I think it's better to give lesser known things more of a chance than they usually get against some of the more famous things, they deserve it often. If everyone just accepted the general consensus polls of best albums it would be quite boring, it's like each one of these polls just reinforces opinions and it's hard to break out of it. And these polls often dilute the individual lists of critics anyway and it's just the famous things that end up in the main list as they can all compromise that they are ok.
