(September 8, 2026) – Welcome to Music Jeopardy 66! 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 — “1966 Wiki Rock!” — are clues related to 1966’s chart toppers based on how Wikipedia defines their rock sub-genres.
These are all in fun and open to everyone! The theme from last week — “Dolly’s No. 1 but What About the No. 2’s” generated seven respondents — five of whom got perfect scores. How will this week’s players fare?
Think you know your 1966 No. 1 rock 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.
