Fabian
Explanation:
Myślę że chodzi tu o zwrot w rodzaju 'ci wszyscy Niemenowie' jako określenie pewnego typu wykonawcy. A sam Fabian to:
"Fabian
b. 6 February 1943, Philadelphia, USA. Fabiano Forte Bonaparte, almost despite himself, was among the more endurable products of the late '50s when the North American charts were infested with a turnover of vapid boys-next-door — all hair spray, doe eyes and coy half-smiles — groomed for fleeting stardom. Fabian was ‘discovered’ by two local talent scouts, Peter De Angelis and Bob Marucci, in Frankie Avalon's Teen And Twenty youth club in 1957. Enthralled by the youth's good looks, the pair shortened his name and contracted him to their Chancellor Records where a huge budget was allocated to project him as a tamed Elvis Presley. Accompanied by the Four Dates, Fabian's first two singles — "I'm In Love" and "Lilly Lou" — were only regional hits but a string of television performances on Dick Clark's nationally-broadcast American Bandstand plus a coast-to-coast tour had the desired effect on female teenagers, and Fabian found himself suddenly in Billboard's Top 40 with "I'm A Man," composed by the top New York songwriting team, Doc Pomus/Mort Shuman who also delivered more lucrative hits in "Turn Me Loose" and "Hound Dog Man," the main theme from Fabian's silver screen debut of the same name.
More substantial movie roles came Fabian's way after his recording career peaked with 1959's million-selling "Tiger" and HOLD THAT TIGER. As well as the predictable teenpics with their vacuous story-lines and mimed musical sequences, he coped surprisingly well as John Wayne's sidekick in 1960's North To Alaska and with Bing Crosby and Tuesday Weld in High Time. Fabian's decline was as rapid as his launch after Congress pinpointed him as an instance of one of the exploited puppets in the payola scandal. Questioned at the time, Fabian made matters worse by outlining the considerable electronic doctoring necessary to improve his voice on record. 1960 brought his first serious miss in "About This Thing Called Love" and an irredeemable downward spiral mitigated by 1962's "Kissin' And Twistin'" and other small hits. Nevertheless, he could be spotted in in films like the 1962 war epic The Longest Day but more commensurate with his talent were such as Fireball 500 (a 1966 hot-rod epic with his old friend Frankie Avalon) and 1965's Ride The Wild Surf.

Jak widać Fabian był takim okiełznanym Elvisem - młodym, śpiewającym w modnych rytmach, ale słodkim, grzecznym, mającym nie budzić kontrowersji

The Fabians, o którym wspomniała Bartek to kapela punk rockowa z początku lat 80. - dlatego wspomniałem, że to chyba nie ta epoka.
Te lata wynikają wprost z cytatu Bartka: \"were formed (...) 20 years ago\", a także z tego cytatu:
\"I was in a lot of punk bands in New York. The first band was the FABIANS...we played Max\'s Kansas City and CBGBs in the early 80.\"

Ale z drugiej strony chyba faktycznie istniał na początku lat 60. zespół the Fabians, przypuszczalnie żeński chórek:
\"I liked the idea of people accompanying themselves. Blues musicians, and beyond that classic rhythm and blues musicians, all do play their own instruments. They all do. Even the ones that get to a point that the public doesn\'t realize that. A guy like Al Green, who goes out and just sings now, started with a guitar around his neck. I had a real respect for people who could sing and play. Jerry Lee Lewis was more impressive to me than the Fabians and those kinda cats.\"

No i jest jeszcze to:
\"So was it tough trying to play Rock & Roll back in the 50s when all the Pat Boones and the Fabians and all those pretty boys started coming out and rock & roll was shunned and started to fade out? \"

W ostatnim cytacie warto zwrócić uwagę na formę \'the Pat Boones\'. Pat Boone był jeden, a jego najsłynniejszym przebojem był \"Speedy Gonzales\" :-). Należy to więc rozumieć jako: \"Wszystkie te Paty Boone i Fabiany oraz wszyscy ci ładni chłopcy...\"
