The non-rock acts are people who have influenced rock music, that's why you see blues and R&B artists there, for example, as opposed to, say, modern classical.

Disco isn't the most snubbed genre. I don't see any salsa groups on the list. I don't see any classical musicians. Hell, Miles Davis is the only jazz artist on there. And since you brought up rap, there have only been four rap acts inducted as opposed to the seven (or eight if you count Isaac Hayes) disco acts I mentioned.
