While we're looking for you to share your choices for our upcoming 893 Countdown of the best debut albums of all time, we're gonna shift this week on Teenage Kicks to second albums. This week on Teenage Kicks, two hours of artists who avoided the so-called "sophomore curse," and delivered stronger second albums than their debuts — Elvis Costello, Prince, Blondie, Beastie Boys, Hole, New Order, Nirvana, Pavement, PIXIES, Radiohead, R.E.M. and many more. These are albums that expanded or focused the sound, and showed some kind of growth in the journey from A to B. Avoiding the sophomore slump — this week on Teenage Kicks
