1986 was one heck of a year. The very first The Legend of Zelda video game was released on Nintendo; the UK's Q music magazine launched; Alex Ferguson began his long and successful tenure as Manchester United's manager; and Aliens, Top Gun and Labyrinth (with David Bowie's magnificent Jareth the Goblin King) all hit the cinemas and became forever embedded in our cultural consciousness.
On the music side, Berlin took our breath away while Lionel Ritchie insisted that love will conquer all, Metallica unleashed Master of Puppets to the delight of shred-heads everywhere, while musical legends Prince, Janet Jackson and Whitney Houston rubbed shoulders with one-hit wonders from Peter Cetera (Glory of Love), Cutting Crew (I Just Died In Your Arms) and the Madonna-sampling Europop ray of sunshine that was Holiday Rap by MC Miker G and DJ Sven.
