Various - 1986 Ein Jahr Und Seine 20 Songs

Review by Dana Ontiveros

1986 Ein Jahr Und Seine 20 Songs: A Time Capsule of Chaos and Charm If you’re someone who digs music that feels like flipping through an old photo album, 1986 Ein Jahr Und Seine 20 Songs is gonna hit different. This compilation by Süddeutsche Zeitung isn’t just some random playlist slapped together—it’s a trip back to ’86, when genres collided like bumper cars at a fairground. You’ve got Hip Hop elbowing Rock while Funk and Soul sip coffee in the corner, all under one roof. It’s messy, it’s bold, and honestly? That’s what makes it unforgettable. Let me start with “There Is A Light That Never Goes Out” by The Smiths because, damn, this track still punches me right in the feels every time. There’s something about Morrissey’s voice—half-heartbroken poet, half-dramatic teenager—that grabs hold of your soul and won’t let go. I remember hearing this during a rainy afternoon last winter, staring out the window like some cliché movie character, thinking about missed chances and stupid mistakes. It’s not cheerful, but it doesn’t need to be. Sometimes sad songs are the ones that stick around longest, ya know? Then there’s “Walk This Way” by Run-D.M.C. and Aerosmith—a total curveball on the album but also kinda genius. Like, how do you even pull off mixing hard rock riffs with hip-hop swagger without sounding like a trainwreck? Somehow they nail it. Every time that guitar riff kicks in, I can’t help but grin like an idiot. It’s raw energy bottled up and shaken till it explodes. Plus, who doesn’t love a good comeback story? This collab basically saved Aerosmith from obscurity, which gives it this scrappy underdog charm. What really struck me about this album though was its vibe. It’s not perfect—it jumps from soft rock ballads to new wave bangers so fast it almost gives you whiplash—but maybe that’s the point. Life in 1986 wasn’t polished or predictable either. People were figuring stuff out as they went along, trying to make sense of Reaganomics, neon spandex, and whatever Madonna was doing. Listening to these tracks feels like eavesdropping on a year where everyone was loud, confused, and kinda brilliant. Oh, and here’s a weird thought: if aliens ever landed and asked us to explain Earth using only this album, would they think we were insane or inspired? Maybe both. Either way, 1986 Ein Jahr Und Seine 20 Songs reminds you that music isn’t just sound—it’s snapshots of moments, moods, and memories stitched together. And yeah, sometimes those stitches show, but that’s part of the beauty too.

Interesting fact about Album

Did you know? The album *1986 Ein Jahr Und Seine 20 Songs* is a fascinating time capsule of music from 1986, curated by Germany’s *Süddeutsche Zeitung*. It blends genres like Hip Hop, Rock, Funk, and Pop into one eclectic mix. What makes it even cooler is that it was released in 2005—almost 20 years later—as a nostalgic tribute to that iconic year. Tracks like *"There Is A Light That Never Goes Out"* by The Smiths and *"Word Up"* by Cameo sit side by side, showing how diverse and vibrant 1986 really was. Plus, the album features detailed sleeve notes by Alexander Gorkow, adding context to each song's story. It’s not just an album; it’s a journey back in time.
