For sure! If you ask me, MONO and Modest Mouse should have been knocked out last round at the earliest. I mean, that's obviously personal bias so maybe MONO isn't a good example but MM should definitely have made it further and I think unlucky seeding is the only reason it didn't.

yeah, that's why i'm not really into the whole seeding/brackets style of elimination for this type of thing. i think a "start with 30. round 1: pick 20, round two: pick 10 etc. etc." or something similar would be better. that way you can choose whichever ones you actually think ARE better rather than being forced to choose between two amazing albums or two crappy albums.
so there's my two cents, for future reference.
look out! Ninjas!:
The Beatles
This one wasn't easy, both the artist themselves and the album rate very highly for me, even though I think they have better albums. I just find Sgt. Peppers easier to go back to than Brining..., and that's why it wins.
Miles Davis
Sorry Radiohead, but you're just not Miles Davis and Friends. And you never will be. While OK Computer is a nice listen and Paranoid Android is a brilliant song and the rest of the album is near it's level, there's just something about the opening of So What that gets music absolutely perfect.
The Beatles
Abbey Road is my favourite Beatles album (objective best beatles album still undecided) because while the songs are brilliant on their own, as a full piece it just keeps building and getting better as it goes. Joy Divisions inconsistency in the quality of songs over their albums just doesn't come close.
The Clash
Because I haven't heard Things we lost. No, I kid. It's a cool album, but it tapers off as soon as it should really get going; and while London Calling opens with it's best song, the quality doesn't dip, and even though it is a bit long I'd have a hard time finding anything to cut from it.
Also, these four albums have the better covers. Huh.
Addendum: You're all dicks for not voting for Pet Sounds.
