and hopefully something from The Coral *fingers crossed*

 

and I'll be massively happy if we get a third The Stone Roses lp, jeez I think I'd explode with happiness if that happened :D

I'm very much looking forward to the new Keane album. Also Muse and the possible MX EP. The rest of my favorite bands have all put out albums in 2011, so they will probably take at least until 2013 to release new stuff...

I'm excited for whatever Muse, the Gallagher brothers, and U2 will release, though I've been waiting for U2s songs of ascent for like 5 years, so I'm gonna try not to hold my breath. Still, I'm sure it will be great when it does come out.

 

Liam says a new Beady eye album is coming but I personally don't think it'll be done this year (hopefully will be though). Noel's albums gonna be great though, I love when artists really push into the realm of experimentation.

 

Edit: oh, and it would be awesome if Blur got back in the studio like some rumor mills have been saying.....

Editors u2 and the new Kaiser chiefs single
