Maybe add Nadal's 2008 or 2010 to that as possible ones to make the top 10. Federer's 2005 was his best playing level wise IMO, but the big losses put it below 2004, 2006, and even 2007 on paper probably. Federer's 2007 is another possible year, along with Djokovic's 2019 if he keeps going.
I would probably have the top 10 Open Era years in this order:
1. Laver 1969
2. Djokovic 2015
3. McEnroe 1984
4. Federer 2006
5. Connors 1974
6. Borg 1980
7. Djokovic 2011
8. Nadal 2010
9. Borg 1978
10. Borg 1979/Federer 2004
#3-#5 are pretty interchangeable for me, maybe even #2 to #5, as are about #8 to #12.
Other honorable mentions- Wilander 1988, Federer 2007, Sampras 1994, Nadal 2008
