1959 - Patti Smith
'74-'75 - Connells (two years-not sure if that counts)
Thanks, worthy additions all.
I'm going to disallow Zager and Evans however for the intrusion of words into the numerical title. Were they in parentheses, maybe; Connells, also a 'no'.
Giant Sand has a 1972, too.
1978 - Liliput
1973 - James Blunt
Keep 'em comin'!
1934 - Connells (this makes up for '74-'75)

This reminds me of a list a friend did years ago of songs that had a cowbell in them - that was hard as well (I can only think of one currently)
Dave Alvin- 1968
I don't know if you're shooting for just the last 100 years or not, but there's a few from history:
1492 - Counting Crows
1865 - Third World

1967 - Adrian Belew
Minus 6-1987
Rancid-1998

How about tribute compilation of groups covering these songs? I'm in!
Fred
1957 David Doucet
I'm not sure even the mighty Rhino could navigate the rights nightmare this list stirs up.
2000 A.D. by The Rezillos from the "Can't Stand the Rezillos" album.
1968 by Dave Alvin from the "Blackjack David" album.
1980- Anti Pasti (
1919 - Ryuichi Sakamoto (not to be confused with John Cale's Paris 1919)
2525 - Zager and Evans
(I know - it's silly, but what the heck!)
1976 - Redd Kross
Wasn't there a year song by those awful Smashing Pumpkins?
Did you mean the Minus Five?
