We step back to 2004 on this Time Machine, a year of great debuts from artists like Franz Ferdinand and TV on the Radio. Perhaps the coolest collaboration of the year was Loretta Lynn's Van Lear Rose album produced by Jack White. Green Day released an album that was later developed into a successful musical. Modest Mouse had an unlikely hit, and we first heard the term "wardrobe malfunction." It's all 2004, our year on this Time Machine from The Current.
