Oh, and no Invisible Touch? :/

Edit: Wait, are you sure Ambient 4 was released in 1986?

OK if we're all going to talk about our '86 collections, here's mine:
 
Skylarking
The Smiths - The Queen Is Dead (my actual choice outside of this poll)
Talk Talk - The Colour of Spring
 
And...looks like that's it. Not a favorite year of mine it seems.

Forgot about "Somewhere In Time" by IRON MAIDEN.Thanks Dean.
SHUB-NIGGURATH is pretty incredible too from that year.

XTC gets my vote again and Skylarking really is a masterwork (probably the main album of theirs, alongside Apple Venus, for which one could make a mildly reasonable argument for XTC's slight progginess).

Tibbets's Exploded View is another love from the list.

Some other interesting albums from the year 1986:

The Mice Scooter
Dif Juz Extractions
The Chameleons Strange Times
Robyn Hitchcock and the Egyptians Element of Light
Throwing Muses's debut
R.E.M. Life's Rich Pageant
The Smiths The Queen is Dead
The damage that we do is just so powerfully strong we call it love

The damage that we do just goes on and on and on but not long enough.

From the list Wyatt's "Old Rottenhat" and TD's "Underwater Sunlight" stand out.
Overall UNIVERS ZERO's "Heatwave" and FATES WARNING's "Awaken The Guardian".

My 1986 only crosses over with yours in Zappa's Jazz from Hell.  I've been meaning to get the Wyatt and the Tangerine Dream as well, but it hasn't happened yet.

Apparently, my 1986 is much different then yours.  Only Peter Gabriel's So, Paul Simon's Graceland, and Andy Summers XYZ appear within my collection.  Thus, not enough data for me to offer a vote.

Continuing with my the 1980's weren't so bad series of polls.

And as always feel free to suggest others.
Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...
