I think Bob Welch, Billy Burnette, and Rick Vito should have been inducted, too (Welch more so). They all had top 40 albums during their time in the band.
That said, they had the six most important members on stage.

I don't disagree with what you said. However Bob was one of the most pivotal members and first American. He definitely put his stamp on the band that made it easier to transition to the Buck/Nicks era. Wasn't Heroes the first Mac album to make it in the top 40 albums in the States. Nothing against Rick and Billy but they stepped into an established supergroup to keep it afloat.
IMHO. The most important Mac members:
1. Peter Green
2 Mick Fleetwood
3. John McVie
4. Christine McVie
5. Lindsey Buckingham
6. Bob Welch
7. Jeremy, Bob Weston, Danny Kirwin
