing in my head.

Not really familiar with any Cars. "Just What I Needed" is the only one of theirs I can think of, but I do like it.

The Deftones version is also pretty exceptional.

Re: 5/23/15 The Cars
I love the licks in My Best Friend's Girl, and of course Just What I Needed and You Might Think are great too, but the first song I ever learned to play on a guitar, in 1984, was Magic, so I gotta go with that.

Re: 5/23/15 The Cars
I was a fan of The Cars from the first time I heard them. It was another private guilty pleasure of mine in my circle of classic rockers. My friend, brother and myself were learning a lot of southern rock to play at the time. I really liked a lot of "new wave" music. It was clever, fresh and sonically good. But I had my one friend that was a purist to classic rock and all the new stuff sucked to him. I remember distinctly that we were learning and getting tight on Mountain's Nantucket Slay Ride at the time. There was no time for the new wave nonsense with my band. So I listened with my girlfriend, whom by the way liked new wave music. So I rocked classic and fucked to new wave.
Anyway, back to the cars. Moving in Stereo is still a memory yanker for me. Who can ever forget the exotic beautiful Phoebe Cates and her gorgeous breasts in Fast Times at Ridgemont High? What song was playing at the time those wonderful breasts made their first appearance?........Moving in Stereo!
...oh, and I think it was the first time there was ever a scene with a guy spanking his monkey.
