Rocky Road From Classic Rock to Progessive to hip hop to today's hot new tunes! |

1981 gave us the breakthrough synthpop album, Dare, by The Human League. Before "Don't You Want Me" became an international hit, The Human League made inroads with the single, "Love Action (I Believe In Love)." However, when you flipped that over, it was the B-side, "Hard Times," which caused people to exclaim, "What in Kraftwerk is this?!"
So for 35 years now, "Hard Times" has been one of those popular underground discotheque favorites. Thanks to the Internet, "Hard Times" is finally making its way into common desktops and commutes.
If you have or get this on vinyl, be very careful. That warbly upper-midrange can drive you, your kids, your mother-in-law, and the pets crazy. I've had various mixes of "Hard Times" on vinyl, and they were and are quite difficult to stomach. Kind of ironic, considering that the song was made via what are now vintage analog synthesizers.
