    I’d never seen this video before and am enjoying how much fun they seemed to have performing together.

    I think this song won an award in 1985. I can't remember. Fascinating song then, now, and forever!

    That one fascinated me from the start.It was mid spring of '83 first time i heard it.The keyboard riff is still a killer.It never fails to get me up and make me move.I still own the 7 inch single with that nice colorful photo sleeve.Also liked the 12 inch version with different intro.Maybe i'm wrong but if i remember well,It was kept off the top spot because of another great track at the moment.TRUE by The Spandau Ballet.That was an era full of creativity ,inspiration and fascination in the pop music scene!That 'Fascination!' EP was a great little collection of songs but unfortunately wasn't issued in Europe.Not even in their home country.I finally listened to it some years ago.'Love Action' maybe next time.Or even' One Man in my heart'?

    The Human league 1986 album crash is one of their best, almost all of the songs sounds like they could have been hits.

    Alongside Kraftwerk and OMD, The Human League were perhaps the most important pioneers of synth-pop. For me, their first 3 albums “Reproduction”, “Travelogue” and “Dare” belong to the musical world cultural heritage.
    Young people today may not understand how difficult the means of production were back then. No MIDI in the studio, samplers played no relevant role back then and the analog subtractive synthesizers predominantly used at the time were often not programmable.
    The Human League were one of the first bands to completely replace all instruments relevant to a band with synthesizers in a pop context.
    I like the band's early dystopian songs best... and of course Phil Oakey has one of the most charismatic voices in synth-pop. He's also a damn good lyricist.

    Maybe get Abbie to react to their song, Human, as it contains more soulful and higher register singing from Phil Oakey.

    Abs is not an 80’s girl. I was 12 when this came out and it was in line with the music of the day. Sort of like yaz and Depeche Mode and alphaville.

    Sigh! Wow! One of absolute favorite songs from that period. I was basically doing every move you were doing Dad. I could tell from your moving that you dig this song as much as I do. I was in college when this song was a hit and we used to have a drinking game to the claps that permeate the song. And if someone missed that last double clap with the two girls clapping over their heads then you had to do 2 Drinks! LOL! Must be tough to know how great a song this is and all the memories you probably have associated with it , then have your daughter pop-poo it. 🤣 Maybe you should have started her off with something like “Human” which has a more slow groove or maybe “The Lebanon” which has a harder edge. Well, interested to see what else you line up to have Abbie react to.

      Yeah she acted like a mannequin when the song was playing, like it was torture for her to sit through it. I think it's a catchy song but whatever floats your boat.

    LMAO the girl reacting is classic Gen Z . They're so used to hearing that autotune/voicebox crap where everyone sounds like a robot nowadays that hearing someone's actual voice throws her for a loop LOL. I'll be so glad when people stop using that crap to make so called music. There's a reason why the era of 2010+ is by far voted the worst era of music since pop music began in the 1950s

    One of my least favorite songs from one of my favorite bands. I understand her sentiment and she might like other League songs like Don’t You Want Me, Human, The Lebanon, Mirror Man, etc…my wife doesn’t like Philip Oakley’s voice either so think it’s polarizing…

    • @reactionextraction
      @reactionextraction  2 года назад

      Definitely polarizing vocals, but when it comes to Human league I can't help but love everything they have done 😎 Pure legends so I kinda take the corny songs with the great ones also 😎

    • @alexioverdo5225
      @alexioverdo5225 2 года назад

      Didn't like Phil's voice either in the beginning lol!At first i thought it was kinda raw, monotonous or even scary,non versatile and 'commanting'.But i soon did reconsider about him since i started getting fond of his style his peculiar but friendly and honest persona and became a big fan of the whole band.My wife unexpectedly loved him at once.One of my daughters just can't stand him at all!.We can't have everything i guess lol.
