That'd be like Wolfenstein 3D being released, and then someone going and making an FPS for the SNES immediately after (that isn't even as good as the original game) and being hailed as the creators of the FPS genre. It's patently rediculous.
I understand where you're coming from with this argument. However, I think that it's safe to say that Halo 3 is going to have a significant effect on games in the future. I'm not honestly sure that any game on that list did anything particularly new, they just did old things better (ie Halo 3 combined the best of online and made all of it even better; Portal took Narbacular Drop and made it better; Rock Band took Guitar Hero and amped it up, etc.) - so in my eyes, giving the award to the game which is going to have the most significant impact on games in the future is probably fair.

Not picking holes, but I'm genuinely interested, what do you feel Rock Band did to deserve this award? (Disclaimer: I've never played Rock Band.)
