I've only heard one other album in the poll - Queen's "It's a Kind of Magic" - so Roger Waters' soundtrack album was an easy choice to make, even if it was somewhat predictable. Smile

wait, you don't know all the sophisti-pop from this poll? LOL

I might have chosen the Police, but it's a Best Of so off it goes.
Stings Live album Bring On The Night is really good but again...kind of a Best Of, so poof.

I kinda remember way back in the day buying the When The Wind Blows CD and how much I liked it when I did...sure, why not.
Thank you for supporting independently produced music

I love the film more than the soundtrack, but I do still like most of the soundtrack, so it gets my own vote, too.

So I broke into the Palace
With a sponge and a rusty spanner
She said: "Eh, I know you, and you cannot sing"
I said: "that's nothing - you should hear me play piano"

The Smiths, of course.

After enjoying the discussion under (first) A Crimson Mellotron’s 1986 poll, and (then) Cristi’s 1986 poll, I felt almost obliged to make my own. After all things (both good and bad) come in threes.

So I decided to make my own poll of fifteen albums from 1986 (since both ACM and Cristi listed 15 albums). Of course, I didn’t want to use any albums already listed, so that means I couldn’t use albums I enjoy from such artists as Depeche Mode, Peter Gabriel and Genesis (to name just three from A Crimson Mellotron), or A-Ha, Candlemass and Queensryche (to name just three from Cristi). I still had rather a large list, so decided to attempt to use only albums I knew I actually owned and loved back in 1986 (oh, those heady days!).

And then, just to be contrary, I added four soundtracks to my list of 15 albums. Because back in the day, soundtracks comprised a large part of my cassette collection (for that was how I listened to music), and some of my first albums were soundtracks. (Empire Strikes Back and Gremlins being the two earliest I can remember off the top of my head. Gremlins would have been the first time I heard Peter Gabriel, I expect. I was disappointed he chose not to put his song from Gremlins onto his recent soundtrack compilation album.)

So there you have it - my obnoxious 1986 poll. Have at it! 😜
