I voted Addicted to Love, obviously, but enough about my Palmer love. Everything on Riptide except for that dull Flesh Wound track.
I used to be quite the Genesis fan and have listened to nearly all of the Collins-era albums. Invisible Touch wore off on me after a while because it's one of those albums where nearly every song is a hit. Domino and Brazilian are brilliant but B-sideish.
Sledgehammer is friggin classic, I've never tired of it.
Higher Love I've come to associating with waiting rooms and Hot AC radio.
Hip To Be Square immediately brings American Psycho to mind these days.

I like to sing "Might as well admit it, you're in love with a dick."

The Cars were still big. "You Are The Girl" hit #1 on the same chart a year later.

Clearly, Eddie Money.

I didn't expect this level of participation, nor the winner. Hell, "Missionary Man" got five votes!

"Don't Get Me Wrong." Most of these I can't stand.

I would have probably voted for "Higher Love" but there are a bunch I don't know.

I like the Eddie Money song too though.

We didn't discuss it all but "Throwing It All Away" is a gorgeous ballad -- maybe my favorite Collins ballad after "Against All Odds."

voted 'higher love' - it's always sunny in philadelphia has severely raised my appreciation of 80s winwood. so many of these songs i hated at the time, only liked the two most new wave ones ('in yr eyes', 'don't get me wrong') plus the eddie money which is undeniable of course. forgot that julian lennon single was that big a hit.

1986 was kinda shit, wannit?
except for the peter gabriel songs, the steve winwood song, and MAYBE the eurythmics song just about everything on this list is crap.

It's a poor year when the Eurythmics end up in the 'not crap' bucket.
