Hi Mike,
Starting month/year is known assuming it is January 2016 .

a!forEach(
items: reverse(1 + enumerate(50) * -1),
expression: text(
eomonth(today(), fv!item),
"mmmm yyyy"
)
)

This may not be the most efficient way of doing it, but it should do the job. Set any date as local!startDate (or make it a rule input so you can pass it in to the expression), and this should return a list of month/years including the current month/year. Obviously make any changes you see fit, but this should get you 95% of the way there. Hope this helps!

load(
  local!startDate: date(2014, 2, 1),
  local!yearDiff: year(today()) - year(local!startDate),
  local!monthDiffTemp: local!month(today()) - month(local!startDate),
  local!totalMonthDiff: if(
    local!monthDiffTemp > 0,
    12 * local!yearDiff + local!monthDiffTemp + 1,
    12 * (local!yearDiff - 1) + local!monthDiffTemp + 13
  ),
  a!forEach(
    items: enumerate(local!totalMonthDiff),
    expression: with(
      local!date: eomonth(local!startDate, fv!item),
      text(local!date, "MMMM yyyy")
    )
  )
)

Do you have anything so far that you can share? Also, how will you specify the starting month/year?
