ROUND 3 - Sheena Is A Punk Rocker!: The punk era redefined rock music, by late 1976, acts such as the Ramones and Patti Smith, in New York City, and the Sex Pistols and the Clash, in London, were recognized as the vanguard of a new musical movement but this wasn't just a scene that died out in the 80's, punk still permeates through music today with the more recent pop punk and post punk revival genres, so here enter anything punk The first of our genre specific rounds here, designed specifically to explore a not very often explored genre on the heavier side of rock, an aggressive form of rock music often with a contradictory mix of intelligence, simplicity and anger. This will be one round I'm policing quite heavily to make sure everyone fits the brief, the idea is everyone goes against each other on a level playing field, punk v punk so no you can't enter New Wave, poppy disco era Blondie songs here just because the band had punk roots

Like the sound of this a lot, especially knowing it's not going to be overrun by Blondie!

Punk is really alive right now, with maybe 3 different scenes in fact the range is incredible from Radio 1 chart toppers through to 6 Music underground bands and everything in between.

I only spotted this last night...
Please count me in ... However, if it is a case of having too many entrants I'm happy to sit this contest out, as I'm due to miss one sooner or later (and vote where possible in the rounds).

Do you have a list of tracks entered in Rock Idol 1 ?
I have a choice for one of the three rounds detailed so far, but I think it might have appeared last time around.
Cheers

Not sure if there's a list Shireblogger but if you search for 'idol' in this subforum you'll find all the old threads. I already found the obvious song I mentioned earlier for round 2 so won't be using that again

Sorry, I think I might have to sit this one out. I would love to play but I've got too much going on at the moment to be able to commit properly.

Thanks Daz! Although Lykke Li! How did that sneak through? Ahh it was in the Indie Pop round and came last with 3 points, on her Wikipedia the first genre listed for her is Indie Pop so think I just let the people decide if it was deserving

ROUND 4: Keep It Simple: In this round enter a rock song with only one word in the song title, it's as simple as that. Round 3 and Round 5 are particularly niche so we placed this as round 4 as a bit of a "breather", should be plenty of songs here to chose from

So looking at what was played in the first idol, pretty much the only "Scissor" rock song I could think of was already used.. I assume we're allowed variants on the word so "Rocking" for example would be permitted.
By the way I quite like the Ramones but never really think of them as punk - more a 70s Beach Boys - and also think they are overrated, as is early Clash. But go on, pick them if you like.
