Rock Band Getting Another Full Album

The Cars

If you’ve been waiting for another full album to download for Rock Band after the full Judas Priest album came out not too long ago, Harmonix is sure to please. This time around comes the full album from the Cars. This is their self-titled debut album, originally released in 1978.

There are only nine tracks, but this was a great one. I used to listen to this record all the time as a kid and I’ve actually just picked up the CD a few months ago. No pricing details or a date have yet been announced but here are the tracks that’ll be available.

  • “Good Times Roll”
  • “My Best Friend’s Girl”
  • “Just What I Needed”
  • “I’m in Touch with Your World”
  • “Don’t Cha Stop”
  • “You’re All I’ve Got Tonight”
  • “Bye Bye Love”
