Hands down, the best new album I've heard in 2002 is Sonic Youth: Murray Street. It's a fantastic recording soudwise and showcases them at their most introspective and their noisiest... plus it's available on LP (and amazing sounding)!
Other really good albums from this year...
White Stripes - White Blood Cells: Gets better every time I listent to it. They're a bit over-exposed right now, but that doesn't lessen the quality of the album.
They Might Be Giants - No!: Their "kids" album, but I've always said that their songs are really just nursery rhymes for adults. This is the best thing they've done since their first few albums.
Johnny Cash - American IV: The Man Comes Around (LP): Wonderful sounding LP filled with originals and covers to make your spine tingle.
The (International) Noise Conspiracy - A New Morning, Changing Weather: Great pop/punk tunes and exactly what I'd hoped for as a followup to Refused.
Queens of the Stone Age - Songs for the Deaf: This albums rocks! And you've got to love getting a CD AND a DVD for ten bucks!
Honerable mentiones to The Breeders - Title tk, Foo Fighers - One By One, and Peter Gabriel - Up.
