The Cars - The Cars

With all due respect to Blondie and The Talking Heads, The Cars are the best new wave band ever (record sales will bear this out too). The group's self-named debut album came out in the summer of 1978 and is basically their greatest-hits record: "Just What I Needed" (number 27), "My Best Friend's Girl" (number 35), and "Good Times Roll" (number 41). The Cars stayed on the charts for over two and a half years, delaying the release of the group's second album, Candy-O by almost a year. Too bad no one buys albums any more, The Cars had some of the best cover art ever.
