Human League - Dare

[ODH]

The Human League released their landmark Dare album 30 years ago (actually October 1981).  Just ten years earlier The Doors released LA Woman (July '71).

In those 10 brief years we saw;

Psychadelia - Prog - Glam - Disco - Punk - Ska - synth-pop. 

Not to mention the beginings of Hip Hop in New York.

In the last ten years I think the biggest development in music is that Simon Cowell is no longer a judge on the X Factor.

I still listen to this album regularly.

cant believe its thirty years old, ouch.

forget about simon cowel and x factor.

this year alone has produced some of the finest music ever.

albums this year by pj harvey, radiohead and kate bush  (in fact too many great albums this year to mention) that will be revered in the years to come,imho  music just keeps getting better every year, you wont find it very often on the xfactor tho.

I agree completely, I was just amazed at how much change there was in ten years.  I went from 6 to 16 and it seemed like half a lifetime then. The music ten years ago doesn't seem much different to now.

Must try that Kate Bush album, though...

I was workin as a waitress in a cocktail bar,that much is true.
