The Cars were huge in the late '70s and early '80s, because nearly every tune they released sounded like a potential hit. Combining punk, disco, power pop, glam, and a touch of the avant-garde, the Boston band's wiry New Wave helped define an era. These overlooked album cuts find them at their oddball best, from the punk rush of their 1978 debut to the lush synth-pop of 1984's Heartbeat City.
