The Rock Hall Reconsidered Project: Round 52 (Class of 2033) Results
After the Round 51 Results were revealed, each nomination committee member was asked to compile another list of 40 currently-eligible artists to create the Round 52 ballot. With the addition of newly-eligible artists for the Class of 2033 (who released their first record in 2007) to the mix.
