From 1978 comes the debut self titled album by the American new wave rock band, The Cars on Elektra 6E-135.  Almost a greatest hits album, this record is an all time rock classic, with songs like Good Times Roll, My Best Friends Girl, Just What I Needed and my pick from this album I'm in Touch With Your World:

The follow up to their smash hit debut album is Candy - O, released in 1979, proved the band was not a one album wonder with many solid songs on this album as well.  The cover art, done by famous pin up artist Alberto Vargas makes a very cool 50's look.  Here is the title track:

 Panorama, The Cars third studio album, was a distinct change in musical style from their first two albums. With less catchy pop like tunes, this album is darker and more experimental.  Despite being a less commercially successful album, the song Touch and Go became their highest charting hit to date.  Released in 1980 on Elektra X5E-514, here is Up and Down:

Heartbeat City, the 1984 release by The Cars, became their most successful album to date, with five top 40 hits and two top 10 hits with Drive and You Might Think.
It's Not The Night is my pick from this album:
