The Rock Hall Reconsidered Project: Round 19 Results

After the Round 18 results were revealed, each nomination committee member was asked to compile another list of 40 currently-eligible artists to create the Round 19 ballot. With the addition of newly-eligible artists for the Class of 2000 (who released their first record in 1974) to the mix. With 16 spots available from last round, the committee replaced their existing nominees and generated an official ballot for Round 19:
