BOOMER QUIZ: ROCK'N'ROLL IS HERE TO STAY


This is part seven of a nine-part series of quizzes about the Baby Boomer era. Thiz quiz concerns the top U.S. song hit singles from 1955 to 1970, the top four for each year. (Source is OzNet Music Chart.)

There will be no grading system for these quizzes, I created them just for the fun of it. Play it with your friends. The answers will be immediately available in case you're not so good with delayed gratification (as they claim about us).

Feel free to share, but give me credit, dammit. The quiz begins after the fold. Copyright 2008 Maggie Jochild.
