Help with themed playlist

[_JC_]

I'm having a time travel themed party and would like to only play songs that have either historical or time themed subject matter. Strong preference towards pop and rock due to it being for a party (folk is a history goldmine).

Some examples would be; Stones - Sympathy for the Devil, Decemberists - Legionnaires Lament, Boney M - Rasputin.

Help a bro out.

 

[Eddie Dingle]

Abba - Waterloo
Boomtown Rats - I don't like Mondays
Don Maclean - The Day the music died.
Gil Scott-Heron - The revolution will not be televised.
U2 - Pride (in the name of love)
Prince - 1999


That's off the top of my head in about a minute, you should be able to find thousands if you try.
