Time For a Witness is my least favorite of the four, but still worth checking out.

I didn't expect much from this year at first when I sorted my library but several excellent surprises popped up, and they're all over the place. I'll up some in a day or two if interested.

I'm late to the TT party, having discovered this only a few years ago because I associated them with the lame, poppy crap that 80's New Wave morphed into, but this is release is the beginnings of TT's experimental phases and it has some pretty great stuff:

Image

This was a special, used vinyl buy at that great used record store in Hoboken (I can't remember the name of). I bought it because it was autographed, and it can really shine with some fine electro-acoustic Americana Folk-Rock backed by guys like David Hidalgo. It's not a complete success but River of Love still knocks me out. (Had trouble finding decent artwork, BTW...)

T Bone Burnett: S/T

Image

I don't know...this kinda tanked and it certainly doesn't equal his work with the Buzzcocks, but I played the crap out of Side 2 when it was new (also had trouble finding decent artwork):

Image

This album really opened up a new vein for me to discover the Bakersfield Sound. The guy can just flat out sing:

That's a great album, and the vinyl sounds really, really good.

Dayglo Abortions - Feed Us A Fetus



Purposely offensive, artlessly vulgar, no redeeming musical qualities whatsoever, and yet, Feed Us A Fetus is a small slice of cheeseball genius. The songs all pretty much sound the same - punk metal so dirty and subterranean you'll need to fumigate your stereo after each play - and the moronic songtitles (to wit: "Religious Bumfucks," "Argh Fuck Kill," "Dogfarts," "Kill The Hosers") deliver in spades on their promise of dumbass inanity. The band (whose members dubbed themselves Jesus Bonehead, Couch Potato, The Cretin, and, most brilliantly, Wayne Gretzky) ain't too good, but it's their angry, borderline nutzoid amateurism that makes this whole mess work. And on top of all that, "Proud To Be Canadian" is the funniest national slam ever.

A blast from the past. I'll have to dig my copy out and listen soon.

Well let's not forget that 1986 was a landmark year for perennial favorite Kenny G.

Image

He released what is arguably considered his masterpiece, Duotones.

Here's a performance of a choice cut from that album, "Midnight Motion":

You gonna Up that Drinky? :roll:

A friend of mine went to see Kenny G with her nerdy husband a few years back and, after about an hour said "Let's go, I think he played this song already".

definitely that slayer, metallica and love and rockets (though i really didn't get into them until earth, sun, moon).

i'd add this. maybe one of the greatest album covers of all time and contains the classic freaky tales. i have this album hanging on the wall in my house.

Man I have the years of my Too Short albums all messed up. I have Raw, X-Rated and Uncut as 1986, but it's 1985 and I had Born to Mack at 87. Fixed now, good choice.

Not their best record (that would be All Over the Place), but still a really good record with a few really great singles (Walk Like an Egyptian, Manic Monday, If She Knew What She Wants) and a smattering of some pretty good album tracks (In a Different Light, Walking Down Your Street, Let it Go, and their cover of September Gurls).

The Cramps - A Date With Elvis



After Psychedelic Jungle the Cramps seemed to disappear for a while. They put out a live ep (Smell of Female) and a couple of compilations appeared, and then in '86 they reappeared with A Date With Elvis with a completely re-tooled sound and image. The influence of rotten old horror flicks was replaced by an all-consuming obsession with cheap, tawdry sex, and the old twangy rockabilly scuzz had become both more muscular and more conventional. The first single, "Can Your Pussy Do The Dog?", pretty much set the new template perfectly. In some ways I missed the old version of the Cramps, but at the same time I appreciated that they were moving forward. Plus, this new direction brought out the sex kitten in Ivy Rorschach, and their album artwork from here on in benefited greatly from that development. As well, this was the era during which they toured with Candy Del Mar on bass, a tiny bit of trivia that will never be forgotten by all heterosexual males who saw them live that year.

Link is for the reissue, which includes 4 b-sides from the album's singles.

That BoDeans is the best of their catalog imo. Outside Looking In only had about half as many good songs but still quality ones at that. Never liked much more after that and I gave up trying after Black and White.

I think I am Sketch Jr.? You guys are also bringing up a lot of early MTV alternatives that I have no desire to listen to (Talk Talk, etc.) I was so hair metal in 1986, but I'm also rural and culturally uninvolved at the time. Just gimme that Metallica and RUN-D.M.C and I'm more than happy.

Throwing Muses proper debut, back when Tanya Donelly was in the lineup and they were still ... I guess fresh college ROCK/indie underground instead of over-saturated "alternative." Kristin Hersh was a fireball of a vocalist back then. They got poppier and softer as the years went on but here it's all raw and rippin'.
