Yeah we had a chat about "ease of finding songs", and how likely people have an idea in mind already so that came into play when deciding on the boundaries of a few of these rounds plus we thought on our end, easy to check if a song qualifies for this round ha so less work for us

One immediately sprang to mind for this topic.
I can imagine there may be some very differing interpretations of what qualifies as "rock" for the purposes of this competition.

I can imagine there may be some very differing interpretations of what qualifies as "rock" for the purposes of this competition. well that was clear in Rock Idol 1, for some its Rock with a capital R, the stuff that would make the Rock Charts, others its anything with a guitar or a bit of edge or last time a heap of indie and brit pop was included as well, but it gives variety.

I'm going to try to find the most rock options I can for each round (unless there are specific rounds for rock subgenres) - I generally go for more pop or indie options in most other contests anyway.

I'm going to U Turn like a politician and say I'll see if I can come up with a list of songs for the categories, but try for some of the lesser known stuff maybe? I wasn't sure I could commit for the whole thing, plus I'm still happy to make way for new players if we get too many entrants. Think we had 13 for RI1 last time around.

Yeah, we ran a Rock Idol 1 five year ago and generally everything entered qualified as "rock" or at least satisfied my brief but from memory there was less hard rock/classic rock than many anticipated, that has been noted, so this time around look out for some specific rounds that need heavier entries without giving too much away i think we will see a good mix of songs, as I reveal the rounds things will become clearer but I will be pretty strict in some rounds if a specific genre has to be entered and a bit more lax in others Generally a good rule for deciding would be if you go on the album on wikipedia and it doesn't mention rock at all then I'm rejecting it

One of the things I most enjoyed about Rock Idol 1 was the imaginative categories you and Hupin came up with.
You’v done it again with this one.

ROUND 2 - Rock, Paper, Scissors: In this round chose any song from any rock genre that uses either the word Rock, Paper or Scissors in its song title What is more rock than the word rock! Your right, nothing! How often to rock bands incorporate the word rock into their songs? pretty bloody often so this is the perfect round for all you rock fans, or maybe you prefer paper or scissors so your first choice is do you go rock, paper or scissors? Your second choice is to select the best rocking rock song you can that includes that word

For many years, I didn't take part in most of the Haven contests. It was the lockdowns that got me back into them.

Rock Idol was the original that spawned all the other Idol contests, just looking back there were 15 rounds and they were won by a pretty diverse list of bands
Pulp James Manic Street Preachers REM Bowie Nirvana Suede Animals The Cure Led Zeppelin Arcade Fire Van Morrison Depeche Mode The Wonderstuff
