Ehhh.... almost all! Don't get me wrong, it's a great album, and side two is awesome (especially the "Moving in Stereo" / "All Mixed Up" end); but side one has two fillers ("I'm in Touch With Your World" and "Don't Cha Stop") which are fine, but nobody plays on the radio. Again, I'm not putting the album down; that's seven songs which are great.

Funny story about the Cars, my buddy and I cruised out to California back in, I believe it was 78, we ended up staying at a Hotel in Santa Monica right across from the Civic Center. We saw a bunch of ads and info "The Cars" and I remember asking some young skater punk what it was all about, and he said he thought it was a concert. We didn't think much of it because who would name a band the cars. That night there was so much noise coming from across the street as we watched people leaving from the concert, the cars songs were playing on the radio, and everyone was talking about them as we cruised back to Arizona... the Band went right to the top of the charts.

The summer before starting 7th grade, we went to Tennessee for a family reunion. My cousin Tommy had a Cars t-shirt that I "borrowed" and brought back to Kansas with me. He didn't know what happened to that t-shirt until right before Christmas last year; he just thought he'd lost it! 🤣 I STILL LOVE THE CARS!!! Thanks for sharing Jamel! ~ APRIL LIPKE
