damosuzuki	The blonde vocalist was my first 'pop-star' crush. To this day 1) I still don't know what her name is and 2) she still kinda' gets my motor running.

alphastreet	Love, love, LOVE this song and beat! It's fun playing it back to back with Madonna's first album. And yeah the lyrics are kind of misogynistic. Fascination is also great. I have the Human League record, I'm pretty sure I do.

No you're not, if it makes you feel better, I remember when this video used to play on MTV when I was still a kid though I wasn't born yet when it came out. I definitely remembered hearing it all the time. biggrin

Fascination was ok, but Dont You Want Me Baby was the shit. It makes me wonder if the lyrics were rewritten in this generation's point of view it would go "You were working as a stripper in a coctail bar, when I met you...."

Her name is Suzanne Sully, I saw them live at a festival a couple of years ago & she's barely aged a day... in fact I'll be seeing them in July as I've won tickets to a festival that they are headlining in their home county of Yorkshire cool

Dare! was and still is THE definite Human League album. Along with Don't You Want Me, The Sound Of The Crowd is one of best tracks in electronic music history, never mind synth-pop.
