Artist: The Cars
Album: Heartbeat City
Year: 1984
The first album of the eighties to grace us, Heartbeat City is a testament to everything the eighties had to offer. Most of the album is humorous, tongue-in-cheek but catchy pop with an out of this world mindset and a somewhat goofy approach to songwriting. However, Ocasek and company have more to offer than eighties goof balling; single "Drive" is a testament to the power that's also lurking behind their song craft. Probably the funnest album currently in my line-up, I highly recommend at least "Drive".

Tomorrow, Adam's giving me a huge break by letting me add an absolutely crucial album to my library: the ridiculously wonderful "Sunsets And Car Crashes" by The Spill Canvas. Return here tomorrow for some immense, deserved gushing.
For Friday: The Kooks "Konk"
