    There are a whole bunch of great Cars songs.
    I'd go with Drive as my favorite.

    Dangerous Type was my favorite of his Cars songs.
    Some solid solo stuff too.

    RIP.

    What a shame. The Cars are great, and as Typefitter mentioned, he produced quite a bit of great power pop and rock.

    His solo career wasn't bad either. "Emotion In Motion" was a bigger hit, but this song is a lot better.

    “Hello Again” also is a good song.

    Cars were a hit machine with Ocasek mixing pop aimed directly at teens as well as stuff that went deeper. Not my favorite song, but my favorite lyric of theirs was from “all I can do.”

    “When I was crazy/i thought you were great.” Perfectly sums up bad relationships that could have been better.
