My Most Anticipated Albums of 2009

1) No Doubt - Title TBD

Release Date: Spring

"You can't think of 1990s music without thinking of No Doubt and their musical influence on that era. I can still see lead singer Gwen Stefani's bleach blond locks and ruby lips belting out tunes in "Don't Speak." Their unmatchable style is not just for the record books, though. The quartet is set to start touring soon, so be sure to purchase tickets before they're all sold out. You won't want to miss a reunion like this."



2) U2 - No Line on the Horizon — The Irish giants' 12th studio album finds them reteaming with production wizards Daniel Lanois, Brian Eno and Steve Lillywhite for what has been described as a throwback to 1991's rocking Achtung Baby



3) The Fray - 'The Fray'

Release Date: Feb. 3

"No matter how many times I watch "Scrubs" or "Grey's Anatomy," I can't help but fall in love with The Fray all over again. This Grammy-nominated foursome is best known for their catchy sound and heartfelt lyrics. Their latest single, "You Found Me," has already been playing on radio airwaves for a few weeks now, which is just a tiny taste of what the group is sure to bring with their new album. With their new self-titled release, expect to see them on the Billboard charts a lot in 2009."



4)Green Day, TBA — How do you follow up American Idiot? We'll find out this summer when the pop-punkers-turned-concept-album-kings unleash their Butch Vig (Nirvana) produced album

5)Kelly Clarkson - 'All I Ever Wanted'

Release Date: March 17

After parting ways with her management in 2007 and going through some very public changes musically, Clarkson returns with her fourth studio album, "All I Ever Wanted." The former "American Idol" winner worked alongside OneRepublic's lead singer Ryan Tedder to produce the collection. Clarkson has always had an edgy, yet enduring quality about her voice and as long as that hasn't changed, she's sure to have fans welcoming her back with open arms.

6) K-OS - Yes!



7)Eminem, Relapse — Speaking of comebacks, Slim Shady is prepping one after almost five years out of the game, with Dre reportedly helping out on most of the album.

8) Lindsay Lohan, Spirit in the Dark — The actress' third album has been described as a dance/hip-hop affair with production from J.R. Rotem, Stargate, The-Dream and Timbaland.

9)Third Eye Blind - 'Ursa Major'

Release Date: February

This group has come a long way since their early "Semi-Charmed Life" days, but they still have not lost the capability to make music that will touch your soul. There have been a few growing pains along the way, like a six-year hiatus and bassist Arion Salazar's absence from the group, but "Ursa Major" will likely be on shuffle in every college student's iPod next month.

10) Black Eyed Peas, The E.N.D. — Described as a musical "diary," the latest from the hip-hop group will reportedly be a constantly evolving project that is frequently updated.
