The Time Machine visits 1984, a great year in pop-music history for artists like Prince, Madonna, and Bruce Springsteen. Van Halen jumped into mega-stardom while adding synthesizers -- and Tina Turner re-introduced herself to us, stronger than ever. Meanwhile, U2 and R.E.M. and The Replacements were the heroes of college radio. It was also when we first got to know Sade.
