I don't think I've heard this before, either, although it sounds like a lot of things I've heard. I do remember the Hooters' existence. I know AOR/mainstream rock playlists from the late 80s like the back of my hand but this was probably a few years too ealry.

This is between 'Whip It' and 'Be Near Me', and I went with the latter because not only is it ABC's best single but it's underrated as fuck.

"Send Me An Angel"

I listen to ABC's third album quite a lot, so Be Near Me but it could have been Flock Of Seagulls quite easily.

Aw, the best of The Fixx is really quite fun.

THE FIXX song is the opposite of bad.
Also loved it in House of the Devil:

Weird out of context as this scene happens in between tense moments in the movie.

Wtf is that “send me an angel” song. First time hearing and it sounds subpar next to the other gems in here.

"Send Me an Angel" is a very deserving second place finish on here:
