Music Jeopardy 57: 57 Varieties! Guess these completely unrelated clues associated with the number 57!

(June 24, 2026) – Welcome to Music Jeopardy 57!  It’s the weekly music challenge where the blog provides the clues… and you provide the responses.  Each clue has point values — no dollars!  The player(s) with the most points gets bragging rights.

This round’s category — “57 Varieties!” — is a mixed bag of clues associated with the number 57.

These are all in fun and open to everyone!  Last week’s theme — “Rock-n-Roll Never Forgets – 1956” generated eight respondents — five of whom achieved a perfect score, including an anonymous player who forgot to provide his/her name.  How will this week’s players fare? 

Think you know all about the No. 57 in music trivia?  There’s only one way to find out: play along!

You can post your responses in the “Your Thoughts” box below (they’ll be withheld from view until the contest closes), DM me on social media, or email me.  Please don’t be that person who posts answers publicly on social media and spoils it for everyone. And, if you’re sending an anonymous comment, please remember to include a name or alias so we can give proper credit.

All correct entries will be recognized in the next Music Jeopardy! post. The prize, as always: eternal bragging rights.
