Subject: Songs from 1986

Written By: yelimsexa on 03/17/10 at 8:52 pm

To me 1986 is perhaps the most "polished" year of '80s style and production, with DX7 pianos common in ballads but before the faster dance music predominates, and ballads tended to dominate the biggest hits that year. There were still some uptempo hits, however.

One of my favourite years! I could've voted for way more than 5. Whitney's other singles would've got my vote, but they're not listed.

Janet Jackson- Nasty
Genesis- Invincible Touch
The Jets- You Got It All
Janet Jackson- When I Think Of You
Peter Cetera- Glory Of Love

Other greats on the list were Billy Ocean, Bruce Hornsby, Steve Winwood and The Bangles.

  Half the stuff on my list is probably from 1985 anyway.  That was a long time ago, gimme a break...
