There are still many easy cuts left, but I will be the first to attack the first album. I always considered Don’t Cha Stop to be the weakest tune on it.

I am the one - to get rid of "I'm Not The One".

This song somehow reminds me of Rita Coolidge's "We're All Alone". This is very strange for a Cars song, but not all bad, because as sappy love songs go, the Rita Coolidge song isn't a bad one.

I apologize for the screwup above. Maybe I was subconciously protecting the 1st album, which is my all-time favorite.
