Much criticised to this day, but GTR sweeps to an easy victory over the rest of the 1986 competition. As chance would have it, while the poll was on, Steve Hackett released a digital single of a new recording of "When the Heart Rules the Mind". Perhaps the album is due a re-evaluation? Frankie's Liverpool was a very distant second.

Failed to vote (again - mea culpa!), but I'd go for Akira Inoue by a country mile over any of the rest of these...
