The Rock Hall Reconsidered Project: Round 30 Results
After the Round 29 results were revealed, each nomination committee member was asked to compile another list of 40 currently-eligible artists to create the Round 29 ballot. With the addition of newly-eligible artists for the Class of 2011 (who released their first record in 1985) to the mix. With 18 spots available from the last round, the committee replaced their existing nominees and generated an official ballot for Round 30:
