We step back to 2004 on this Time Machine.

 A year of great debuts from artists like Franz Ferdinand, & TV on the Radio. Perhaps the coolest collaboration of the year was the Loretta Lynn Van Lear Rose album produced by Jack White. Green Day dropped American Idiot which later became a successful musical & The Walkmen recorded their best known song. It’s all 2004, our year on this Time Machine.
