    Here’s some more ‘Cool Albums’ from 1986. And some that Wendy played as well!

    • Wendy

      While I don’t wish to debate what makes an album, or anything, “cool”, I will (somewhat defensively!) note that I played 7 of the 11 albums listed on that site.

      • http://todayscoolalbumoftheday.wordpress.com Larry Carta

        Wendy, I thought your playlist on this day was great! I was just trying to highlight some others that might have been played but I know time doesn’t allow everything. It was not a shot at you by any means.

  • Michael

    Where was the Van Halen? 5150 was a MONSTER album.

    • Wendy

      Let’s agree to disagree on that one!

  • I.K.

    Flashback ’86 always takes me back to my early childhood in Minneapolis, recapturing fond memories of simpler times. Even though I was only a year old, I remember it very well, thanks to my parents bringing me up properly.

    If only it was doubled to 8 hours, here are just 25 additional songs for the second half of the 25th year anniversary salute to 1986:
    -Don’t Give Up – Peter Gabriel
    -Begin The Begin – R.E.M.
    -Love For Sale – Talking Heads
    -Freedom Overspill – Steve Winwood
    -Under African Skies – Paul Simon
    -Home Town – Joe Jackson
    -Uncomplicated – Elvis Costello
    -She’s A Runaway – BoDeans
    -More Than I Can Stand – Robert Cray
    -On The Western Skyline – Bruce Hornsby & The Range
    -The Boy With The Thorn In His Side – The Smiths
    -Thorn In My Side – Eurythmics
    -Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood – Elvis Costello
    -Room Full Of Mirrors – Pretenders
    -Everywhere I Go – The Call
    -Time And Time Again – The Smithereens
    -Swallowed By The Cracks – David & David
    -Wrap It Up – The Fabulous Thunderbirds
    -Someday – Steve Earle
    -Ivory Tower – Van Morrison
    -Cry For Love – Iggy Pop

  • Tim

    Wendy; I have a suggestion for tomorrows flashback (1969). A song I have not heard played on XRT for maybe 20-25 years! An under appreciated jem from The Beach Boys 20/20 album.
    “Cabinessence”

    Thanks ;
    Ted, a 60 old,old time listener.

    • I.K.

      Cool, Ted! “Cabinessence” is such a great song! I think the Beach Boys post-Pet Sounds era is very under appreciated, it really proves that they were far more than just a surf and cars band. And I’m only 25.

  • john

    Great show Wendy…especially te end with Johnny Winter and Boz Scaggs playing Loan Me a Dime with Duanne Allman soaring on slide guitar. Thanks for making Saturday mornings the best on XRT. Hope I don’t get Terri mad cause Breakfast with the Beatles is fantastic too.

  • MIke
