I was there in the '70s and there are quite a lot on this list I have never heard of. In some cases that has resulted in random picks. In some cases I voted for the artist I had heard of (or generally like better), even though I knew nether song. Also, most of the best ones seemed to be paired with another of the best ones. Hopefully this all comes out, statistically, in the wash.
