RIP.
Considering they are Wildhearts adjacent, I'm surprised I don't really know anything about them. Will have to check some stuff out.
Although, saying "previously a member of The Wildhearts" is pushing it - it was only for about three weeks!

Yeah I was similarly confused - although I was also half expecting a Billie Eilish cover!
I like it, but it does make me want to listen to their old stuff more than anything.

Okay, everybody's songs are now all sorted - over the course of the evening you'll get your lists and as long as there's no major problems then the first round will go up at some point tomorrow!

Can't believe I couldn't think of Garbage! Especially when it'd be between them and Green Day for me, or maybe Gaslight Anthem as well?
Guns N Roses?

I assume different cover versions of the same song are allowed, even in the same round. Similarly in the "lesser known originals" round it doesn't matter if the better known cover appears in a different round. Both correct. In fact, both will happen. I've already made this difficult enough for myself, applying either of those would just make it impossible.

Okay I have all the entries in that I think I'm going to get, so:
Excitingly, this rule - "If a song is chosen by two people and both say Keep in the same round, both get the song." - will come into effect for the first time during Cover Idol! And not just once either...
Less excitingly (for me anyway) this rule - "If a song is chosen by two people and both say Keep in different rounds, then the grid system used in previous contests will decide who has priority and gets to keep it, and the other person will get their next available choice." - has also come into effect a few times, so some of you may be asked for a back up choice for a song you chose to Keep.
Hopefully we can get the first round up this weekend if I get back up songs promptly.

I need to think of a couple of new ones, had a couple of songs taken or mentioned as back ups.

Thank you everyone!
Just one, possibly two, sets of entries left to get tonight - once they're in I will get back to everyone about duplicates and if I need any more songs from you tomorrow.

Still waiting on entries from the following people: Shireblogger Smurfie ManicKangaroo -Big Dan- DJ nordy greendemon Hupin I know a couple of you have said they're on their way already. And if you're stuck on a particular round, I would recommend going to somewhere like whosampled or secondhandsongs to have a look round and get some inspiration.

A deserved #1 there, it still manages to sound fresh and exciting today. I would have had Come Back Around and Tumble And Fall in my Top 10, I suspect they're both in your near misses.
Not sure about what G could be! Green Day maybe? Gorillaz?

Is it too late to enter songs for this if I hadn't previously "signed up" or mentioned my interest? You are more than welcome to send songs in!

Mine would be either Fall Out Boy or Funeral For A Friend, but I didn't expect anything but Feeder here!
