Tom Dunne: 20 years on and 2004 looks a bit of a mixed bag

Tom Dunne reflects on 2004 — from Pete Doherty to The Killers and Kings of Leon.

Twenty years since the Franz Ferdinand debut, The Libertines’ second, The Streets’ A Grand Don’t Come for Free, Razorlight’s Up All Night, and Kanye West's first solo offering.
