And now over to another guessing game involving initials.

Initials are SO last week. It's all about asterisks these days.

Presumably the bands/artists are the asterisks Swanny ?

 

[Swanaldo]

Yes sorry, the asterisks are the bands, the crossword style numbers are the song titles and the years are the years. The theme should reveal itself before too long.

Point of order there Swanny. I had dismissed Iron Maiden as an answer as there were SEVEN asterisks for the second word in the band's name ! Humph !
