This week on our deep dive into 1986, Tim takes us to a random day in August '86 to celebrate and discuss a community ravaged by HIV and AIDS. While the epidemic is one of the most important and heartbreaking stories of the 1980s, this episode attempts to highlight both the joy brought by some of the year's best songs, and those who rallied for and were a big part of the LGBTQ+ community during a challenging time.

This week on our deep dive into 1986, Chris wants us to take a trip around the world. Errr, sort of. There's a lot of Britain and U.S. here. But the idea is to feature songs about places. Errr, sort of. You'll get the B-52s, the Beastie Boys, Frank Zappa, Madonna and the Housemartins (for some reason).

This week on our deep dive into 1986, Tim explores late nights, red wine, blazing fires and a lot of SEX, BABY. It's time to settle into a long evening of the Quiet Storm. We're talking Luther, Chaka, Anita, Smokey, Aretha, and five other artists. SEX.

This week, Chris goes big into greed. We're looking at songs with the theme of "I Want It Now," and in case you don't know, the "It" is, uh, sex. Get ready for some Nu Shooz, Huey Lewis and the News, Poison and Eddie Money. It's the Big '80s, baby!

This week we launch a level-201 course in Divorcecore, a genre created by JD Ryznar of "Beyond Yacht Rock" about a decade ago. Here Tim runs through songs from 1986 that spoke to the overwhelming sadness and passive aggression of white male issues. There's plenty of searching guitar, brooding vocals, glossy synth productions ... and Phil Collins.

This week we discuss very selfish country songs, tunes that only want to "talk about me." It's a good way to get a lay of the land in 1986 country music, and we'll hear from stars like George Strait, Reba McEntire, Randy Travis and Lyle Lovett, among others. Plus, we'll check in with The Nashville Network and their programming.

Mitch Ryder broke through with a blue-eyed growl in the 1960s, bringing a hard-edged and sultry Detroit sound to blues-based rock. But in 1967 his career was at a sudden crossroads, so he wrote a song inspired by his daughter. What followed was, in many ways, the end of Ryder's career as a hitmaker.

This is The Almost Famous, a podcast about songs that peaked at No. 41 on the Billboard Hot 100.
