Will 2011 finally be the year of 'Detox'? How about the year for a new D'Angelo album? (Hey, we can dream, right?)
These days, it seems like more and more artists are cranking out product faster than their fans can download it. (By the time you finish reading this, another Lil Wayne mixtape will be born.) But for a select few, like Dr. Dre (pictured, with Snoop Dogg), release dates are (to paraphrase Douglas Adams) just just those things that make pleasant whooshing sounds as they go flying by. Here are 10 releases that, for various reasons (label drama, studio perfectionism, personal and creative issues), were supposed to have come out ages ago—but might finally see the light of day in 2011. Or not.—Andy Hermann, Metromix
