The Rock Hall Reconsidered Project: Round 14 Results

Nick D. Bambach

After the Round 13 results were revealed, each nomination committee member was asked to compile another list of 40 currently-eligible artists to create the Round 14 ballot. With the addition of newly-eligible artists for the Class of 1995 (who released their first record in 1969) to the mix. With 19 spots available from last round, the committee replaced their existing nominees and generated an official ballot for Round 14:
