To just change the topic slightly -

1945 was a pretty good year since World War II came to an end.

1957 was a good year for me, although my memory is still a little iffy since that was when I was born.

1969 was a good year.  I remember how cool it was to watch Neil Armstrong take that first step on the moon --------------- although some people still think it didn't really happen.

2057 isn't here yet but I'm positive it is going to be a really good year because that is when I plan to retire.
