1986 was a year to remember, as the space shuttle Challenger tragically exploded minutes after liftoff, killing all seven on board. In happier news, it was a great year for technology and self-exploration. 1986 was also a banner year for music. What were the top songs of 1986?

Robert Palmer – “Addicted To Love”
Bon Jovi – “You Give Love a Bad Name”
John Cougar Mellancamp – “R.O.C.K. in the U.S.A.”
Peter Gabriel – “Sledgehammer”
INXS – “What You Need”you
Rush – “The Big Money”
Dire Straits – “Walk of Life”
Genesis – “Invisible Touch”
Steve Winwood – “Higher Love”
Van Halen – “Love Walks In”

Thoughts: Robert Palmer and Michael Hutchence have passed on, while Peter Gabriel, Rush, Van Halen, Genesis, Steve Winwood (by way of Traffic) and John Cougar Mellencamp are now in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Every song on this list sold millions of copies, every song a hit.
