Remember, all the records you mention are older. And yeah, there's some dumb selections. This should not be taken as holy writ, more like throwing you-know what at the walls.
It's like when you get those "all time" list of the greatest football or basketball players and it's dominated by buys who played in the '90s or later. That's called "recentcy error", and it correlates strongly with the age group the selectors fall into.
Don't know if I'd call Cat Stevens a folk singer. Dylan, I guess, but not a pure one like PPM, Baez, Seeger, or The Weavers. Suppose you could stretch the definition to include Simon and Garfunkel and Bruce.

This will probably not be germane to the audiophile audience here, but J Dilla's Donuts was criminally underrated. I frankly think hip hop in general was underrepresented, given modern listening trends, but Donuts spawned whole genres. To put it hundreds of places behind Lemonade is wild to me. This NPR piece from 2013 is truer today than it was then.
