Zoro recommended The Rural Alberta Advantage to me on another thread and I can't thank him enough, Departing is now one of my most anticipated releases of 2011.
OOMPH!
Within Temptation
Sirenia
Foo Fighters
Queens of the Stone Age
Delain (apparently)
Paramore (maybe, shit's gone down)
Radiohead
Nightwish
I may be forgetting a couple, but 2011 is looking fucking amazing so far.
EDIT: Also it seems that Kyuss are releasing a new album without Josh Homme under Kyuss Lives!, which should be interesting.

I didn't even know Cynic was working on another album, it seems weird that there's like a 10 year gap between Focus and Traced in Air and yet there'll only be like a 3 year gap between it and the next if it comes out 2011.
Anyone else excited for a new Say Anything album? Blink 182 as well, should be a good year for pop-punk/"emo"/whatever

was wondering when this would be posted, heh.
Only 2011 releases i'm interested in so far are new dredg ("early 2011") and new Cake in January.
New Decemberists is looking cool as well, will download when a more legit copy is leaked/released.
Outside of confirmed releases, maybe this'll be the year for new Radiohead!!! I've heard rumors of new Why? material (which would make sense because they seem to release a new album every two years) and I believe Incubus is doing something too.
Anticipating a new Mars Volta album as well, it's been 18 months, so they'll probably be releasing something any minute now. More stuff from Omar will be released without a doubt, maybe he'll break his personal record for "most albums released in a year" again.

im looking forward to things ive never heard of from artists i know nothing about. making lists of all the bands who could potentially release an album that will more than likely not be half as good as their best next year just seems redundant after 2010, where people like m.i.a, national, of montreal, interpol, broken social scene, new pornos etc all put out albums i was completely meh on.
so instead ill list things i know will be good and will be severely dissapointed if they arent:
kanye/jay-z's watch the throne. after kanyes year it goes without saying this should be great, and his christmas track has me convinced that his creativity still hasnt gone anywhere.
james blake's debut album. again, this man had an amazing 2010, making some of the best electronic music around, and i have big hopes for his self titled debut. i do hope he doesnt completely stray from his more electronic material though.
tyler the creator's goblin mixtape. after everything hes said about it on twitter im hella excited to hear new stuff from him.
potential radiohead album, yeah i know. they are really one of the few bands where a new album really feels like an event that you know is gonna be amazing. the fact that their speculated release date keeps being pushed back is also great news, because you know they care about it. not holding my breath though, we were speculating about new radiohead album at this point of last years thread :x

Steven Wilson is going to release his second solo album, and also a collaboration album with Mikael Akerfeldt from Opeth, and even the 3rd Blackfield album, so those are what I'm looking forward to the most.
And also Radiohead.
Pain Of Salvation is releasing Road Salt Two, but since it will be in the same veins as the disappointing Road Salt One, I'm not getting my hopes up for that.
edit: new Opeth too (although Watershed was disappointing - after multiple listens, despite sounding great on first listen)

Paramore. That's about it.
From their official site:
So yeah. Apparently they're thinking about rereleasing Focus. again.
Anyway:
Alestorm
Amon Amarth
Autopsy
Cynic
Insomnium
That's all that I know of right now.
new Opeth in the fall.
hopefully the last (first) installment in Virgin Black's Requiem trilogy.
new Meshuggah and maybe even a new Special Defects.
Tesseract is purportedly releasing their full-length. finally.
Vashti Bunyan has been working on an album for like, 5 years, so hopefully 2011 will see it's face.
and...you know...other stuff...

I knew I was forgetting something important.
Ooh fuck yes this shall be very good indeed. :3
Didn't know they were coming out with a new one, though I guess it's been about time. Will have to add that to my list.
i think there's been another update since then, but i'm not going to dig for it.
This blog I work on posted a 2011 hype list the other day, looking forward to the new Strokes CD, well if it's as good as their first 2.
Coldplay is coming out with their 5th sometime in the summer.
Stereogum's list is awesome. I'm already listening to the new Wire, Destroyer, James Blake, and Drive-By Truckers.
Cult of luna
Iron & Wine
Meshuggah hopefully, besically everything deschain said.
Megadeth, hopefully it wont suck like the last 3. A man can hope right?
And Bright Fucking Eyes...

"New" Motörhead album in January, yes I am aware it has already been leaked.
