(June 30, 2026) – Welcome to Music Jeopardy 58! 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.
These are all in fun and open to everyone! Last week’s theme — “57 Varieties!” generated eight respondents — four of whom achieved a perfect score. How will this week’s players fare?
This round’s category — “Class of 1958!” — is a celebration of musicians born in that year, including several iconic ones. But it’s far more than just the Big Three who ruled the 1980s.
Think you know all about music’s 1958 babies? 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.
