Wow I didn't know the majority of your list was releasing new material. I knew that Kanye was being released this week, but I'll be on the look out for Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, Weezer, Blink, GN'R, Gwen Stefani, Iggy Azalea, Incubus, Gaga, Metallica, U2, and Usher. Some of the others I'm on the fence about. Hopefully some appear on Amazon Music so I can listen to them before buying their albums.
BaD Tuesday: Tunes Wishlist 2016

Notice the alliteration theme with these daily wishlists.
From "List of 2016 albums" on Wikipedia, here are my most anticipated:
Blackstar by David Bowie:
It's already out and I'm somewhat ashamed to say this will be my first Bowie album as well, but "Lazarus" is a damn good song. Just sucks this part of his success has to be posthumous.
I believe the video beat a record held by Adele's "Hello" for most viewed on YouTube in a 24-hour period, or some similar record.
Panic! at the Disco Death of a Bachelor
Panic! has changed their sound since I last heard their pop-punk stylings and I believe are heavier now? I'm not saying I will buy this, but I'm curious.
I ... have kind of lost interest in Megadeth's new stuff, but I'll listen to see what I think.
Elton John Wonderful Crazy Night
When I worked classic hits at the radio station, I realized I like a lot more Elton John than I would have guessed, so I'll be listening to see if I might like this.
He's a jackass, but I do like a lot of his music. Again, not a definite purchase like BLACKSTAR, but another artist I'll be interested to hear.
Yoko Ono Yes, I'm a Witch Too
I'm curious how bad this will be, to be honest. Maybe not at all, who knows?
I don't really know much of this band outside of "Mother," which I believe appears on Guitar Hero.
Had no idea they were releasing a new one. I should own at least something by them, since a guy named Joey is one of their key members. Good name ...
Macklemore & Ryan Lewis This Unruly Mess I've Made
I need to get a Kendrick Lamar album too, so my CD changer isn't SO white, but Macklemore & Ryan Lewis helped get me through a rough 2013 and I find their music interesting.
Didn't know they had something new either. Sounds good to my ears!
Iggy Pop is one of those classic punkers I either like or hate depending on the song and how much melody is there. I'll be keeping an ear out.
Asking Alexandria The Black
I want to say I enjoyed them live at Warped Tour a while back.
Bon Jovi This House Is Not for Sale
Yeah, I like Bon Jovi. Sue me.
I for one enjoy both old and new Weezer.
To be honest, "Fly" might be the only Deftones I ever really listened to, but enough of my usic-loving friends lov this band that I feel obligated to at least listen
Another rapper I think is a jackass, but I liked "hotline bling" and thought the video for it was marketing genius. Not sure if that song is on this one or his last one though.
Cyndi Lauper Detour
I like a lot of her older stuff. Criticize me for it and I'll email you a video of me dancing to "Girls Just Want to Have Fun." How's that for blackmail?
DevilDriver Trust No One
LOVE me some Devildriver, particularly "NOt All Who Wander Are Lost" and "Clouds Over California." Saw them live Ozzfest '08. Will definitely be checking this out.
Lacuna Coil Delirium
Some female-led heavy metal IIRC. Looks like May has a lot of releases that interest me. In that there are 3 releases, 100% of which interest me to some degree.
The Monkees Good Times
Wait, what? As in that band my mom liked that everyone said was a Beatles rip offf?Well now I'm intrigued.
That was all stuff with set release dates through July. From the TBA and unscheduled list:
Afro Celt Sound System The Source
Never heard of them, but their name has me wanting to listen.
I actually prefer them from when they "sold out" on. 
Bad Religion TBA
OH HELL YES. Heck, if they do another release of their whole discography on vinyl, I'll just buy that ... and a record player. I can never have enough BR, Dr. Greg Graffin, PhD is a huge inspiration to me.
I grew up listening to them and am glad they got someone new so they could keep going. Angels and Airwaves is just not my style.
Never really liked them enough to buy an album, but I won;t change the station when their singles come on. We'll see about this new one.
This one is pure curiosity, since I've grown to appreciate pop more as I've gotten older.
Danzig TBA
I have his self-titled and like a couple songs, so this is another I'll be looking out for but might not necessarily get.
Gorillaz TBA
I really need to get their old stuff. They were part of the soundtrack for The Big Short, and it made me nostalgic.
Guns N' Roses TBA
I didn't hate Chinese Democracy, and recetly learned they were getting origina; members back togetehr. So if the originals release an album, I'm intrigued.
Gwen Stefani TBA
I like her solo work as well as No Doubt. Speaking of whom, I still need to see about their recent release.
Hellyeah TBA
Haven't bought a disc yet, but their concert is one of the most insane I have been to.
Pure curiosity
Incubus TBA
Another band from when I was growing up I haven't really heard in a while, but I've always liked their singles
Lady Gaga TBA
I'm actually a big fan of hers. Hate all you want, she's most of the reason I've become more accepting of pop. She did a bang-up job of the National Anthem at Super Bowl 50, too, while dressed as Effie from Hunger Games.
Linkin Park TBA
There seems to be this hate for their first couple albums and subsequent love for their subsequent albums among music critics. I feel the opposite. I'm curious which LP this will be. I've grown away from their music ever since after Meteoria and don't really return, but I'll give them a chance.
M83 TBA
Their single from 2012 was one of my favorites that year and they have an interesting sound. I appreciated the sax solo in that one, too.
Metallica TBA
I own all of their regular studio CDs pretty much up to Death Magnetic, why stop now?
Modest Mouse TBA
Another one from when I was in high school or before that I've always appreciated.
Nine Inch Nails TBA
Everyone knows NIN. I am lukewarm on them overall, but I like Trent Reznor's style.
The Offspring TBA
Started out on the Epitaph label started by guitarist Brett Gurrewitz and then majorly blew up in the 90s and 00s. I have their best of and one other, so I'll keep an ear out for this.
Pearl Jam TBA
I've come to appreciate them a LOT more than when I was growing up. They've gone from one of my least favorite bands during childhood to one of my most favorite as an adult. I really need to find their best of or a live album as well.
I was not impressed with "Rain Dance Maggie," but I like them quite a bit from Mother's MIlk and before to Stadium Arcadium and beyond, so hopefully this recaptures their magic. Are they still without Frusciante? Their best work is with him imo.
Soundgarden TBA
Another of those grunge bands I hated when my older brother was in high school, but have grown on me as an adult. "Spoonman" is one of my favorites from them. Never liked "Black Hole Sun."
Testament TBA
An old thrash band.
Tremonti TBA
Mark Tremonti is the guitarist for Creed and Alter Bridge and way underrated due to his association with Creed, but even with them his guitar licks are pretty great. I'm glad he gets his own solo album, he deserves it.
U2 Songs of Experience
I wasn't upset by them putting their newer songs on my iPod, but I haven't really listened to them either. I like both 80s and 00s U2, so we'll see.
Usher Flawed
"Yeah!" was one of my favorite songs in the 00s. Don't really pay attention to him otherwise, but who knows?
As with movies, this list is subject to change when I hear what artists I'm not familiar with have to offer and when the ones I do recognize actually have their stuff come out, we'll see how I feel about it. But for now, that's what I have my ear on.
