Then of course there was Abba, who not only had songs, but were also considered by those in the know as the founders of the "New Wave Groups with Palindrome Band Names" genre (a genre that I'm not sure we've explored fully enough here at NWO). Their influence on the punky/new wave Oliva Newton John/ELO floor-stomper "Xanadu" is obvious, as is their influence on her darker, other Xanadu-era single, "Magic", which no doubt underscores Grunch's assertions above.

Good point about ABBA. Without them, Oxo and Stephen "Tin Nit" Nehpets wouldn't have been possible.
