Lindsey Buckingham and R.E.M. Not so sure about Stevie Nicks. The proof will be in the pudding, as it were.

Here are the ones I'm looking forward to:

1.) Stevie Nicks - "In Your Dreams" - most excited about! I think Stevie sounds terrific on "Secret Love" and can't wait to hear the rest of the album.

2.) Roxette - "Charm School" - also really excited about... It's their first new studio album in 10 years, and I am excited to hear Marie Fredriksson's voice on the album. I have heard her since her battle with her brain tumor passed, but her voice has slowly been regaining strength over the past few years... and with studio magic and always superb production from Mr. Gessle and his cohorts, I have high expectations. Much like Stevie, for quite a few years, it was assumed there would never be a new Roxette album.

3.) Lindsey Buckinghams - "?" - can't wait to see what he's come up with this time!

4.) Rush - "Clockwork Angels" - they are going back in the studio to finish a couple more songs, but they've been working on this one for awhile from what I've read... should be interesting.

5.) Sophie Ellis-Bextor - "Make A Scene" - this is another one that's been delayed for awhile... hopefully it will live up to her previous albums... I'm not a BIG lover of dance/pop stuff, but I like her voice a lot.

6.) Blackfield - "Welcome To My DNA" - anything Steven Wilson (of Porcupine Tree) does interests me.. I don't always love all of it, but I'm curious to hear this new collaboration (they've released 2 decent albums under this moniker previously that have some really nice highlights).

I'm curious... as a Rush fan, what have you thought about the Rush albums of the past 20 or so years? I was the biggest Rush fan as a kid. Totally geeked out on Neil Peart's lyrics. So... it seems that their last decent album was Presto in 1989 (or 90?), and then each album sucked more than the one that came before. I couldn't even listen to their last album; it was soooo awful. I still think they are phenomenal musicians, but the music is such drivel now.

Ooohh! I had heard they were doing a new album but had forgotten about it! I like the title too - very old school Roxette. Do we have a release date? I'm also hoping for a tour!

[Fiver]

Radiohead (TBA)
Paul Simon (April 12th)
AKUS (April 12th)
Eisley (March 1st)

Besides Stevie and Lindsey I have no idea when any of my favorites are releasing new albums. I don't read up on that stuff anymore. Almost daily I download new singles from many artists. I listen to them for a week and then move on. There is tons of new music to enjoy. I like a song from the first listen or I don't, it's that simple. That is why I already tossed Secret Love in the trash.

For me listening to a song is a much different experience than this, sometimes it takes me many listens to feel, or understand. There are some songs I have trashed instantly, and then heard them later on down the road, & I'm thinking, "Omg, I should have gave that another chance.. it's amazing." I used to go by first listen, back when all I wanted to hear was catchy tunes & I went through that only-listen-to-pop-music-phase. *shudder

Also, I forgot to add Avril Lavigne's (Goodbye Lullaby), and Britney's, now that Artemis has mentioned it. I heard somewhere that Iron & Wine's was coming out on January 25th, hehe, my birthday Also I heard Coldplay & ZZ Top, Aerosmith, No Doubt & Nickelback & BLONDIE all have albums coming out ..so those ones are exciting!

[ButterCookie]

Uh, BLONDIE!!

Is Bowie working on new stuff?
Kate Bush if the rumours are true.
