The Time Machine stops in 1996 this time; that was the year of "If You're Feeling Sinister" from Belle & Sebastian, who will play the Minnesota Zoo this summertime. It was the year of the debut from Beth Orton. Wilco issued its second album, a two-album set, "Being There." And it was the year of Beck's biggest album.

This week on Time Machine, Bill DeVille takes us back to the year 1965. We'll hear tunes by Bob Dylan, The Beatles, James Brown, Roger Miller, The Rolling Stones and more.

It's 1977 this time; it was a year of big-selling albums from Fleetwood Mac, who issued "Rumours," and there was the "Saturday Night Fever" soundtrack. Bob Marley and the Wailers released one of their finest albums. And it was the year of Elvis Costello's first album.

It's 1988 this time; Leonard Cohen issued "I'm Your Man." It was the year of the Waterboys' masterpiece, "Fisherman's Blues." Patti Smith re-emerged with "Dream of Life." And the ultimate supergroup was born: it was the Traveling Wilburys, featuring Jeff Lynne, George Harrison, Tom Petty, Bob Dylan and Roy Orbison.

This time it's 2002 - host Bill DeVille thinks quite a few of these tracks will make the 893 Essential Songs of the 2000s list: from artists like Wilco, Coldplay, the Flaming Lips. And it was the year Johnny Cash recorded an old Nine Inch Nails tune to huge success.

This time it's 1990; the Replacements and Uncle Tupelo were still around - but barely. Paul Simon was still exploring those African rhythms. Depeche Mode released one of their biggest albums. And Chris Isaak had a haunting hit.

The year is 1993. Liz Phair issued her answer to The Rolling Stones' "Exile on Main Street", Uncle Tupelo released their swan song, and Radiohead made their debut.

This time we take the Wayback Machine to 1961. Ray Charles was at the top of his game; Ben E. King had his biggest hit; Elvis Presley was making movies. Patsy Cline was still with us and had her biggest year.
