The Human League - Love Action (I Believe In Love) from ‘Multi Coloured Swap Shop’ 

Yo

Too right, this is timeless magic

All time

Me!!!!!👍

Me

I'd go back in a ❤ beat.

Same, we had the best music. Saying that, the people who were teenagers in the 60's would say they had the best music.

Yeah early synth cool sounds ❤

Absolutely brilliant

Best synt band that ever came out ever.never heard anything as good as them . They are like the marilyn monroe of bands

100%

Can't bring them back. But enjoy it's music.

Can't bring them back. But enjoy the music.

You said it all

They were, I was there in my teens dancing to this.

Proper dance round yer handbag moves in there m and s frocs haha..I would have been loads better 😃

Brunette fan here 😍😍

Me too. Those honkers bobbing up and down are hypnotizing.

Yep. No choreographed/ dance school shit.

better order a new multipack of socks then 🤣

1980s was the best decade! No doubt!

I miss the 80 s 😢

@@lauraalt7863 Don't we all . We were forty plus younger

Brilliant

Yes indeed

Agreed, 1981 was not quite ready for this stuff lol including me 🤫🤫🤫

Hey guys, what about his style? How did you guys receive his style, specially the hair? I was born in 80 and I'm a lover of the 80's and 90's :)

Pure simple music from the fantastic 80s !

I would argue that #GaryNuman got there first..

Sound espacial

Now it is officially 40 years old.

I agree!!!!!

As someone who started producing synth music in the 80s and never stopped I must say that this is mainly the result of modern, computer-based production tools: they impose a particular workflow and thus discourage the way music was composed in the 80s. If we all returned to composing music with a bare keyboard or guitar, or a band, music would still be as melodic as it was in the day.

@@scottmartin1973 that’s weird to think it’s 40 years old

Try the last 30 years.

Brilliant track BUT Sound of the Crowd is the best!!

@@anthonylaw5553 The Lebanon too 😎👍

i totally agree, cheers

BRILLIANT 🤩 Totally Agree Michael Singh👍👍 ….But do you know all the words? 🤔😁😉 I was a Goth/Punk .We all loved it. One of those RTDF, run to the dance floor , which got reduced to RDF, mad huh

@@fluffylynxpuss5043 As the years have gone by my recall is not what it used to be! Maybe something to do with all of the chemical experimentation that occurred in my youth.

Yes the 80.s was a wonderful decade :-)

Muyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

But yet, the best days of the Mode were still to come...

Totals

@@mariadaugbjerg6141 it was the last great decade before life became virtual.

100% my man!!!👊😎

Dancing is great

From the wikipedia page: """ They [the band] eventually came to the Crazy Daisy Nightclub on High Street, where Oakey spotted two girls dancing together on the dance floor, Susan Ann Sulley and Joanne Catherall. They were both 17-year-old students on a night out and neither had any experience singing or dancing professionally. With no preamble, Oakey asked both girls to join the tour as dancers and incidental vocalists. """ And I really like the fact that they took on bigger and bigger roles in the band as time went on.

thats what we call dance

Absolutely! They should have been more of a household name than what they were. I remember in the 90s when they released tell me when and people loving it and wondering who this band the human league were. Then finding out that they were a Yorkshire band that were pretty big in the 80s and had already had two US number ones. Should have been known already.

Have a word with yourself mate, I went to school with Suzanne Sully in the late 60's - early 70's at Charnock Hall infants & juniors. She then left to go to Ashleigh Secondary school instead of Thornbridge. I myself moved to Dronfield in '73. Suzanne always fancied herself then. Remember me from Charnock Suzanne?

Depeche Mode

At the time I felt it was a bit too minimalistic, and I prefer analog synth sounds (with a pulse and a more textured tone - more overtones, like you'd hear from bands like Simple Minds, Ultravox or New Order, or Tangerine Dream of course) - but forty years later I can certainly see the elegance and sense of style, both musically and visually. Phil is not a great singer but he has just the right attitude! :)

Totally. Gaga is rubbish.

80s music wipes the floor with everything since!

If you're talking chart music, definitely. I blame Simon Cowell.

If it wasnt for phil it wouldnt think he was spawned from a musical note

@@safeashouses211 why? None of that stuff had any longevity or serious sales, apart from the boy band, and that sort of thing as been around for decades.

your kids must be freaks because of your taste

IKR 😣😣😣

You betcha batwing jumper friend!

Yep me to 👍

Lady Snowblood I graduated in 82, had hip friends, hip clothes, hip drugs, and always the hippest music. The ‘80s were a dream

Yeah you have to love the 80s and the human league for that

I wouldn't give up living through the 80s, and the music that came out of that era, for anything 😎

Funny enough. I was at school. When I 1st saw the Human League on the TV. The Human League's single was. The Sound of the Crowd. And that was the night in question. When I simply fell in love with the Human League. And Queen Joanne Catherall ♥️ epy. She looked so cute. Little did I know. That I would be lucky enough 2 get a chance 2 meet up with the 2 Human League Sweet ♥️ s IE Queens Joanne Catherall ♥️ (6 times) Susan Sulley ♥️ (4times) and king Philip Oakey 2. Nor did I know that my favourite Human League Sweet ♥️ 4 ever. IE Queen Joanne Catherall ♥️. Will be partly responsible 4 the best night of my life ever.

Vibin

Saw Human League at avenham park Preston many years ago and at Butlins few years ago

Same.. Human League, Heaven 17.. goodness, saw them both perform at a concert at least 25 or more years ago.. such classics.. I'm 56 too 🙂

@@stephanieroberts1157 I am 58 and love them just as much :) Oh, and I loved Heaven 17 as well!

If we haven't "given up" on style all of this can remain relevant (Chanel raw 2017) amirite?

In days of yore, young ladies wore dresses or skirts. I'm so glad that Sporty Spice or foreign cultures have had no influence whatsoever.

bassmanjoe Agreed, but one is grossly overplayed 😉

xm radio first wave does

Or The Lebanon.

Agreed far superior to dont you want me.

I heard Love action on 6 Music yesterday.

It's up to us to share it This is one of my 4 year old boys favourite songs ♥️

I still have it on Vinyl... Oh great, I’m not only old but a hoarder.

YUMAN LEAGUE .ANNI 80. NELLA STORIA MUSICA .

@@fearsomebeard4290 Nothing wrong with hoarding TREASURE mate

Banging tune X

Ay up, Sheffs still got it!

Lol Did she really??? Maybe 26 is different in some countries 🤔 . Everything comes around again, in some cases ,never went away as we’ve been playing our 80’s CD’s & Tapes all along,teaching kids what decent music was, including some 70’s DISCO, like The Whispers : ‘And the beat goes gone’, the iconic Bee Gee’s “Staying Alive”. Sister Sledge, THE Iconic Blondie, UB40, Go West, YES, Fleetwood Mac, Journey, Bad Manners, The Specials,The Cult, WHITESNAKE ,Def Leppard, even some of the Sex Pistols 🎸🎹🎺🎸💁‍♀️

Cool is timeless. As is style and a sence of humour.

That is very cool.

@@fluffylynxpuss5043 well, I’m 18 and I like most of the bands you mentioned above especially The Whispers, Blondie, Fleetwood Mac and the Sex Pistols. I don’t think age is limited for taste in good music..😊

You waited 26 years?

Sin duda alguna la mejor época para ser adolescente

agreed

hell yeh loved it i was 19 drinking dancing going to different clubs everyone enjoyed themselves remember with fondness 😊😁☺❤👍👵

Absolutely!! I love the 80’s 🤗

I feel sorry for kids today. My kids love the 80s music. We sure didn’t give crap about 40s music when I was teen.

Abso effing lutely!!I have chills run up my spine if I walk into a club and here that opening electric synth!!😍

agreed - the goose bumps now as in 84 when I was 24 - nothing has changed (accept age!!!).

😁🤘😈

lol .I had almost the same haircut when i was 15 in 1980 .he,he :-D

lol!

came for the comments....not disappointed..! lol...

Well seeing as I refuse on principle to pay more than a fiver for a haircut I'd have had the same long hair back then.

Roland Orzabal's was pretty good, too

So was I.

I lived near there for a while many years ago ! Spent my time getting drunk.

Me and my best mate Jim had an amateur "synth duo". I was a Gary Numan fanatic and he was nuts about The Human League. This takes me right back to those days, sitting in his bedroom with this cranking out of a cassette player. Great memories :)

james smith human league and blondie are my total faves but I love spandau ballet

actually the metal should be your guilty pleasure; no guilt in liking the brilliant essential HL

+Baroqendmz+ Yeah, it is obvious that you have no comprehension of what being a fan of heavy music is about, otherwise you wouldn't have made such a foolish statement.

Why guilty, THL are a very good band, they even covered the Priest's "Take On The World".... (it ain't great though)

james smith: when it comes to guilty pleasures, you need to understand levels of pretentiousness, and "metal" is MORE pretentious than post punk electronic.

But why the hell are they wearing granmas dresses??????

The young lady on the left is doing the thing. The young lady on the right? Ehhhh...

That,ll be Susan on the left And Joe on the right Trust me Susan on the left is still doing it ;) Very Fuckable.............................................

You mean don't knowing how to dance is a style on its own ?

Fays Baroom you mean not knowing how to use the correct manner of speaking is a thing?

I hadnt noticed, thanks

Hmm. I can't fault you for liking it or feeling a sense of nostalgia or being brought back to a specific time and place (I mean, I'm here too...). But fresh? I'd be hard pressed to think of a group from the era that sounds more dated than the Human League....

this is shit.

@80s Freak It'll stomp out any of today's computerized music.

AMAZING

65sparx It’s called ‘talent’.

It's a fun song.

36 is a terrifying number of years.

I remember the 1st time that I saw the Human League on the TV. The Human League song. Was The sound of the crowd. And that was the night. That I simply fell in love with the Human League. and Queen Joanne Catherall ♥️ epy. Little did I know. That I would be lucky enough 2 have a great opportunity 2 meet up with the 2 Human League Sweet ♥️ s IE Queens Joanne Catherall ♥️ and Susan Sulley ♥️ and king Philip Oakey 2. Nor did I know that u Queen Joanne Catherall Sweet ♥️. Will be partly responsible 4 the best night of my life ever. Even though the unexpected free taxi home from Brighton 2 Portsmouth where I live in and play Chess 4 on the night in question wasn't planned. The only downside of the night in question. Is that. Queen Joanne Catherall ♥️ wasn't in the free taxi home from Brighton 2 Portsmouth where I live in and play Chess 4. With me. I would of loved it. If Queen Joanne Catherall ♥️, Queen Susan Sulley ♥️ and king Philip Oakey 2 were in the free taxi home from Brighton 2 Portsmouth with me.

Comments like yours shouldn't be here because you haven't got a clue

Yeah, honestly, that's ridiculous. Dare went #1 in many countries throughout the world.
