(Finished May 11th, 2023) Part 5 of the Best Pop, Rock and Soul Songs of 1986

Hello,

After watching another great episode of "Cold Case" I continue to say that show uses music to highlight and emphasize the emotions that enhance the storyline. Tonight I watched the Season 1 finale of "Cold Case", it's the episode entitled "Lover's Lane". The story is based in 1986, in other words a lot of great music from 1986 played. The first 8 songs below are songs played in that episode of "Cold Case". Some of those songs aren't actually from 1986. Starting with the ninth song though starts many of the greatest songs of that year.

It reminds me again how great the music was in 1986, but then again every year of the 80s had amazing music.

69) Peter Gabriel "In Your Eyes":

70) ZZ Top "Velcro Fly":

71) Jermaine Stewart "We Don't Have To Take Our Clothes Off":
