The Time Machine makes a stop in 1985 this time, the year Tears for Fears’ Songs from the Big Chair album hit number one on both sides of the pond. Prince made his most psychedelic album of his career. Aretha Franklin had her 20th number-one R&B hit. Supergroup the Power Station dropped their debut, as did Til Tuesday. It was the year New Coke came and went. It's all 1985, our year on Time Machine Tuesday.
