Songs and Albums of 1986 Poll

Listyguy · Post by **Listyguy** » Thu Aug 01, 2013 12:10 am

As we continue our trek through the 80s, we now enter the year of 1986. The year is somewhat infamous as it was responsible for the Challenger disaster and the nuclear meltdown at Chernobyl.

Morbidity aside, please post a list of your favorite songs and/or albums of 1986. Only the top 15 will be given points, but don’t feel restricted. Longer lists are well loved. But don’t make your lists too short either, because only lists with at least 5 songs/albums will be recognized for the poll.

Feel free to check out the recommendation thread to see what other AMers are digging from this year. It’s also a great place to start if the only album you know from this year is “The Queen Is Dead”.

The deadline is midnight (UTC/Forum Time) on September 1st.

To advance to the final list, songs/albums must have a minimum of 2 votes. In case of a tie, a tie-breaker will be invoked.

Please use the following format when posting your list:

Rank. Artist - Album/Song

EPs and compilations are not albums. Discrepancies with this matter as well as the year of a release will be determined by RateYourMusic.

This should also go in the "error" topic but shouldn't we consider "Dear God" to be 1986 (and not 1987 as indicated in AM).
I know it wasn't in the original Skylarking and was released as a single in 1987, but it was a B-Side of the 1986's single Grass

In that case it would be eligible for this month's poll.

Bonnie,

3. Lionel Richie - Say You, Say Me

This song is from 1985. It is on the Dancing on the Ceiling LP, which was released in 1986, but it had already been released as a single from the soundtrack for White Nights. It hit number one in the USA in late December '85.

Is there any reason you only submit lists of ten? Your top 15 receive votes, and I know you've heard more than the ten your voting for.

DaveC wrote:Nicolas, your list includes Guitarras callejeras. RYM says that is from 1983, with Blues de la Fontera from 1986.

Yes, I know, but Guitarras Callejeras is really from 1986. First I had included it in my 1983 list and all the Spanish friends from the forum corrected me. So RYM is wrong this time. See link here

I think Blues de la Frontera is from 1988

Is everybody on vacation this month and neglecting the poll (ok, I've been doing a bit of that myself)? The turnout so far this month has been pathetic! I hope you guys are all going to submit your lists soon (and in the process drown my in excel), because there's less than two weeks left!

Is there any reason you only submit lists of ten? Your top 15 receive votes, and I know you've heard more than the ten your voting for.

I could give more, but I like the concept of a top 10. I've always just kept track of my top 10s for each year, even for songs.

Better post this now, since I’ll be on vacation for the next week and probably won’t have internet access. I didn’t get a chance to listen to much from 1986 that I hadn’t already heard. (Although, since I spent much of my free time listening to Sonofsam’s excellent songs list, I have no regrets.) This month features my ultimate guilty pleasure, but I’d be lying if I said it didn’t still hold great memories for me. It shouldn’t be difficult to spot…

Albums:
1. Bourgeois Tagg—Bourgeois Tagg
2. Gene Loves Jezebel—Discover
3. Peter Gabriel—So
4. Madonna—True Blue
5. Ministry—Twitch
6. New Order—Brotherhood
7. Astor Piazzolla—Tango: Zero Hour
8. Run-D.M.C.—Raising Hell
9. Metallica—Master of Puppets
10. The Smiths—The Queen is Dead
11. Slayer—Reign in Blood
12. Les Rita Mitsouko—The No Comprendo
13. Sonic Youth—EVOL
14. Bon Jovi—Slippery When Wet
15. Janet Jackson—Control

Songs:
1. Lone Justice—Dreams Come True (Stand Up and Take It)
2. Bourgeois Tagg—Body Count
3. New Order—Paradise
4. The Smiths—Bigmouth Strikes Again
