What albums is everyone most looking forward to that are expected to be released this year? Here are some of mine-

Wolf Parade
The New Pornographers – Challengers
Architecture In Helsinki – Places Like This
The Go! Team – Proof of Youth
Hot Hot Heat – Happiness Ltd
Kanye West – Graduation
Tapes ‘N Tapes
Gnarls Barkley
Hot Chip

And there's also the possibility of a new Radiohead album this year so there's definitely a lot of good music still to come in '07.

MIA- Kala
Imperial Teen- The Hair,The TV, The Baby And The Band
New Pornographers- Challengers
Go! Team- Proof of Youth
Chamillionare- Ultimate Victory
Iron and Wine- Shepherds Dog

Other TBA releases that might come out this year:

Band of Horses
Built To Spill
Basement Jaxx
Doves
Lupe Fiasco
Gang of Four????
Adam Green
Michael Jackson
Stephen Malkmus
Radiohead???
Wu Tang Clan

All based on Metacritic upcoming releases...most of those TBA's probably won't see the light of day in 2007. If they do we're in for a big fall/winter, considering I didn't even list a bunch of other big names.

The most expected by me :

The Go! Team
Richard Hawley
Super Furry Animals
The Coral
Kula Shaker
Bleu
Animal Collective
Josh Rouse

2007 kicks major ass so far. There are already 5 absolute classics in my estimation, in addition to some other really good albums. Others that I'm anticipating:

Prince- Planet Earth
Annie Lennox- Songs of Mass Destruction
Annie
The Cure
Wolf Parade
Madonna
Roxy Music?

I'd like to see a new Fiona Apple record. I hear she's ready to release something but what else is new with Fiona Apple. I think the Go! Team are ready for superstardom and will have the best reviewed album of the year. Mark my words
