FEATURE:
The Digital Mixtape
Songs from Albums Turning Forty in 2026
__________
DEEP into this run…
of features focusing on albums that have big anniversaries coming up next year, and it takes me now to 1986. The fortieth is quite a significant anniversary, so it has been interesting seeing which albums of 1986 are going to turn forty in 2026. We have classics from Janet Jackson, Peter Gabriel, Madonna, and Paul Simon among them. I was a few years old by the end of 1986, so I don’t really remember a lot of the music from then. However, I feel like it had an impact on me. The earliest memories of my life. In fact, I get hazy memories of hearing bits of albums from 1986. In any regard, it is a time to celebrate a colossal year in music. One of the very best, in fact! I am sure that you will find much to love…
