The Rock Hall Reconsidered Project: Round 53 (Class of 2034) Results
After the Round 52 Results were revealed, each nomination committee member was asked to compile another list of 40 currently-eligible artists to create the Round 53 ballot. With the addition of newly-eligible artists for the Class of 2034 (who released their first record in 2008) to the mix. With 19 spots available from the last round, the committee replaced their existing nominees and generated an official ballot for Round 53:
