Great post and some great choices...

Great Post!!! Love it! Pink Floyd and Dylan are really classic choices, the Roberta Flack and Stones also excellent; so many great selections.

The ultimate time related album has to be the double album "Zeit" by Tangerine Dream. One track per side of glacial analog synths...amazing (and crazy):

It would be disrespectful not to remember Prince and one of the greatest songs ever, "Sign of the Times":

A bit of Dr. John is always welcome, with "Right Place, Wrong Time":

One of my favourite Neil Young lyrics is "up upon the tower the clock reads daylight savings" but I think you need time in the title so I'll go for "Comes a Time", also a classic:

Then back to some real prog with early Yes and "Time and a Word":

How about "Four Minute Warning" by Radiohead:

Bringing the tone down, some truly rubbish 1980s Styx and "Too much time on my hands" (yeah, a guilty pleasure I admit). Video is so rubbish it is worth watching:

Then to rescue some musical credibility how about Olivier Messiaen's "Quartet for the End of Time"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UeSVu1zbF94

Which leads to the one song you can use your Heuer chrono to check if the performer played it correctly : John Cage's "4mins 33 secs"

Too many to list, could have also gone for:
- Late for the Sky by Jackson Browne
- Midnight Special by Creedance
- I Wasn't Made for these Times by the Beach Boys
- Timedance by Klaus Schulze
- Down in a Tube Station at Midnight the Jam
