The Human League I've got a terrible, very serious existential (if not metaphysical) problem.
I don't know if i like the Human League or not. I've heard several of their albums & i just can't know if i dig or hate this band... 
What do u think? | |

If you are a dedicated New Wave or Synth-Pop fan, then it would be a crime to not like that great band from Sheffield.  NEW WAVE FOREVER: SLAVE TO THE WAVE FROM THE CRADLE TO THE GRAVE. | |

Don't like The Human League.....LOVE THEM! 
Always cool "We may deify or demonize them but not ignore them. And we call them genius, because they are the people who change the world." |

They are a singles band. None of their albums fully hold up on their own. I think it was more on style than on substance. IMO, the singers are pretty flat and the lead isn't that great of a vocalist. In concert they are pretty terrible. Christian Zombie Vampires | |

Possibly that's my problem: great singles, but not that good albums | |

The best electro-pop band of the early 80's. Dare is a masterpiece and Don't you want me and Keep feelin' fascination are timeless songs...The rest of their career is blah, tough
My choice? I would purchase Dare and a compilation...  | |

i adore the Human League.
Yeah, they are bad.... but in a good way. Dare and Hysteria are both albums that I played the shit out of back in the day, along with the Fascination EP. * * *

I love the Ware/Marsh/Oakey first incarnation of the band.
The CD reissues have all the non-album singles on them too 
This one sometimes gets a spin too - it's kind of a dub version of Dare.

"Travelogue" is another favorite of mine.... "The Touchables" might be my favorite Human League track. * * *

"Don't You Want Me Baby", "Fascination", "Mirror Man" and The Jam & Lewis produced "I Want Your Loving" are my favorites. | |
