The Cars was a successful debut album, containing A list of songs that played like a new wave best-of. Candy-O, the follow-up, sold even more, despite not all the songs being up to the same level as the debut. They still managed to turn out a solid second record, something few new wave and punk bands were able to do.

2112 proved to be the album that Rush needed to save their contract with Mercury Records. The follow-up, A Farewell to Kings, was even more ambitious. Challenging themselves in different ways and fully integrated synthesizers into their sound, the Canadian trio produced one of their most complex, but overlooked, albums.

After releasing their best album, 1973's Brain Salad Surgery, Emerson, Lake and Palmer embarked on a world tour, followed by a much-needed break. When they returned they did so with the double album Works Volume 1, featuring one side each of solo material and one side as a band. To say it was spotty is an understatement, and more than anything highlighted a group that was becoming tired of working together.

"Rock Lobster" quickly became a song that filled dancefloors in the late 1970s and, though it only sold moderately well at the time, The B-52's has become one of the top new wave albums in everyone's collection. Pressured to get something out fast, the Athens, Georgia band quickly recorded Wild Planet and released it in 1980. Similar in sound to the first, it outsold the debut. Unfortunately, it was more of the same, with a lot of great songs but with many of the album tracks lacking.

After Public Image Ltd's second album Metal Box (known as Second Edition in the United States,) bass player Jah Wobble left. John Lydon and Keith Levene continued on, with drummer Martin Atkins, for the extremely experimental The Flowers of Romance. Despite being as non-commercial as possible, it was still a modest hit in the UK and a few other places around the world. It would also be the last album featuring the original band members.

Dio's first two albums, Holy Diver and The Last in Line, were hard rock classics. So, why change things up? If anything, Sacred Heart was a bit poppier, but largely it sounded like the first two, which was both a blessing and a curse. It would be the last album with Vivian Campbell on guitar, signaling that the band's sound would change a bit for the following record, but not radically.

After a critical success with Murmur, R.E.M. again teamed with producers Mitch Easter and Don Dixon for their sophomore effort, Reckoning. In some ways it was more of the same, but a slightly rawer, rocking sound became evident as well.
