If I am totally honest Erimus they are probably better than 70% of the bands you post but thats doesnt matter its what you like. Saw ABC a few times outstanding.

ABC were great. Lexicon Of Love is an absolute classic LP.

Erimus, saw a show a few years back, Martin Fry and Tony Hadley what great vocalists! Did a few songs each then some duets. Great night

Nosmo-king, did Martin Fry take a break for a while due to ill health?
Early to mid 80's was a good decade for music, 2nd to the 70's mind

Yes I am sure he did. Went quiet for a few years. Lexicon of Love a great album. He had Hodgkin’s lymphoma- was kept quiet as much as you could do

Love a bit of ABC. the 80's was quite an era for music. Some magnificent pop songs and incredible Hair metal!

Martin Fry had throat cancer, luckily he recovered from it. Saw them a few years ago in Norwich, they ran out of songs to play, so they went round again. Good gig mind.

This being one of the pop bangers from the era!

All of my heart is a great song. I bought my wife Robbie Williams tickets at Milton Keynes Bowl many years ago when we lived down south. I didn’t want to go but it was an anniversary present so I went reluctantly. Happy to find ABC and Toploader were supporting.

Not a hugely popular band, but I liked them and this is a great song. I later worked with one of the band members and am still mates with him now.

All of my heart is a flawless track one of my absolute favourite tunes. The 80s was a peculiar era early 80s was brilliant with some great innovative music with synth bands but by 86 the charts changed to load of dreadful formulaic crap from the likes of stock aitkin waterman label

A couple of years ago I went to see CC at the Cavern Club. Comedy and great pop songs in equal amounts.

All of my Heart was one of my wife's favourite songs. Played it for her at her funeral. Brilliant song. She loved ABC.

Mate ran a "Back to work, have you got a pen" sort of government initiative. One of the band members was on it, can't work out why they aren't on the Rewind Festival scam.
