@coffeemug @jsr True! He was a rocker, but just barely.

@kralcttam
You've got the lyrics. Next work on the melody...

This is going to be hard to hear, but:
Bryan Adams released "Summer of '69" in 1985. A similar nostalgia-based song released now would be harkening back to the distant and bygone year of 2010.
@jsr Except the Summer of 69 wasn't about 1969, it was about a nonenumerated summer of nymphomania. For all we knew he was singing about 1984.

@coffeemug @jsr I guess unsure if the summer of 69 actually was in the year 69. Random reference: https://americansongwriter.com/the-double-meaning-behind-summer-of-69-by-bryan-adams/

@jsr 2010, the sequel to 2001 a Space Odyssey, is also fun: part of the plot revolves around political tensions between the US and Soviet Union making the crew separate. In the real world, the Soviet Union dissolved 20 years before that year. Also, no manned interplanetary voyages.

@jsr This is going to be hard to hear, but:
Miley Cyrus released "Party in the U.S.A." in 2009, ten years after the first Britney song came on the radio. A similar nostalgia-based song released now would be harkening back to the distant and bygone year of 2016.

@jsr If I could go back, I'd much rather return to 1969 than 2010.

@TheDutchChief @Keab42 @Flamekebab @jsr 2010 was definitely memorable for me.
Was organising an international convention and less than 24h before it started that bastard unpronounceable volcano shut down all of Europe’s airspace.
Fuck 2010.
@Tubemeister @TheDutchChief @Keab42 @Flamekebab @jsr I landed at ORK Ireland the day before and remember spending a bit of each night for 2 weeks worrying about how I would get home.
The countryside was so lush and green that March.

@jsr Prince released "1999" in 1982. And yes, I do remember that. I was 16 at the time (in '82 that is)
Now looking for a song about 2043.

@broken_spark @jsr Things aren't so bad that I'd go back to 1969, that's a dangerous time for so many people.

@jsr Marty McFly’s 1955 would be 1996.
@NotTheLBCGuy
Gone with the Wind's 1865 would be 1952.

@jsr Yeah but according to the boss, 69 is a sex reference, not a year...

Smashing Pumpkins released their song "1979" in January 23, 1996

@jsr in 1969 Bryan Adams was 10. Twas all a lie anyway
@bleistifterin @jsr
That must have been some band, one lad, who must have been held back in primary school, off getting married and a 10 year old who used go to a lot of drive in movies, his bloody little fingers on the steering wheel. -

@ellie @TheDutchChief @Keab42 @Flamekebab @jsr Yeah. We had guests from Australia get stuck in England, one hop away from Amsterdam. And guests who had made it wondering how to get back home.
One person from Finland bought a cheap used car and drove, via Tallinn. Lots of impromptu adventures.
And about a quarter of the guests not making it to the event. That sort of thing tends to stick in your head.
