S5E7a - New Wave, Part I: The Cars (Overrated)

This week, Fran & Babs talked about new wave and 80s music for so long that we've had to make this a two-parter... We've taken a bit of a different approach with this week's overrated pick...Babs was a fan of The Cars without knowing much of their back catalogue while Fran was less sure how he felt. Therefore, Babs took it upon herself to listen to all seven of The Cars' studio albums and come up with a ten-track playlist which represents their long career.... We will be back in Part II to discuss Babs' underrated pick - the legendary French band Indochine.  Check out the weird, Andy Warhol-directed video for Hello Again and take a look at how fit Benjamin Orr was. You can find the playlist for this episode on Spotify - it includes all songs from our playlists, plus bonus ones from other artists we've discussed during the episode.
