The Rock Hall Reconsidered Project: Round 48 (Class of 2029) Results

Nick D. Bambach

After the Round 47 Results were revealed, each nomination committee member was asked to compile another list of 40 currently-eligible artists to create the Round 48 ballot. With the addition of newly-eligible artists for the Class of 2029 (who released their first record in 2003) to the mix. With 15 spots available from the last round, the committee replaced their existing nominees and generated an official ballot for Round 48:
