Human League - Dare (1981)

The Human League - A&M Records (1981)

   UUUUgh..........You're kidding right ?    Nope !   I have always been a fan of this 80's rigid and cold electronic album...yes that same album that brought you that massive dance hit  "Dont You Want Me" .  Fan or not, there is little room to really argue that DARE was one of the most influential electronic pop albums of all time and in many ways The Human League were one of the more innovative bands of the 80's....an era that produced a lot of garbage music but also some get gems....one of which is in review.   Outside of "Dont You Want me" is where this album really shines and is actually filled with lots of emotion, electronic warmth and lots of post-punk rock influences.  100% art rock of a different form.
