The Music of 1986
We’re diving headfirst into the first six months of 1986! Join us as we rewind to January through June and relive the music that made 1986 one of the most memorable years of the decade. It was a time when rock and rap were colliding, metal was still reigning supreme, the Minneapolis funk sound was coming into its own, and pop soundtracks were turning lesser-known bands into superstars!
We cover juggernaut releases like Janet Jackson’s Control, Peter Gabriel’s So, Van Halen’s 5150, and Metallica’s Master of Puppets, as well as albums by The Bangles, Ozzy, Elvis Costello, Depeche Mode, Judas Priest, Prince, Run D.M.C., and many others, plus soundtracks such as Pretty in Pink, Labyrinth, and Krush Groove.
As always you can follow along and listen to all the music we discuss with our Spotify Playlist for this episode.
