overplayed Cars is still a great song.  fantastic LP opening track and automobile-themed.  I think they bridged the rock and new wave sounds nicely and deserve some credit for that.

I liked the Wings tune. 

I think I prefer Head East's version of Since You've Been Gone to Dio-Free Wainbow, and I know I prefer Dance this Mess Around as a cut from the B-52s debut.  that's just one of the best pop songs ever!
