Woohoo! I broke into the top ten!

Thanks for running this, **5 time champ**.

(And thanks to They Might Be Giants, without whose cover of “Jessica” I wouldn’t have been able to name any Allman Brothers instrumentals.)

Me too. Best I’ve ever done on one of these games: number five … with a bullet, I hope! (And I hope also I’m no one-hit wonder.)

I’ll add my thanks for the game, **5 time champ**!

I think everyone who said “Monster Mash” is either just lazy or doesn’t know the answer. It’s not Rock 'n Roll. It’s nowhere NEAR Rock 'n Roll. It’s just a convenient answer.

I vote that it be stricken!!!

Also, did Buddy Holly “rock?”

Thanks for running the game, **5 time champ**! I placed smack in the middle yet again. Consistent mediocrity is my goal.

Oh, and I _still_ think “Fire on High” is a good Halloween song. C’mon, it has backwards music and everything. Harumph!

Do you actually know what “Rock & Roll” is? Do you consider “Dion” and “Bill Haley and the Comets” Rock and Rollers?

The Monster Mash was a Rock & Roll song. It was just a silly novelty song, but it was a Rock & Roll song from 1962. It actually hit #1 at one point.

I see that there were two answers given that have Stevie Ray Vaughn as a rocker who died in a plane crash. I hope those don’t get counted because SRV died in a \*helicopter \* crash leaving the Alpine Valley concert venue in southern Wisconsin.

Damn! 6 of my 10 were the top answer and I \*still \*tied for 30th.

Should’ve said Jimi Hendrix…grumble grumble…

Fun game - thanks!

In the OP, **5 time champ** specifically said, the answer does not need to correct.

[QUOTE=5 time champ]  
If you don’t know an answer, guess! If you pass, you’re guaranteed to get zero points – but if you guess and someone else matches your answer, you’ll get points, whether the answer is “right” or not!
