The Rock Hall Reconsidered Project: Round 39 Results
After the Round 38 Results were revealed, each nomination committee member was asked to compile another list of 40 currently-eligible artists to create the Round 39 ballot. With the addition of newly-eligible artists for the Class of 2020 (who released their first record in 1994) to the mix. With 28 spots available from the last round, the committee replaced their existing nominees and generated an official ballot for Round 39:
