The Rock Hall Reconsidered Project: Round 3 Results
After the Round 2 results were revealed, each nomination committee member was asked to compile another list of 40 currently-eligible artists to create the Round 3 ballot. With the same artists eligible as in the previous round, the committee replaced their existing nominees (those who were inducted last round with ones they haven’t nominated yet) and generated an official ballot for Round 3:
