…the book, not necessarily the year.
If you like George Orwell’s 1984, then you might like the band Muse. Their sound is classified as alternative, but I think you could also call it rock. The vocals are particularly fantastic, there are some incredible electric guitar lines, and they even play off of classical music at times. Overall, their sound is hard to describe but it’s fantastic.
Some of their songs have this rebellious and apocalyptic feel (hence, my association with 1984). A prime example:
Are you already familiar with Muse? Do you think the song matches the book?
If Mermaids Wore Suspenders 
I completely agree! My favorites to listen too when I’m in one of *those* moods are Supermassive Black Hole, Uprising, Mercy, and Madness.

I love Supermassive Black Hole and Uprising, too! I haven’t heard the other ones, though, so I’ll have to check them out!

I think Mercy is my favorite 🙂 And if you like Muse, I’m guessing you like The Killers as well?

I’m not familiar with them! Something else I’ll have to check out. Have you heard Hurts? They remind me of Muse but have somewhat different subject matter. And they’re really good!

Thanks for the recommendation, I really like Hurts, just listened to Wonderful Life! And for the Killers, definitely check out Read My Mind and of course, Mr. Brightside 🙂 Curious to hear what you think!

Perfect song for books like 1984, A Brave New World or Fahrenheit 451.
