The Cars - "Candy-O" - Did The Cars avoid the sophomore slump better than anyone?

from Classic Rocktails · host classicrocktails

Did The Cars avoid the sophomore slump better than anyone? This week on Classic Rocktails, we take Candy-O for a spin — the sleek, strange, hook-packed follow-up that proved The Cars weren’t just new-wave hitmakers. From “Let’s Go” to “It’s All I Can Do” to “Dangerous Type,” The Cars doubled-down on chrome-plated cool, icy attitude, and massive pop instincts. Was Candy-O a step down from the debut, or the moment The Cars became even more interesting? #TheCars #CandyO #ClassicRocktails #ClassicRock #NewWave #RockPodcast #MusicPodcast #RicOcasek #BenjaminOrr #ElliotEaston #1979Music #AlbumReview
