ZZtop is in the RnR Hall of Fame and bands like Yes or any other Prog rock bands are not?

ZZtop is in the RnR Hall of Fame and bands like Yes or any other Prog rock bands are not? An excellent question, Marcus! It's been speculated that the major lack of prog bands in the RnR Hall of Fame is due to the influence of Jann Wenner, who is a vocal opponent of that sort of music. I think the people who nominate the inductees couldn't be prog fans, either. Yes, it's a niche musical style but an excellent and far reaching one at that. It makes me sick that Yes, Tull and King Crimson aren't in the Rock Hall, they've contributed so much to music. It's especially disconcerting (read: embarrassing) because the Rock Hall is here in my hometown. Damn!
