The Time Machine moves forward to 2007 this week; St. Vincent emerged with her first album, while Arcade Fire returned with their highly anticipated second album; Spoon made one of their finest, and sadly, it was the year of the final album from the White Stripes.

It's 1975 this time, a year of huge albums: it was the year of the two-album set from Led Zeppelin called "Physical Graffiti"; recent birthday boy Bruce Springsteen issued "Born to Run"; Fleetwood Mac released their self-titled album; and Bob Dylan dropped "Blood on the Tracks."

Time Machine stops in 1986 this time; it was the year we first learned of Beastie Boys; the Bangles had a big hit, as did Prince, who issued his "Parade" album. And Paul Simon took a trip to Graceland.

Description:It's 1992 this time, a pretty fantastic year locally: The Jayhawks issued one of their finest, Hollywood Town Hall; for Babes in Toyland, it was Fontanelle; Bob Mould's trio Sugar dropped their Copper Blue album; for Prince, it was the Love Symbol album; and Soul Asylum dropped the big one, Grave Dancers Union.

Time Machine stops again in 1968; couldn't get to all those songs last week, so we're going to do it again! We'll hear songs from The Band and Neil Young; Waylon Jennings, Loretta Lynn, and a couple great instrumentals, one from Booker T and the MGs and the other from South African trumpet player Hugh Masekela.

It's 1968 this time, a big year in the history books and a big year in music. There were timeless albums by the Rolling Stones, who issued Beggars Banquet, and it was the year fo the Beatles' white album. There were songs from Merle Haggard, Aretha Franklin and Janis Joplin on the radio. And Jimi Hendrix was a force to be reckoned with.

The Time Machine stops in 1958 this time; lots of activity at Sun Studio in Memphis with music from Johnny Cash and Jerry Lee Lewis. Meanwhile downriver in New Orleans, Fats Domino was a hit machine. There were still big-band sounds on the radio with tracks from Ella Fitzgerald and Frank Sinatra, and there were huge instrumentals from Duane Eddy and Link Wray.

The Time Machine makes a stop in 1971 this time. It was the year of the self-titled debut from John Prine. David Bowie issued Hunky Dory. And there were classics like Led Zeppelin IV and Sticky Fingers from the Rolling Stones. And Marvin Gaye's powerful masterpiece What's Going On was released.

For this episode, the Time Machine stops in 1985. It was a big year around Minneapolis with the Replacements releasing the "Tim" album; Camper Van Beethoven took the skinheads bowling, and they didn't throw a gutter ball. Fishbone partied at Ground Zero, and Prince made probably his most psychedelic pop album.

This time, It's 2005, the year The Current first hit the airwaves. You'll hear artists like Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings, the White Stripes were still a band, Spoon released one of their finest, and it was the year of the debut of LCD Soundsystem.
