The Rock Hall Reconsidered Project: Round 33 Results
After the Round 32 results were revealed, each nomination committee member was asked to compile another list of 40 currently-eligible artists to create the Round 33 ballot. With the addition of newly-eligible artists for the Class of 2014 (who released their first record in 1988) to the mix. With 25 spots available from the last round, the committee replaced their existing nominees and generated an official ballot for Round 33:
