Sort playlist by name. Which songs are named after years? In my music collection:

• 1969
  
• 1969 (a different band this time!)
  
• 1974

Bonus points to anyone who knows who did most of those songs. (You know who you are. *cough*the_muted_horn*cough*)

i've only got boards of canada's "1969" and meat beat manifesto's "1979".

although gorillaz's "19-2000" might count, just not quite so directly.

[solipsistnation.livejournal.com]

Yeah, there's another 1969, although the version I have here is a cover.

[morgaine-x.livejournal.com]

1959 - The Sisters of Mercy
1969 - Bryan Adams
1984 - Queen
1978 - The Connells (sp?)
Probably all wrong, but anyway.... ;-)

[solipsistnation.livejournal.com]

One out of four is, um... Well, not particularly good, but you got the Sisters, so mad goff props for that. 8)

[morgaine-x.livejournal.com]

Well, that's the only one I own! The others were those little tiny bells ringing in the back of my head, which I always know it's best to ignore. ;-)

[stophittinyrslf.livejournal.com]

they were reasonable guesses though. i mean, you do love bryan adams...

I'll go with Sisters of Mercy for 1959, 1963 and 1969 - my list is: 1959, 1963, 1969, 1979 and 1993.

And since no one else said it:

1963 - New Order (one of my fave songs)

[hirez.livejournal.com]

1969 - Stooges
1984 - Eurythmics
(1977 - The Clash)
(1999 - Prince)
(2112 - Rush)
(2525 - Zager & Evans)
([paris] 1941 - The Three Johns)

[trystero.livejournal.com]

(nit-picking)

The Zager/Evans song is actually titled "In The Year 2525 (Exordium & Terminus)", so strictly speaking it doesn't count. Same with the Eurythmics track, which is titled "Sexcrime (Nineteen Eighty-Four)".

[trystero.livejournal.com]

Hmmm. "1959" is The Sisters of Mercy, "1963" is New Order, "1969" is The Stooges (original) and The Sisters of Mercy (cover), "1974" is Robyn Hitchcock, and "1984" is David Bowie. How'm I doing so far? :-)

I don't recognise "1978", though: should I?

Lessee... from my own collection, I can add another (entirely different, not a cover) "1984", plus "1979", "1917" and "1916". And I know of, but don't own, a song entitled "2112". Oh, and let's also add "1999": duh!

1992 - Blur

1999

Due to your nod to doug, I am going to guess that our 1974 songs are teh same (by Robyn Hitchcock)

[sauergeek.livejournal.com]

I have only 2112. Of your list, I only recognize Bowie's 1984.

[ronebofh.livejournal.com]

I bet it's really Van Halen's 1984.
