Here we have the choices for 1986.  A shit ton of songs to choose from again.

I doubt it has a prayer of being one of the top two for this year, but Holding Back the Years is one of the best number 1s of the entire decade.

Kiss - Prince and the Revolution
West End Girls - Pet Shop Boys
Venus - Bananarama
Take My Breath Away - Berlin
Human - The Human League

Another great year.  These are "pop" songs, so they wasn't exactly buying them.  But most made it into my collection eventually.  Most of what I liked was all the new synth sounds being used in new ways.  I thought about going Sledgehammer, but that song is one of my least favorite Gabriel songs, so it gets a penalty.

Meanwhile, Venus is covered in cheese, but the synth stuff going on underneath is stuff I really, really love.

Dang it I hate that Kyrie is going to lose out if you are only taking the top 2. You Give Love A Bad Name is typical formulaic Bon Jovi.
