Marcello gives Dare and the genesis of New Pop its due: http://nobilliards.blogspot.co.uk/2013/04/the-human-league-dare.html
Bloggers just don't write novellas loosely associated with albums they like anymore do they. Interesting elegy for Lester Bangs but that's as far as I made it.
Aside from Don't You Want Me the only song I know here is The Things That Dreams Are Made Of, which I've had in heavy rotation for a while, seeking out all the different versions and remixes because it was featured in one (electroclash?) DJ mix I found recently, which highlighted its unique appeal very effectively. I think it may have actually been the album version but the way it fits into the mix is exceptional.

‘The Things Dreams Are Made of’ is phenomenal…fantastic lyric too…”Everyone needs two or three friends’ is peak England
