Here are my deviant choices from BEA consensus for the top 20 artists. So I agree on 8/20.
#2 Radiohead: A Moon Shaped Pool
#5 Bob Dylan: Blood On The Tracks
#6 Led Zeppelin: Led Zeppelin III
#7 Arcade Fire: Neon Bible
#8 The Rolling Stones: Let It Bleed
#9 The Velvet Underground: The Velvet Underground
#11 The Smiths: The Smiths
#12 Kendrick Lamar: Good Kid, M.A.A.D City
#16 Miles Davis: In A Silent Way
#17 Kanye West: Late Registration
#18 Bruce Springsteen: Nebraska
#20 R.E.M.: Chronic Town (Reckoning for an LP)
Based on a quick glance, for 21-40 it goes up to 16/20 agreement.

Just going to go through the top artists on this site and review.
My favorite Beatles album (and favorite album of all time) is the White Album, which while being critically acclaimed, is only their 4th best ranked album on this site.
Favorite Radiohead album is The Bends, which is also their 4th best ranked album on this site.
Favorite Pink Floyd album is Animals, again their 4th ranked.
Favorite Bowie is Blackstar, his 5th ranked.
Favorite Dylan is Blonde on Blonde, 2nd ranked.
When we get to Led Zeppelin is when I finally agree with the ranking.

Now that I think about it, I put Siouxsie's Juju and Nirvana's Nevermind in the same boat. Both are fantastic, but not their best, and I wouldn't put either in the top 100. Juju falls into accidental monotony a few times, and it doesn't have the adventure that Tinderbox and Peepshow provide. Nevermind's a finely made piece of alternative, but the true grunge sound is closer to the lyrically and aurally superior In utero.
I haven't heard all of the Siouxsie albums, but there are two albums I place over Juju, and those are Peepshow (which is in my top 20) and Tinderbox which is Juju 2.0.

Wish You Were Here and probably Animals top Dark Side for me by a little bit.
I prefer Bomber to Ace Of Spades in the Motorhead catalog.
Permanent Waves is my favorite Rush album and even with the big songs on it, a CRIMINALLY underrated and often times overlooked record.
As with a few responses so far, In A Silent Way is my favorite Miles album, and Red is my favorite by King Crimson.
I also agree with an earlier comment, Number of the Beast is a legendary staple in heavy metal but it is not Iron Maiden's best record. Spending time in quarantine gave me time to think out, for sure, my favorite Iron Maiden album and that's Powerslave. 
After hearing all the classic Judas Priest records at least once, Sin After Sin is my favorite.... maybe....

Surprisingly very good, indeed!
No but really, I dig it quite a bit as a big Paul Simon fan, I'd possibly put this in the top 3 of his for sure, pending my mood.

Make that a Third, and possibly a Fourth with Jimmy.
