    ABC are an influential New Romantic / Synth Pop / New Wave band from Sheffield, UK. They are most famous for their debut album, The Lexicon Of Love, which was very highly acclaimed and a commercial smash. Their later albums were not so well received, and they split up in the early 1990s. But they made a comeback soon enough, and from then on have had a lucrative career on the 80s revival circuit.
