This...is...Jeopardy: The progressive rock edition!

I have six categories of five questions each.  The rules are fairly straightforward (especially if you've seen the show):

1. The first person to reply can choose a category and a point value.
2. Once I give the clue, anyone is welcome to reply with their response (you must phrase the answer in the form of a question!)
3. I will keep track of points.  If you answer correctly, you get the points and must choose the next category and point value.  If you get it wrong, the points will be deducted from your score.
4. For the sake of simplicity, there are no daily doubles (I couldn't think of a feasible way to implement this).
5. When all the clues are exhausted, the game is over, and I'll announce the winner.

If there is enough interest, I'll continue creating new boards for play.  I'm unemployed right now, so I have all the time in the world to handle this.

The categories will be in my next post.  Once they are posted, anyone may jump in and take their pick.

Yes, my bad.

I edited it. I'll get used to it after another post or two. Tongue

Ha!  I actually meant to make a rule about editing posts.  But, ex-post facto and all that.

So from now on, you can't edit your posts, or your response doesn't count!  Tongue

So, Moving Pictures, it's your board.  Point for you.

Sorry about that. I forgot about the whole question thing while I was posting my response since I wanted to get it in quickly. Embarrassed

Hmm... Gentle Giant again. We'll do 2 this time.

No, actually. I'm a GG buff. Big smile

Well, I think I am. Hopefully 4 and 5 won't be too hard for me.

How about 4 GG this time, Robert? Wink

Then you'll get this.

Gentle Giant - 4

The work of this French author, who died in 1553, inspired some of Gentle Giant's songs.
