40 years ago since Dare
Human League released their album Dare 40 years ago today. There are lots of hits that you probably remember on this album. I remember dancing to The Sound of the Crowd at a discotheque on a boat from England to Sweden when I was 15 years old. Love Action is another hit that I still know the words of the rap part of. But the most famous song was probably Don’t You Want Me.
