Happy Rock Hall mid-season everyone :)
Building off of Casper's list that he posted 3 months ago (and the original additions to it I made in August), I thought I'd make an all-encompassing list of every artist that I think has even a sliver of a chance of showing up on next year's ballot, grouped by genre and era. Of course, not all of these artists are created equal in terms of likelihood for showing up, this is just my attempt to create some sort of floor for probable nominees. Feel free to suggest someone/something if you think I missed it!
