Most of my favourite albums I've picked up this year have been from other years.
Anyway.
Off the top of my head.
Steel Panther - Feel the Steel (obviously album of the year) ;)
Pop:
Bertie Blackman - Secrets and Lies
La Roux - La Roux
Imogen Heap - Eclipse
Gossip - Music for Men

Folk
Kari Bremnes - Ly

Ambient:
Solar Fields - Movements

Misc. Electronic (too lazy to classify):
Fever Ray - Fever Ray

And various comiket stuff.

Worst album of the year:
Lady Gaga - The Fame

Biggest Disappointments:
Muse - The Resistance
Porcupine Tree - The Incident
I'm not sure if I should put Infected Mushroom - Legend of the Black Shawarma here. It's way better than their last (Vicious Delicious) but still falls well short of their big three (classical mushroom/the gathering/converting vegetarians).
Best albums of the year:
Them Crooked Vultures - Them Crooked Vultures
Deadmau5 - It Sounds Like

Other Good Albums:
Alice In Chains - Black Gives Way To Blue
Kaizers Orchestra - Prosessen
Pearl Jam - Backspacer

Dissappointments:
Muse - The Resistance
The Dead Weather - Horehound
Wolfmother - Cosmic Egg
Favorite albums of 2k9(so far)
1.Neon Indian-psychic chasms
2.nosaj thing-drift
3.Fuck buttons-tarot sport
4.Animal collective-Merriweather Post pavillion
5.Bibio-ambivalence avenue
6.Underwater peoples summer showcase 2009
7. flyamsam-flyamsam
