1986...what a great year in music. I hadn't heard the title track from VH's 5150 album in a while and it immediately brought back memories of that summer which was one of the best in my life, got me to thinking just what a great year that was for music - here are a few I had or still have on some form of vinyl, cd, or cassette:

Metallica - Master of Puppets
Van Halen - 5150
AC/DC - Who Made Who soundtrack
Iron Maiden - Somewhere In Time
Ozzy - The Ultimate Sin
Judas Priest - Turbo ....ummmm, well...
David Lee Roth - Eat 'Em And Smile
Motorhead - Orgasmatron
Yngwie Malmsteen - Trilogy
Sepultura - Morbid Visions
SRV - Live Alive
Dark Angel - Darkness Descends
Vinnie Vincent Invasion - VVI
Cinderella - Night Songs
Megadeth - Peace Sells...
And last but not least - Slayer - Reign In Blood

1986??? unfortunately I was just reaching puberty and couldn't get my head far enough out of the girls asses to hear any music.

Those were the days - melodic, heavy, and real music. Also the year I got my first custom Jackson.

I was 15 in 1986! Damn. Where did that time go. Some great music was being made in the mid/ late 80's. Miss those days!!

I was 17 and listened to all those, saw Metallica, oozy, priest, maiden tours

And Reckless off of Priest's Turbo kicks ass

Saw Bon Jovi and Cinderella on the Slippery When Wet tour that year. I didn't really know Bon Jovi's stuff at the time, but I was a big Cinderella fan. Seeing them live was awesome for an 11 year old kid!

I believe there will be parties in 2016 to celebrate the 30th anniversary of 1986. I'm going to begin to make preparations for mine shortly.

I was a high school senior in 86. God, I fucking love that year.

Just about in the middle, just past my best memories of Rock living a revival after the Disco years.
My HS graduation was 1981 and there was a lot to celebrate as rock came back in style.
Unfortunately I was seeing the same commercial damage that turned R&B into disco!
Along with all the good I somehow focused on the bad...and hair metal erupted and confirmed my feelings.

Funny how the same thing has enveloped "Country Music".

I can look back now and enjoy what I missed.
At least I went to a lot of the shows and that can't be changed.
JP, Maiden, Scorpions, Riot, Rainbow, etc...
Good times!
