This is a list of notable events in music that took place in the year 1986.
The following songs achieved the highest chart positions in the charts of 1986.
Frank Vincent Zappa (December 21, 1940 – December 4, 1993) was an American composer, singer-songwriter, electric guitarist, recording engineer, record producer and film director. In a career spanning more than 30 years, Zappa wrote rock, jazz, orchestral and musique concrète works. He also directed feature-length films and music videos, and designed album covers. Zappa produced almost all of the more than 60 albums he released with the band The Mothers of Invention and as a solo artist. While in his teens, he acquired a taste for percussion-based avant-garde composers such as Edgard Varèse and 1950s rhythm and blues music. He began writing classical music in high school, while at the same time playing drums in rhythm and blues bands; he later switched to electric guitar.
He was a self-taught composer and performer, and his diverse musical influences led him to create music that was often impossible to categorize. His 1966 debut album with The Mothers of Invention, Freak Out!, combined songs in conventional rock and roll format with collective improvisations and studio-generated sound collages. His later albums shared this eclectic and experimental approach, irrespective of whether the fundamental format was one of rock, jazz or classical. His lyrics—often humorously—reflected his iconoclastic view of established social and political processes, structures and movements. He was a strident critic of mainstream education and organized religion, and a forthright and passionate advocate for freedom of speech, self-education, political participation and the abolition of censorship.
Peter Brian Gabriel (born 13 February 1950) is an English singer, musician, and songwriter who rose to fame as the lead vocalist and flautist of the progressive rock group Genesis. After leaving Genesis, Gabriel went on to a successful solo career. His 1986 album, So, is his most commercially successful, and the album's biggest hit, "Sledgehammer", won a record nine MTV Awards at the 1987 MTV Video Music Awards, and the song is the most played music video in the history of the station.
More recently, Gabriel has focused on producing and promoting world music and pioneering digital distribution methods for music. He has also been involved in various humanitarian efforts. Gabriel has won numerous music awards throughout his career, including three Brit Awards—winning Best British Male in 1987, six Grammy Awards, thirteen MTV Video Music Awards, and in 2007 he was honoured as a BMI Icon at the 57th annual BMI London Awards for his “influence on generations of music makers.” Gabriel was also awarded the Polar Music Prize in 2009, and was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of Genesis in 2010.
the prologue snatches away everything along with the
scenery before us as the pure white feathers falls now
flying away without even hearing the last words into
this uncertain sky with nowhere to go
the special color that blocks my heart, sometimes a
shadow, sometimes a dream, and sometimes love
when the shard of memories become important, they
change into small courage
and overlap in the silhouette
if the prayers will become an unseen wind and reach the
nape of your neck
I feel that I can overcome the pain and lies and the
regret left behind so
believe, the many radiance that appears when you close
your eyes
the proof of eternity is this Trinity Cross
even if there's no song that will echo forever, this
feeling will never fade
the pain I carried without knowing it, sometimes
darkness, sometimes rain, and sometimes love
the important feeling
that was similar to the warmth notifying me that every
scene is wonderful now
with a strong force that can be called as an oath I
felt that 'I want to protect you'
I feel that I can cope with the sins and punishment and
the regret from sadness so
believe, even if the sudden wind makes you uneasy
the proof of eternity is this Trinity Cross
I wonder why? I feel far from time to time. although
I'm very close.
feeling painful by wanting to convey more words than
to an endless tomorrow
the pure white feathers fall now and become the veil
that covers the two of us
I feel that I will never get lost again in the morning
and night and the regret of reminiscence
believe, the many radiance that appears when you close
your eyes

I was always looking for a place full of true smiles
The future was reflected in that faint warmth, unmoving
I place my hopes on an unknown tomorrow
But rather than going through more anxious nights
I want to protect the small happiness that’s here now
In the nameless starry sky reflected in your clear blue
eyes
I quietly write a constellation, the coordinates to my
own dream
Even if it disappears in the darkness
I’ll never lose these memories of you
“Tell me…?” You were the first to touch the door to my
heart
I didn’t realize I had become so used to being alone
A pain that stings my heart, a love that doesn’t reach
I lied, pretending not to notice
I didn’t think there would ever be a reason for my
loneliness
The miracle of us meeting that day
Is a prologue to a story that no one can imagine
I want to tell you even if the words end up ordinary
I’ll flap my wings and fly to you
“Let’s go…” I won’t be lost again
Somewhere in my heart, did I want it to end…?
I don’t even know where I’m going
I can hear your voice
Telling me, “It’s begun”
In the nameless starry sky reflected in your clear blue
eyes
I’ll draw a constellation, the coordinates to our
secret dream
The miracle of us meeting that day
Is a prologue to a story that no one can imagine
I want to tell you even if the words end up ordinary
I’ll flap my wings and fly to you
Merry go round in a dazzling world
LOVE to the best
Wonderland the feelings begin to overflow
What puzzled Mail News excitement out of the city
Meet the future road will be followed by confusion Road
congestion
I also enjoy every newspaper every day?
It'll treasure hunt and search for more
Merry go round in a dazzling world
LOVE to the best
Wonderland the feelings begin to overflow
Mode, repeating mode tears smile
Flower of love is the dream, or open doors one day
Chance of a sudden I come
Not expect I'll get more time MEGERU
Merry go round with someone over
LOVE to the best
Wonderland the Thought TOMARANAI
Merry go round in a dazzling world
LOVE to the best
Wonderland the feelings begin to overflow
Merry go round with someone over
LOVE to the best
Hugging your knees in the corner of your room
You've always shook with anxiety
You were scared to learn the 'truth'
So you closed the door to it
In this tender lie you've found where you belong
So you ran into your dreams
It's a place no one knew about
Where you dye your sea of loneliness to a deep blue
color
You earnestly looked for solitude
And you've hurt your own heart
It seems you'll get sucked into your deep secret eyes
So to your true smile
I'll be the one who'll delivered you tender love
It seems like it'll break if you touch it
But in this warm time let go of your past
I'll always be here with you
So don't get confused by your sad shadows
Just like a child you've searched and admired
everything
But unable to find anything
You've lost sight of what was important to you
Things like common and normal were decorated with
happiness
I want the power to protect you in my hands
So I can go straight to you
There's nothing to be confused about
Floating in front of your eyes is the one answer you
needed
Sketched in the rainbow of dawn is the darkness that
envelops everything
But with a small courageous word
We can cross over it
Even if the future is locked or erased
I won't end this prayer
Because I want to convey my real feelings to you
I'll give you a new beginning
And gently whispering our own promise
Nothing will change it
It's our eternal magic
Even if the future is locked or erased
I'll clearly remember your voice
And how it's used to call my name
Haruka sora hibiite iru inori wa kiseki ni

*Repeat
A snowy flame scorches the heavens
Even if it tears my heart apart
I want to offer it to only you,
The crucifix on my chest
A sleepless, velvet moon
Adorned our clandestine room
With just the two of us, we secretly lock the door
Let’s dance, and succumb ourselves to this mischievous
moment
Like a candle that was gently lit,
Ah… I will make you melt
Vow eternity to me
The chains of love cannot be broken by anyone
Cast a sweet, pure spell on me
Or even a forbidden melody
That only you can forgive me for
I will become wings that soar freely
Catch me…quickly
On a night that has forgotten how to dawn
There is an imprisoned fountain filled with stars
It looks as if it’s quietly praying alone,
“Let’s have a dream, a dream which we will never awaken
from”
Look for me who is bound within the darkness
Ah… Please wrap me right now
With that bewitching fragrance of yours
A snowy flame that soars towards the sky
Even if everything is swallowed by it and disappeared
This painful throbbing
That yearns for only you won’t stop
Both of our mingled souls
Will someday make a miracle happen
Is fate foredestined?
Even if it can’t change
I will breathe a new life into it for you
The chains of love cannot be broken by anyone
Cast a sweet, pure spell on me
Or even a forbidden melody
That only you can forgive me for
I will become wings that soar freely
Accelerated emotion somehow tightens my heart
I can't act normal, thinking too much about you
Your smile is so bright, like the jewels of Andromeda
I'm always smiling, but I'm serious
Why does your existence convert A.I. into ai (love)?
Eternal chaos isn't that bad. All right! Transcending
the future
Emotion bursts, chasing the miracle of Adam and Eve
Ready, go to star heaven, the map tells me it is love
I want to synchronize, but can't keep up
I want to warp the distance between us
The universe is a bit too small to fulfill our dreams
Shining love and galaxy, "I love you" is everywhere
I can't explain it well, but follow me
I'll show you the sky
If I can teleport at this very moment
I want to travel through the galaxy with you
We no longer need things like logic, equations, and
gravity
As long as there is attraction between us All right!
Let's leap through time
Shooting star and crescent moon, let's cross this quiet
Our encounter was destined since the beginning of life
Emotions bursts, chasing the miracle of Adam and Eve
Ready go to star heaven, the map tells me it is love
I want to synchronize, but can't keep up
I want to warp the distance between us
We've been in love since the day the apple fell
Shining love & galaxy, "I love you" is everywhere
I want you to become my everything, just you
