David Bowie's "1984" and "Big Brother" -- in the 70's he tried to make a rock opera based around the book 1984 but the idea got scrapped after Orwell's estate rejected it. What was left over from this project was put on his "Diamond Dogs" album.
Lots of punk rock music is based on the book also. Examples would include the Subhumans' "Big Brother" and the Dead Kennedys used much of the imagery from the book on album covers also.
