If you grew up during the 1980s, watched Mtv or listened to pop music on the radio, you probably heard ABC’s “Be Near Me,” (listen on You Tube, audio only) which is a very good song.
However, if you didn’t bother to purchase their album, “How To Be A … Zillionaire,” like I did (read more about that album on Wikipedia here), you’re probably unaware of some of the other very good songs from that album (because I don’t recall the band ever releasing these other songs to the radio back then).
Later in the decade, ABC released “When Smokey Sings” to the radio (listen on You Tube).
Some of my favorite songs from the “Zillionaire” album that didn’t make it to the radio (so far as I can recall) include…
By ABC –
Fifteen Story Halo – listen on You Tube (audio only)
So Hip It Hurts – listen on You Tube (audio only)
15 Storey Halo – listen on You Tube (audio only)
Tower of London – listen on You Tube (audio only)
