2008 was a huge year for rock ... and 2009 looks like it could be even bigger. So all this week, we're taking stock of the things guaranteed to rock this year. From the triumphant returns of some of the biggest bands on the planet to a handful of up-and-coming acts that we're expecting big things from in '09, we've got it all covered. This is Rock Week, on MTVNews.com
No Doubt are being selfish and won't release an album until 2010.
I'm excited for pretty much any band not listed in this article (Deftones, Lacuna Coil, Flyleaf, Static-X, Marilyn Manson, Poison the Well, 311, the three solo albums from remaining members of Korn)
However ... AFI > everything else. Also I do think Flyleaf are going to have a huge seller on their hands.
