I think RS was trying to redress the oversights with numerous women and world musicians on the latest 250 Guitarists list. About time.

As for the HOF, as I read though your list, I kept thinking "they're not in the HOF?" Speaking of Celia Cruz, La Sonora Matancera should get at least a little recognition for (arguably) being the longest-lived band (since 1924, obviously with many personnel changes over the years).
