9th level spells you'd miss if they were banned

Image you are the DM and you have a Cleric, Wizard, Druid, and Psion party turning level 15. They've been good little optimizers and haven't lost any caster levels.

And they haven't broken your campaign with their 7th level spells, but now that they are about to get 8th level ones, you figure you'd better look over the 8th and 9th level spells. After all, you like to stay ahead of the curve. If you need to ban anything, now is the time.

You feel reasonably confident that if you could handle 7th level spells, you can handle 8th level ones. But the more you look at 9th level ones, the more you're not sure you can handle any of them. Atleast, not any that your players would bother using. The Psion laughs at Dominate Monster being a 9th level spell, considering he's had it as basically a 5th level spell.

What 9th level spells would you think are balanced? A balanced spell is A) not too weak to ignore / never use but B) not so strong as to break your campaign. Shapechange, for example, you find just too much.
