Its a leap year...therfore U2 should be part of the rumor mill :wink:

There's also been some talk about Green Day finally having a new album ready next year!
 
The only name on the actual release dates list that gets me excited really is Nada Surf, some others have me vaguely interested, not until R.E.M. announces it will 2008 start to be a stellar year. Possible material from U2, R.E.M., Bloc Party, etc.

The Radiohead inclusion would have been of great interest back in September haha.

No Chinese Democracy?

Ha!

Lots of stuff I've never heard of before. I'll very likely pick up the Nada Surf, Death Cab For Cutie, and Green Day. Am glad to see Shelby Lynne has a new album coming out - she's great.

The only thing I can honestly say I'm excited about is the REM release. Oh, and Radiohead - what can I say? I like having a hard copy of a CD. :wink:
 
i must say my son is so excited about a new Greenday album and of course tour to follow... I am too. It will be his first concert (he's 10 yrs old)that I plan on taking him to. :D


I of course, am excited about U2's new one as well.. And well, RH's I have already.. but may get the hard CD for my collection.. And then there is the tour this summer.. :yippie:
 
I read somewhere about a new album from The Killers next year, too. But I can't remember where. It was mentioned in a news story for Sawdust--something about Sawdust being used to bridge the gap between Sam's Town and the new album they were working on that'd be released in 2008.
 
I'm very excited about the new Joe Jackson album
the songs stood up to his best when I saw him live a couple months ago

Stipe mentioned April 1 as the date the new R.E.M. will be released btw :up:
 
aye, the new album will just be him on vocals and piano and the drummer and bass player who he already worked with for ages

the concert was brilliant and the new songs he did then definitely weren't disappointing compared to his fabulous back catalogue
i can't wait :up:

The new My Morning Jacket is rumored to be a sort of 21st century gospel album. :hmm:

Album of the year.


Other than that, I don't know if I'm excited about a whole lot.
 
Hmm, hopefully the new Janet Jackson wont be the same lame arsed soft core porn shit. Then again :drool: Janet Jackson

And I have read there will be a new Ben Folds album, and two new CDs from Barenaked Ladies - a kids record and a new proper album.

Oh - and Robbie Williams has his second 'swing' album out in February and a new studio album is due in October apparently...

Plus Darren Hayes is re-releasing 'This Delicate Thing' as a single disc DVD with tons of videos :drool:
