My Top 5 Songs For 1986

Let's start 1986 with Run-D.M.C.'s mash up with Aeorosmith's Walk This Way.  This pioneered a new style of rap.  The hit also revitalized Aerosmith's career.

For those desiring the opposite of rap, I've added John Cougar Mellencamp's Small Town.  Plus, I grew up in a small rural area. So, I might as well celebrate it.

Next, I've included the upbeat Latin flavor of Miami Sound Machine's Conga.  I'm giving you all kinds of different music this week!  I hope you like variety ;)

Speaking of different, here's Falco's unusual, but fun, Rock Me Amadeus.  Good luck trying to understand the lyrics.  The chorus is awesome though!

I've wrapped up the Top 5 with Prince's classic, Kiss.  YouTube doesn't seem to carry Prince, but here's a Glee version I found.  

Or if you want a less risque video, here's a cover from some random band at a Paris metro.

Honorable Mention:

Dionne and Friends.  That's What Friends Are For.  #1 song of the year.  Also includes Elton John, Gladys Knight & Stevie Wonder.

Mr. Mister.  Kyrie.  No idea what's going on in the song, but it made it to the top 10 for the year.

John Cougar Mellencamp.  R.O.C.K. In The U.S.A.  For not being a huge Mellencamp fan, I seem to include a lot of his tunes.
