Should they be in by now? Absolutely. If you want talented musicians in, they fit the category (Tony Banks, Mike Rutheford and yes, even Phil Collins, throughout most of their career and Peter Gabriel and Steve Hackett in their early years). If you want hits, they fit the category (That's All, No Reply At All, Misunderstanding, Throwing It All Away, I Can't Dance).

If you want classic albums (The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway, Duke, Selling England By The Pound, A Trick Of The Tail and even Abacab and Invisible Touch), they fit the category.
