http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.59156&variant=artist-playlists&rws=%2Fabc%2Fplaylists.rssDuring the first half of the '80s, ABC's catchy, synth-driven Dance Pop scored a number of chart hits around the world, although the band's popularity was strongest in their native Britain. Frontman Martin Fry's pin-up looks lent him to glossy teen mags and MTV audiences ready to devour the next big thing. That, coupled with ABC's R&B-influenced Synth Pop (featuring strong hooks and memorable choruses) resulted in a one-two combination that knocked audiences out. For a while, anyway. ABC's popularity waned with the passing of the decade. - Linda RyanNew Waveen720Wed, 2 Dec 2009 04:52:55 -0800 http://static.realone.com/rotw/images/logo_rhapsody_113x22.gif http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.59156&variant=artist-playlists&rws=%2Fabc%2Fplaylists.rss During the first half of the '80s, ABC's catchy, synth-driven Dance Pop scored a number of chart hits around the world, although the band's popularity was strongest in their native Britain.
