A list of the best indie songs of 1986 has been published. However, it appears there may be some confusion or variation in the specific focus of the list, with some outlets reporting on the best indie songs or albums of different years, including 1987 and 1979, or of different decades, such as the 1990s. Additionally, some outlets have published lists of top songs of 1986, but with varying numbers of entries, including 40 and 100.
