No. My opinion has never been about diversity. My opinion has been about quality of the music. That is what I always meant by "transcendent." How good the music is.
To boil this down into words that require less interpretation: Elliott Smith's music wasn't good enough, in my opinion, to warrant Hall of Fame induction with a relatively short career.
Had he maintained the quality and rate of production he did for another ten years or perhaps even five years, for example, I likely would have voted for him.
