    I was in prison until August of 1986, so I kind of missed that year. Don't hold up a donut shop without checking for cops first..

    Richie, your quiet ''library'' voice lends much authority to this serious subject. The Butthole Surfers EP, '' Cream Corn From The Socket Of Davis'' was included with my reissue copy of Rembrandt Pussyhorse. The title refers to Sammy Davis Jrs missing eyeball. That EP includes two of the best Butthole songs, ''Moving To Florida'' and ''Comb''. The song, ''Comb'' approximates the sound of a live concert by the band. My fave tune on ''Rembrandt Pussyhorse'' is the cover of ''American Woman'', love how they sneak in a Bo Diddley tremelo guitar part. Bill Laswell is the Mastermind of the awesome, ''Album'' by PIL, he had Lydon fire his current band members and then he assembled the band of top-notch players. I'm still trying to track down a copy of the super- deluxe box set of ''Album''. Check out Randy Newman's oddball cover of Peter Gabriel's ''Big Time''.

    1986 was a big year for me discovering college radio. That was the year of Yo La Tengo “Ride The Tiger”, The Feelies “The Good Earth”, The Chills “Kaleidoscope World” comp and Sonic Youth “Evol”. A watershed year music-wise. A lot of what you showed was in there, so much great music.

    '86 was one of those totally British years for me. Hawkwind, Mission, Smiths, Sisters of Mercy, Prefab Sprout, that whole period of new age travellers meeting punk and pop and goth in one glorious mess. I miss my 80's. Really enjoyed the video Rich.

  • @hellionrebellionrocknrolla744

    '86 is a good year for music. Looooooooove some Spacemen 3. This band is right up Cosmic B's alley. "Puppets" was my first Metallica record and still my favorite. Ha, ha. "Album" was my first P.I.L record. Oh just stop now! "The Queen Is Dead" is my first Smiths record. 😂 You're killing me. Cro-mags "Age" and the first Beasties were the first records I owned from those groups. No wonder I think '86 was a good year. Cheers!

    Glad you did another one, really enjoy these. Iv been told I’d like spacemen three before, maybe by you come to think of it, but Iv never listened to them. I have PIL generic album but hardly ever listen to it I’ll have to pull it again. Date with Elvis might be my favorite cramps. Finally picked up a reissue of atomizer and really liked it. Have you heard blood and chocolate by EC? He vocals are very raw on that one, probably his most Dylan ish album. Frankly Mr shankly is one of my favorite smiths songs haha. I think I’m going to start doing these in the next few months but every year there’s one or 2 really really good albums I’m missing

    Very cool picks, but why so brief? I listen to and watch out of the corner of my eye when cooking/cleaning up, and most of these countdown videos are at least 15 to 30 minutes. You could tell us a bit about what was going on in your life at the time, and cover maybe 25, zipping through the first 5 or ten more quickly if ya want. Just a friendly suggestion.
    I was in high school in Iowa and my knowledge of music via Trouser Press Record Guide and various magazines, outpaced my access to music and available funds, and I was going insane from the tyranny of MTV and corporate rock radio. Fortunately I had KUNI, a great college station, and some friends who had older brothers in college bringing home music for me to dub on cassette.
