At the top of my list is

Elliott Smith - From a Basement on the Hill

His posthumous release. It's supposed to be very good, from initial reports and I've been eagerly awaiting its release (which I believe is next Tuesday). I bought the "Pretty (Ugly Before)" 7" last year and the version of that song is supposedly the same on the album. Very good song, and if the rest of the album is similar to that, I'm sure I won't be disappointed.
