Representing the art rock edge of The Cars' 1978 debut, "Bye Bye Love" and "Moving In Stereo" created an unforgettable mood. From the driving beat of the former to the hypnotic, synth-laden rhythm of the latter (famously used in film), these tracks remain prime examples of innovative new wave experimentation.
