Help me out if you can think of any more.

Cool idea for a list. Two suggestions:

1972 - Josh Rouse
1984 - Van Halen

Good list. One more suggestion:

1977 - The Clash

It'll mess up the format, but how about:

Wings - "Nineteen Hundred and Eighty Five"

2112- Rush

Another great idea. Might I suggest:

1985 - The French Kicks
1969 - Boards of Canada

Plus Sisters of Mercy covered "1969" and Mission of Burma covered "1970" by the Stooges. (But that's sort of cheating.)

How about Summer of '69 - Bryan Adams!

Here's an album referencing a specific year - Naughty By Nature - 19Naughty5.

Saul Williams has a song entitled "1987". And Los Natas did one called "2002".

1974 - Robyn Hitchcock
