Depeche Mode album was their best in ages, Empire of the Sun is a brilliant 80s pop throwback, Prodigy was also a return to form, and thanks to FIFA I discoverd a love for the Whitest Boy Alive's - Rules (oh and Wegue Wegue from FIFA as well, that song is awesome)

This year hasn't been especially eventful for new stuff, IMO.
That said, the latest Mew disc was certainly a highlight (definitely my album of the year), as was Animal Collective's 'Meriweather Post Pavillion', which is arguably one of their best albums.
The Fever Ray album was also another favourite of mine this year.

My highlights show how out of touch I am with new music.
Pearl Jam - Backspacer. Contains some of their best ever work in my opinion
Wilco - Wilco The Album. Bull Black Nova is a awesome.
Neil Young - Fork In The Road - A couple of naff tracks, but Light A Candle is so good i will overlook the odd bit of cheese.
Live
Faith No More at the Brixton Academy. Even with the dodgy sound levels it was an incredible gig.

Aside from the new Manic Street Preachers album (Journal for Plague Lovers) and the latest Biffy Clyro offering "Only Revolutions" for me it's been a big disappointment this year.
After a while the excitement of it being new wore off and I realised the Muse album (The Resistance) is nowhere near as good as their previous work.
Aside from the two albums I mentioned, the best release would be the remastered Beatles albums, which we've been listening to non stop.
The Foo Fighters greatest hits is disappointing, they are a band that COULD do a double album of hits (there are so many missing it's crazy!) yet it's stuck on one CD with two versions of Everlong! Snow Patrol get a 2CD greatest hits though? B-Sides, live tracks, ancient tracks nobody will have heard and re-recorded songs? I just don't get it!
I was hoping for a new Jimmy Eat World album, but God only knows where they are at right now!

Alice In Chains - Black Gives Way to Blue
Them Crooked Vultures - Them Crooked Vultures
Mastodon - Crack the Skye
Manic Street Preachers - Journal for Plague Lovers
Megadeth - Endgame
Those are my favourite new albums released in 2009 but I've probably listened to The Beatles remasters more than anything else tbh. Been to some great gigs as well including
AC/DC,Faith No More,Mastodon and Alice In Chains.
