I'm getting all of these. except maybe for Oasis. I haven't liked anything
or pretty much heard anything from them in ages but I'm curious as to what
they've come up with this time round.

Portishead, I won't believe until I'm actually listening to it.

Ryan Adams, more prolific than Prince, 4 albums this year.
