Times were different back then, that\u2019s for sure. And many a young rock fan got treated to some amazing rock songs in 1986, many of which they probably heard for the first time while at the mall. Let\u2019s look at just a few mall-friendly jams, shall we?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGlory Of Love\u201d by Peter Cetera from \u2018Solitude\/Solitaire\u2019<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\tPlay video<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/1790530449_210_hqdefault.jpg\" alt=\"Play\"\/><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you were a fan of the second Karate Kid movie, you definitely remember this song. But even if you weren\u2019t into martial arts dramas, you probably still remember this mall-friendly <a href=\"https:\/\/americansongwriter.com\/tag\/soft-rock\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">soft rock<\/a> song, considering it was massively popular in 1986.<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\tVideos by American Songwriter\t\t<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cGlory Of Love\u201d by Chicago\u2019s own Peter Cetera peaked at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, and also topped the Adult Contemporary chart as well.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAddicted To Love\u201d by Robert Palmer from \u2018Riptide\u2019<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\tPlay video<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/1790530451_516_hqdefault.jpg\" alt=\"Play\"\/><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This rock classic has that smooth, sexy, guitar-driven sound that was hugely popular in 1986. And it was palatable enough to be aired on mall and shopping center speakers that year.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAddicted To Love\u201d by Robert Palmer topped the Hot 100 chart shortly after it was released. The song was also a success in the UK. There, it made it to No. 5 on the UK Singles chart.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cStuck With You\u201d by Huey Lewis And The News from \u2018Fore!\u2019<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\tPlay video<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/1790530452_627_hqdefault.jpg\" alt=\"Play\"\/><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">How about a little bit of pop-rock and doo-wop mixed together? This entry on our list of 1986 rock songs you heard at the mall is, in my opinion, the most \u201cmall shopping soundtrack\u201d song ever. That\u2019s not a dig, either. \u201cStuck With You\u201d by Huey Lewis And The News is a chill classic floating in a sea of much more intense hard rock tunes that made it far on the charts that year.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cStuck With You\u201d by Huey Lewis And The News topped the Hot 100 chart and reached the Top 20 across the board globally. Co-writer Chris Hayes penned the tune with Huey Lewis. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=aNb4jGORZEo&amp;t=4211s\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">He once said<\/a> that the song was inspired by Donald Fagen\u2019s 1982 jam \u201cI.G.Y. (What A Beautiful World)\u201d. You can really hear it in the song\u2019s structure.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Photo by Chris Walter\/WireImage<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Remember shopping with your friends at the mall, way back in 1986?
