Show Notes
When The Human League reconfigured after their first two albums, the band would redefine the synth-pop genre with their third album, Dare. This late 1981 critically acclaimed release became a number one album and contained four successful singles, including the monster hit, "Don't You Want Me".
This episode tells the story of the band from their late 70's formation in Sheffield through the album, Dare, and discusses the music of the album.
