I'm struggling to think of 10 for 2009. I've enjoyed the latest releases from

Dream Theater
Katatonia
Megadeth

Also quite liked the Chickenfoot and Sonata Arctica records too......need to think on though for more.

If I may recommend something to you guys that I didn't put on my list:

Fairyland - Score To A New Beginning

It's epic! It's a project completely written and mostly played by a frenchie called Phil Giordana. You'll be wanting to check it out as soon as you see the list of people involved in this album, me thinks.

From Fairyland's myspace:
Quote:

Marco Sandron (Pathosray): Lead Vocals
Georg Neuhauser (Serenity): Add. Vocals on tracks 2, 3, 5, 9, 10
Flora Spinelli (Kerion): Lead Vocals on track 10
Klaaire (Syrayde): Add. Vocals on tracks 4, 5, 9
Geraldine Gadaut (Benighted Soul): Add. Vocals on track 7
Jean-Gabriel Bocciarelli (Benighted Soul): Add. Vocals on track 7
Fabio D'Amore (Pathosray): Bass, Add. Vocals, Guitar Solo on track 6
Willdric Lievin (Hamka): Drums, Choirs
Chris Menta (Razordog): Rhythmic and Acc. Guitars, Guitar Solos on track 5
Alessio Velliscig (Pathosray): Guitar Solo on track 2
Alex Corona (Revoltons): Guitar Solos on tracks 3, 6, 9
Olivier Lapauze (Heavenly): Guitar Solo on track 9

No order:

Tyr - By the Light of the Northern Star
Sonata Arctica - The Days of Grays
Cain's Offering - Gather the Faithful
Stratovarius - Polaris
Fairyland - Score To A New Beginning
Ensiferum - From Afar
Dream Theater - Black Clouds & Silver Linings
Alestorm - Black Sails At Midnight
Edguy - Tinnitus Sanctus (I know it was released everywhere else in 2008, but it didn't reach the USA until 2009, so to me it counts)
Celesty - Vendetta

EDIT: Actually, I think Cain's Offering's debut is my favorite 2009 release. I've actually listened to it more than anything else. Surprising, too, because I had never heard a word about them until the album came out! It came out of nowhere, but I really hope they do some touring next year when Stratovarius has some free time in creating their new album.
