Tonight We’re Gonna Party Like It’s 1999: Songs About Years

It was the Summer of Sixty-Nine. Bryan got his first real six-string. Formed a band at school. Jody left their band to get married. Bryan was nine.

 

You could have gone for a double & reprised Zager & Evans In The Year 2525 from the 'lists' thread...

 

One could argue the "Football's Coming Home" song by Skinner, Baddiel and the Lightning Seeds should be in here, it started off with 30 years of hurt and as each iteration goes it gets bigger!

 

It's the same old theme
Since nineteen sixteen

 

Underrated.

 

Underrated:

 

Would have been my next. But what is it about?

 

Dunno. Always loved it, though.

 

The ‘59 Sound, The Gaslight Anthem.

 

Aw. Was saving that for Have you seen my wife Mr Jones? Songs about being stuck in a mine with no hope of rescue.

 

I assume this is about years

 

Absolutely brilliant album track by MSP. The guitar, sheer noise and energy in the last minute of the track .......
Play really loud.....

 

I’ll play.
A Jr High favorite from Canadian Rockers Rush:

 

One piece at a time "Johnny Cash"

Well it's a '49 '50 '51 '52 '53 '54 .......... automobile

 

One of their best songs, from one of their worst albums.

 

Beware the savage jaw, of 1984.

 

Oh what a night, late December back in 63,
Was a very special time for me,
What a lady, was your mum.

 

Damn, should “of” thought of this. Classic.

 

Another “39”, one of the best tracks from the criminally underrated Cure album “Bloodflowers”….

 

About the year 2049 … which isn’t actually that far away

 

It’s not strictly about a year but set in a specific era ie 19C as sail turned to steam .

 

Not sure what the year was but it’s was definitely the 3rd of December

 

I’ll see your Bryan Adam’s and raise you a Stooges . Probably one of the first ever punk tracks

 

Sad one this , set in 1914

 

And this one set in 1915, from one of the great story tellers Shane Macgowan ( written by Eric Bogle)
