UPDATE 4/4: We now have confirmation on the track lists for each set!
Original post: Next week, another batch of ICON compilations will be released by Universal Music Group. This is particularly interesting, considering that all of the track lists for these upcoming sets have yet to be revealed.
Indeed, pre-order links on Amazon and other sites don't even have all of these track lists, or cover art, finalized. (This is doubly ironic considering another batch of ICON titles is slate for May, and pre-order links are starting to crop up.) Fortunately, we've managed to pull together all but one of the sets (the two-disc compilation track list for The Who remains elusive) into one post for your perusal. It's a mostly classic rock-oriented batch (The Who, Eric Clapton, Joe Cocker, Cat Stevens) with some new and old soul/blues acts (Quincy Jones, B.B. King, Avant), modern rock (Sublime) and a few smaller names (Nonpoint, Local H) thrown in for good measure. The set by the metal band Nonpoint features some previously unreleased material, which must be one of the first such instances on the usually barebones ICON sets.
Each title comes out April 5. The remaining track lists will be plugged in when they're confirmed; the rest are after the jump!

John says
No track list for 2CD Who Icon? Probably won't matter, there won't be a new remaster of "Relay."
Don says
This ICON releases depress me.
side3 says
Why would "White Room", a Cream song Clapton neither wrote nor sang, be on a Clapton best-of?
Oh well, at least Jack Bruce will make some money from it (I hope)
plasket says
You KNOW that people would complain if it wasn't on there. The people who put these things together just can't win.
plasket says
By what stretch is Local H "iconic?" (Also, I never knew they covered GbV.)
I Knew It says
I saw it coming a mile away, no Relay on the Who compilation. AGAIN. And even on the 2 disc edition, Squeeze Box is the only By Numbers track included. Heaven forbid people who aren't total Who fanatics ever get to hear superior tracks from the album like Slip Kid, Imagine a Man and Success Story.
And nothing to entice us long term fans like maybe including the uncirculated studio version of their Shakin' All Over cover.
