OK, I've found 15 non-charting covers of charting singles, and then re-read the rules...

What will the timing be, given there will also be a new Haven Factor at some point and the Time Machine 1970s?
If the original was not actually released as a single at the time but was well known (e.g. Stairway To Heaven) will that also count? I assume you want to avoid the "oh I didn't know that was a cover" type, but if someone wants to enter either Far Corporation or Rolf Harris's version of Stairway To Heaven in a round (where you can enter hits) or an obscure over I've never heard of, would that qualify? Similarly many Beatles songs weren't released as singles but were very well known.

Why not wait until the rules are published before asking questions

Similarly many Beatles songs weren't released as singles but were very well known. Why don't you write your own complete set of rules and post them here ? Then we can all throw in our own much better ideas. And also ask loads of questions where your rules are too vague or ambiguous. And give our own favourite examples of songs which other people might have planned to enter, until you spoilt it. Or, alternatively, why don't you just keep quiet and leave Roo. alone to run his own competition without unnecessary interference ?

Shockingly, the phrase “ Full rules and details posted next weekend” means that the full rules and details will be posted next weekend (which is now this weekend).

Cheers! Are there any usual suspects who haven't signed up yet? The only ones I can immediately think of who might want to are greendemon and PurpleCareBear

I'm debating it! I love the idea of Cover Idol but it seems a bit too much for me at the moment (and I'm not sure if I know enough covers I actually like ) I'd definitely like to do Cover Vision though

The first round won't be up until after New Year so you (and anyone else) can change your mind about Idol and send songs for it before then no problem.

I'd do the voting bit (but not the entering bit), thanks.
