I think Clube da Esquina is growing here.

ITAOTS, TVU&N, Disintegration Loops, Spiderland, Since I Left You, MBDTF, Down Colorful Hill, Untrue, I Could Live In Hope, Tired Sounds, Funeral, Geogaddi/MHARTC, TNT/MNLWND, and maybe Kid A, If You're Feeling Sinister, Tago Mago, The Books (Lemon of Pink maybe?), Heart of the Congos, anything by Aphex Twin ... well, these also come to mind.

This is probably the most accurate and thorough examination of the BEAcore cannon.

Ys by Joana Newsom
Hospice by The Antlers
Untrue by Burial
ITAOTS by NMH (even though that's only really here because /mu/)
Unknown Pleasures by Joy Division (thee was a time when the top four charts all had JD at #1)

Loveless, Unknown Pleasures, Pink Moon, In The Aeroplane Over The Sea, Hospice.

Actually, this sums it up much better than my ballot. If I may amend mine, I'll try and go with just albums I'd never heard mentioned till I got here and still rarely if ever see.

Ys by Joana Newsom
I Could Live In Hope by Low
Down Colourful Hill by Red House Painters
Yankee Hotel Foxtrot by Wilco
Hospice by The Antlers

For some reason, I forgot the existence of Down Colourful Hill, also I didn't realize the acclaim King Crimson gets on bloggy/forum-y places like this.

I agree with this. A lot of the members here seem to really like that record. I'll be sure to give it a listen sometime.

I Could Live in Hope- Low
This is in a lot of the regulars' charts. I've honestly never seen it get any love whatsoever elsewhere. It definitely deserves the love. It's an absolutely beautiful record.
