I need your help to create a progressive rock version of Jeopardy.
If you are interested in helping me out please email me 5-10 pieces (if more than 10 are sent by one person, the extras may possibly be used later) of trivia about one or more prog. artists that you like.

Criteria for trivia to be considered (not meeting these criteria may disqualify your trivia from being used):
-The artist must be listed in the archives
-Please only send in the piece of trivia, I will turn it into a question on my own.
-Please do not send in overly obscure or pointless trivia
 (Example: How many seconds in total an artist has of music)
-Use more than one artist to obtain trivia from
-Beside each piece of trivia, place a number between 1 - 5 on how obscure you think the info. is (5 being the most obscure)

Example of a good trivia format (other formats are accepted if they do not contain a question):
[(Album) - (Artist)], released in (Year of release), (some sort of clue) - {Difficulty rating}
(Selling England... - Genesis), released in (1973) and (consisted of 8 tracks on the original release) - {2}

This won't happen until I get at least 30 usable pieces of trivia (non-duplicates) but if all goes well, I can continue with more in the future.

You can contact me about specifics or email trivia to: [email protected]

If you have a question about the rules listed here, make the subject of the email "Rules"
If you have trivia to submit, make the subject of the email "Trivia"
Please also include the date that the email was sent in the subject line.

P.S. - I have made the text this big because I read a post recently that stated some people may have trouble reading the small print and I would like full participation from anyone who is interested in this idea.

see I would've done it if we could form them as answer/questions, that'd be fun -

a - This substandard guitarist was not 'nice' to Keith Emerson

q- Who is Dave O'List?

The questions will have some degree of wit in them or at least a bad pun because I never said you couldn't give your opinions on the mentioned artist(s) or *suggest* some question/awnsers.

A: Despite the many rumors spun from exaggerated jouranalistic stories, he probably was never going to be any 'H.E.L.P.' in jumpstarting Keith Emerson's career.

Q: Who was Jimi Hendrix ?
