FWIW, the Rock Hall changed the "end date" of the countdown to February 11th so it just displays zeros now. The March 2nd date could have just been a random placeholder or they reconsidered including the actual date.
The Rock Hall has a hidden countdown clock on their fan vote site that implies the nominees will be announced on Monday, March 2nd. vote.rockhall.com/coming-soon

Thoughtful post with some Rock Hall ballot names that don't often come up. @galhz.bsky.social
The Grammys are on tonight, but if you ever thought "wow these Grammys are too accurate and necessary and satisfactory", why not try the Rock Hal? I've been following it for a few years, and I came up with some ideas for how to make it more fun for me personally. Read and wholeheartedly agree here:
