2012 Upcoming Music

[TrueFaith77]

I know that everybody here has a wide variety of music tastes, so I thought it would be interesting to create a thread that acted as a hub of upcoming music releases for which you are excited. It might provide tips shared fans didn't know or even introduce a fav artist to a newbie.

I have assembled a list of music releases for 2012. These are pretty much confirmed or semi-confirmed (beyond the rumour stage).

Rumoured releases (in addition to those below) would include: Iris Dement!!!! Scritti Politti!!! Stevie Nicks!! Michael Jackson! Jay-Z! Jay-Z & Kanye West! Madness! Neil Young! The Other Two! ... and of course there will be surprises!!!!

So keep an ear out!
