Wasn't "Living in America" by James Brown (from Rocky 4) out in 1986? I loved that song.

Wow...these lists bring back me-mo-ries! The one song that sticks out most from '86 for me, though, is "Only Human" by Billy Joel. I remember hearing it on the first day of ninth grade, it was pouring rain, I was nervous and it totally lifted my spirits!
