They had some great progressive albums, but those are few and far between and don't really reflect their overall identity as musicians.

What are you talking about? Of course they do.
I know I'm a fanboy and thus I like a lot of their work no casual listener would be caught dead listening to, but you're telling me you don't want to vote for them because they didn't have enough great material, but you want JEFF BUCKLEY to get in?
He made ONE finished album for gods sake, and I don't see what was do damn innovative about it, compared to say an album like Close to the Edge in 1972.
But like Elliott Smith I guess being dead gives you a free pass. Defining a new form of music obviously ain't that important, but lets just go ahead and induct every run of the mill folkie/crooner that people only care about because they're dead.
