Two pop into my mind immediately:

The Last Vegas - Whatever Gets You Off
Innocent Rosie - Bad Habit Romance

But only glam/sleaze fans would dig these discs.

I'm not sure if I even bought 10 CDs in 2009. Let me list what I have so far from this year, in no particular order.

Studio releases
WASP -- Babylon
Trans-Siberian Orchestra -- Night Castle
Epica -- Design Your Universe
Megadeth -- Endgame
Grave Robber -- Inner Sanctum
Diablo Swing Orchestra -- Sing-Along Songs for the Damned and Delirious
Sirenia -- The 13th Floor
Amorphis -- Skyforger

Live releases

Epica -- The Classical Conspiracy
Therion -- The Miskolc Experience

I keep thinking that I forgot something...

I've picked up 27 new releases so far this year. I'm still missing many that I plan on getting for the year as well.

I still need: Brainstorm, Bon Jovi, Slayer, Place Vendome, WET, and a whole lot more!

Anyway here's my top 10 so far:

1. Dead By Sunrise ~ Out of Ashes
2. Vision Divine ~ 9 Degrees West of the Moon
3. Iron Fire ~ To the Grave
4. Saint Deamon ~ Pandeamonium
5. Sirenia ~ The 13th Floor
6. Primal Fear ~ 16.6
7. Ross the Boss ~ New Metal Leader
8. The Last Vegas ~ Whatever Gets You Off
9. Anubis Gate ~ The Detached
10. Heaven and Hell ~ The Devil You Know

honorable mentions:

Green Day ~ 21st Century Breakdown
Care Bears On Fire ~ Get Over It!
Holy Cross ~ Under the Flag
Kreator ~ Hordes of Chaos
Absu ~ Absu
Wolf ~ Ravenous
Cannibal Corpse ~ Evisceration Plague
Lacuna Coil ~ Shallow Life
Combichrist ~ Today We Are All Demons
Hardcore Superstar ~ Beg for It



and with these, I was somewhat disappointed:

Hammerfall ~ No Sacrifice, No Victory
U2 ~ No Line on the Horizon
KMFDM ~ Blitz
Depeche Mode ~ Sounds of the Universe
