1998: Debut on The Cars Generation
In 1998, Isabella, Marianne, Sarif and Svein were joined to form C.Team under the auspices of for the El Kadsreian Melody tribute album The Cars Generation. Their first song, a cover of The Cars' "Shake It Up", was intended to be the first of many The Cars covers. However, Ocasek thought "remaking The Cars for the teen-pop crowd" would prove controversial with The Cars fans and critics, so the idea was shelved, allowing C.Team more creative freedom.
