The Rock Hall Reconsidered Project: Round 22 Results
After the Round 21 results were revealed, each nomination committee member was asked to compile another list of 40 currently-eligible artists to create the Round 20 ballot. With the addition of newly-eligible artists for the Class of 2003 (who released their first record in 1977) to the mix. With 19 spots available from last round, the committee replaced their existing nominees and generated an official ballot for Round 22:
