Road trips in Australia, full bore on an open highway, this whole album blazing as I whip the car around corners and pass trucks like I'm a low flying plane. "Do or die" as I'm heading for the next fuel stop, knowing I'll make it with fumes in the tank. Life was had day by day, fully expecting to get nuked as the Cold War suddenly became hot. Great memories. I miss the 80's so much.
18/19 years old in a nightclub after the customary Saturday night pub crawl and dancing to The Sound of the Crowd, urging people to get around town, knowing we were in that town was a little surreal
My dad bought a vertical playing Mitsubishi record player, the amp and speakers were amazing. I will never forgot playing Human League 'Dare' and 'Love and Dancing'. My dad would go away for two weeks on the oil rig and I had the house all to myself. I was much happier then.
Life was certainly easier then- we could escape into our own world without the need for social media which quite frankly makes humans less social than ever.
I grew up as a teenager listening to this wonderful album, with Gary numans replica this is one of my favourite albums too,on cd I'm still in possession of it
This album is totally changed my life. I was 14, played bass in a young local rock group. On a day the radio played the Love Action. It was something new, unique. I stored their name in my memory. A few months later the radio played Don't you want me... I was in shock. It was completely new sound, a new sonic vision. I left my group next day and I switched to keyboards. Finally i worked in the music industry for 20 years, as session musician, composer, arranger, producer and sound engineer on 120 albums, includes numerous platinums and golds. Its all thanks to this album.
I was 14 too and this album changed me too, but in a different way. I rushed with my motorbike to buy this LP and when i parked i touched with my leg a hot exhaust and burned my leg. I still have a scar. Oh yeah, and i still know all lyrics by heart!:)
The power of music is incredible ! Your story is unusual and really Interesting ! I personnaly discovered Don't you want me at 12 years old. I wasn't prepared for such emotions. This song introduced me to english music and all the famous band wich came after ! I've never regreted it ! A 50 old year frenchman ;)
This classic and Sons and fascination/ sister feelings call were played to death as a 13 year old growing up in liverpool,,what an absolute brilliant time it was being a teenager in the 80s .. compare it to the absolute misery of today
This is THE perfect Pop record! Before Pop was a rude word. Every Track is great and some are even greater. Once in a lifetime for the band and they never even got near to it afterwards..although Hysteria is better than everybody says but how can you follow Dare! ? Impossible 😊
The best album ever for a Teenager finding his way in which was once a wonderful world...that ws the journey....not a couple of clicks and you know it all .
The 80s were a phenomenal time. Dare, Vienna, Non Stop Erotic Cabaret, Speak and Spell, Visage, Specials, Replicas, Peter Gabriels 'Melt' and 'So', U2's 'War', Eliminator, Avalon, Pretenders, Tracey Chapman, Born in the USA, Thriller. And they're just the ones that spring to mind. Never has pop music gone in so many fantastically different directions simultaneously.

Great ..pop music…here we go. Does anyone here like the Human League? Still can’t out of my head, Rik doing his dance to Things That Dreams Are Made Of before the Pigs come in and smash up the record player 😂😂😂😂
... thank the Heroes of my Youth ... and thank You for grounding the DARE! Club ... whe still love it since 17 Years ... incridebele it works every month ... 😎
I was 14 when I bought this album and it truly was my favourite album ( and still is !!) in my collection. I've still got it , and will never get rid of it! A master piece 😊
@@jennystewart2461 sadly not he just had good taste in music that's all these are the sorts of music I listened to thanks to my dad an still to this day enjoy his taste in music in my eyes he was a genius 😉
2nd favourite album of 1981 behind Kraftwerk's Computerworld' album. Favourite tracks ' Sound of the Crowd'( in my top 20 singles of all time), ' Love Action' & 'Seconds'. Wanted to see The League in December '81 at Stafford Bingley Hall. But the snowy weather was that bad, I didn't get there.
Best synthesiser album ever! I heard it when I was 11 over and over again in a cassette...until I damaged it At 50's I still feel the same shiver when I listen to it Thank you guys
Days of my youth......coming home from school, with home work to do....mum and dad came home, Brookside......yes the theme tunes to our lives, that's what music is, a snapshot in our lives..
Haha I just had all my grandkids dancing and laughing to “The sound of the crowd.” Giggling and jiggling. So damned cute. Thanks for the memories while we make new ones.
57 year old bloke goes to the bonus arena hull ‘yeah love to see human league ,know a few of there songs think I bought an album once” . New every song from dare word for word in my day you put a LP on and listened and learnt every word even made some up, but I had forgotten this was such good electronics and so different . Any way went to hull on Monday gone now I’m trying to get tickets for Nottingham in a weeks time it was soooooooooo good
I remember listening to the tape of this album in 1981 , I did not know what I was listening to but it had a magic effect on me that time ..even in 2021 ,, These are things....
masterpiece of electronic sound. I remember of some Bowie's interview during a summer festival in Sheffield back in 70ies when he stated about Human League that he was watching the future of electronic music. He was right, as usual. Their best album.
In the 70's it would have been the original Human League with Phil Oakey, Martyn Ware and Ian-Craig Marsh. The later went there separate ways and firmed Heaven 17, whilst Phil retained the Human League name.
On Sunday nights, our local FM station used to play a new album straight through, commercial free. I was lucky enough to capture this one on a cassette tape that I listened to many, many times over the years.
Me acaba de llegar la información de que Susan Ann Sulley cumplió 60 años, muchas felicidades y gracias por su tremenda contribución a la música pop y techno, new wave y todos los géneros que abarca Human League. felicidades y larga vida de un fan muy fan de México.
nádherný a přesný (ohledně přínosu) komentář, taktéž přeji Susan vše nej, a mohu jen poděkovat za spoustu krásných emocí, kterými nás svým zpěvem obdařila, ... miluji obě 🙂
A ground breaking record in so so many ways that stands the test of time. Owes as much to the production genius of the late Martin Rushant as the songs themselves
I taped Seconds off the radio in 1981. First song I ever heard from Human League and still my favorite. I always assumed it was about Hinkley shooting John Lennon and was frankly a bit disappointed when I found out it was actually about Kennedy.
Same!!! was 18 and just moved into a college dorm. Played this to death on my wee cassette player thingey. How cool. Love hearing again. What i'd give to be back there again and that age.
@@spacealienjesus709 so many dying before their time but life is a matter of perspective. A damsel fly only lives a few hours but with humans we have the ability to look forward and back. Both a curse and blessing
The whole album is great, spectacular and totally unique. But "Darkness" is the best track for Me. This song didn't get old, it has got a perfect clubbing sound.
Up until a couple of years ago, I hadn't listened to this album in about 35 years. To my great surprise, my favourite tracks, along with Love Action were 2 I'd almost completely forgotten about; the aforementioned Darkness and I am the law, which I think most retains the spirit of the original Human League.
@@pabloimireia Yes, you're right, Seconds is also an amazing track. Each song on "Dare" has got completely unique sound and atmopshere, just like previous two albums of Human League.

Amazing

Quite Possibly The Best Album i ever Bought...
56 Year old Sat in my Kitchen on a Friday listening to it
I was listening to this in 7th grade that was 1984
Tonight, I'm listening to it for the first time in many years: I had forgotten how extraordinarily good it is!
No doubt, one of the greatest albums ever made.
So sad that a lot of people only know the "don't you want me" tune. There are a few other tracks on here that are better IMO.
Only in the 90’s 😭🤙💯
This is THE perfect Pop record! Before Pop was a rude word. Every Track is great and some are even greater. Once in a lifetime for the band and they never even got near to it afterwards..although Hysteria is better than everybody says but how can you follow Dare! ? Impossible 😊
90`s.???@@antoniobotello4996
One of the best really
1981 soooooo long ago but i love this music over anything today
Que álbum tan bueno, gracias por compartir saludos desde Lima Perú.
This album is still one of the most important in my taste in music. to this day.
The best album ever for a Teenager finding his way in which was once a wonderful world...that ws the journey....not a couple of clicks and you know it all .

And they're just the ones that spring to mind. Never has pop music gone in so many fantastically different directions simultaneously.
I am always grateful that I was a teenager in the 80's, what a great decade to be a young person!
U2 - The Joshua Tree was another classic album for me!
Sorted out my playlist there. Forgot a few mind. Simple minds plus we had house music and decent hip hop
Do or die is a brilliant track ,takes me back to the early eighties when i was young .Still a fantastic album after forty years
I enjoy the music of The Human League...
Seriously.....one of the greatest albums ever!
Still boss even after 40 years
Come on
❤🎉
Very good memories with this album, was 17 I’m 60 next, still loving it ❤👍
yeah bud - get 62 in 2 months and don´t miss any SECONDS in the DISCOTEQUE!!!
Timeless, I think certain 80's music will never sound old x
Holy shit - Dare is already 40 years old. It should be in everyone's collection.

On vinyl. Great album.

Being a synth pop fan started with Visage, O.M.D. and Human League. I still love them ❤. And I love the sound of the Linn drum computer!!!!
This album is still awesome and sounds futuristic 40 years on!
There's no doubt about it!

Can't believe anyone can give this a thumbs down. Must be tone deaf. One of THE most iconic electronic albums.
They probably expected a Simon Cowell production.
Exactly, how DARE they.
Dare defined electronic pop as a genre
Exactly. 👍
Lol 😆
W'a'Fu... Great pick! I had this LP, but haven't heard this stuff in over 35 years.
Dig them a lot. So groovy...
Greetings from Brazil!
love this group ;D
Great Album
One of the greatest albums of the 80's. Innovative and leading in many ways. Love it.
Still got the original album i bought at 13 years old, never gets olde. What made this album so good was its raw sound.
I have this on cassette and used to play it in my car all the time. Missed their tour of Australia/ didn’t even know about it! 😢
Wow, real vinyl. Gotta love that sound.
2nd favourite album of 1981 behind Kraftwerk's Computerworld' album. Favourite tracks ' Sound of the Crowd'( in my top 20 singles of all time), ' Love Action' & 'Seconds'. Wanted to see The League in December '81 at Stafford Bingley Hall. But the snowy weather was that bad, I didn't get there.
Classic Alburn my fave was sound of the crowd
Brilliant album
I remember this song if i could travel i would London I've always wanted to go to since childhood ❤
Awesome album 😎🎶♥️
Best synthesiser album ever! I heard it when I was 11 over and over again in a cassette...until I damaged it
At 50's I still feel the same shiver when I listen to it
Thank you guys
A classic & timeless album with the late Martin Rushent at the helm.
Love The Human League Already From 15 Years..
brilliant
Still sounds fresh after 40+ years.Great music and production.
besides being electronic pioneers, this is simply amazing and brillant pop songwriting that stands the test of time.
Days of my youth......coming home from school, with home work to do....mum and dad came home, Brookside......yes the theme tunes to our lives, that's what music is, a snapshot in our lives..
And the threat of nuclear attack at any moment.
This one is on the playlist of my life
4 epic songs on this vinyl.
BELLISSIMO 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Quality, clarity sounds like it was recorded yesterday. iconic
Haha I just had all my grandkids dancing and laughing to “The sound of the crowd.” Giggling and jiggling.
So damned cute.
Thanks for the memories while we make new ones.

What a quality that will never fade away from 40 years ago!
Simply amazing !
Seen them a couple of times and going to see them again at Wembley arena, London, December 2021😁😁😁
Wow tingles just went up my spine.... Fantastic
Things that dreams are made of is a pop synth masterpiece .. going to see them December 2021..

He was right, as usual.
Their best album.
John Lydon a few months before Bowie had rated them as trendy hippies...
@@TiagoSliachticas lydon is mad with anyone who didn't get cheated as he and those mates did. Thank Malcolm for that non$en$e.
In the 70's it would have been the original Human League with Phil Oakey, Martyn Ware and Ian-Craig Marsh.
The later went there separate ways and firmed Heaven 17, whilst Phil retained the Human League name.
Not for me. Both Travelogue and Reproduction were better.
Huge credit to Martin Rushent who produced this particular album.
The 80s had alot of Great European bands 👌
I am a metalhead but this Is pure gold
A perfect album
