The Time machine stops in 1987 this time. It was a big year locally with two album sets coming from both Prince and Hüsker Dü. The Replacements issued Pleased to Meet Me, and Kirby Puckett and the Minnesota Twins won the World Series. It was a banner year for Irish artists like U2 who issued The Joshua Tree, and Sinéad O'Connor dropped her debut album. It's all 1987, our year on this episode of the Time Machine.
