1986 - best albums

Recommended Posts

Not a single mention of OUTSIDE EDGE - RUNNING HOT?

 

Not in my TOP 10, but I'm sure it would find its way into my top 40 if I were pressed to choose. Just an awesome 1986 album... seriously fits that particular year like a glove.

 

When I get to rating all my stuff I reckon that's a good chance at my top 10, or at least top 20. O's are not far away...

I've rated it recently. 3 tracks will definitely make my ultimate playlist. Not sure on its overall place.

 

I've already rated 57 releases and I was just browsing my collection to find which of them I have on cd in order to spin them in my car stereo and thus maximizing my listening time, when I realized that there are approximately 100 more for summative assessment. And a rough estimate of 50 more which I don't have in any format but will unleash my spotify powers on them. Talking 'bout some serious public sector evaluation.

I thought it might be cool to make a list of what I think my top 5 might be, and compare it to the eventual list when I finish all my ratings. So, based on Glen's I'll predict this as my top 5:

 

  1. Fate - A Matter of Attitude
  2. Aviator – s/t
  3. Poison - Look What The Cat Dragged In
  4. Bon Jovi - Slippery When Wet

And probably one of these at number 5:

 

  1. Cinderella Night Songs
  2. Skagarack Skagarack
  3. Treat The Pleasure Principle

 

 

well, were you right??

My list would be very different but an interesting read.

 

Surpringly 86 is not a real amazing year.

 

Couldn't agree more. It's actually a pretty damn weak year, to be honest. In terms of really, truly killer albums, I could probably leave it to my top 4 and be done with it.

 

There's other good stuff, but it's all quite patchy, to be honest. No greater example than Bon Jovi. When it's good it's amazing, but there's just as many clunkers on it. Same goes for a lot of those generally well regarded albums in the list.
