It's a very individual situation.

Oasis are gorn, all the other bands that might have qualified for this kind of 'tribute' are not exactly superpremier league anymore (Stones, REM) and no-one else 'winds up' the select few like U2.

Or Coldplay.

Supposedly an album of tracks discarded from NLotH. Also according to some rumours it has a reggae theme!

There's a partial and totally speculative tracklisting here, but it's not enough to go on. Also half of the tracks they list are out-takes from "How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb", so probably won't be on "Songs of Ascent" anyway. The only confirmed song is "Every Breaking Wave".

Bono indicated that he had become "tired of [writing in] the first-person"

end of the world.

the next Strokes album could be a candidate

Defintely the new Arcade Fire album, although preferrably the joke tracklisting that was floating around. In fact, I volunteer to be the midwife that brings Neighborhood #5 (Hockey) kicking and screaming into the world.
