4 those of u who were at the Celebration, I never really understood that: u guys were supposed to select 17 songs outta 22 but u couldn't hear them, could u? Some songs were known but several others such as Come Elekra Tuesday and If I'll Make U Happy (both ruled out!) were never heard by anyone so how in the world could u guys vote 4 or against songs that u'd never even heard in the first place? How could someone choose songs only from... titles?

Always been intrigued by that

I wasn't there but would proably have voted for the songs I didn't know. Always want to hear new stuf, what's the point in voting for something I've heard a hundred times.

We couldn't.

We simply were given access to a bank of Macs (? I think), in the main sound stage area and asked to log on and select from the list.

I'm pretty sure I selected as many of the ones that I had definitely never heard before.

Wasn't everyone complaining that the whole process was absurd?

Well, you did have to vote for tracks based solely on the name of the song, no audio snippet, no clue what it was about, nothing..

Which was funny, because Prince put this list there, knowing full well that we probably knew at least half of the tracks..

I remember voting for the ones I had never heard of at all

Give the chance - would you vote for a song you already know or something you have never even heard the title of ?
