The Current's Time Machine Weekend is ready to put another Thanksgiving holiday weekend into the history books.

Starting at 10 a.m. today, we'll feature a different year of music each hour throughout Thanksgiving weekend, from the 1950s to the present.

To get us ready, we want to know three things for today's Coffee Break. What is the best year in music, why, and what song do you want to hear from that year?
