Lucky's Personal Top 10

A little intro ..... so you know I'm from St Louis, and proud of it. And, you may have heard me mention the radio station there a time or two (three? Sorry!). KSHE was a pretty big deal throughout the entire midwest for many up and coming artists of the day, and especially for a certain group of young people - those "hippie" kids, of which I was one, I guess. I didn't listen to popular radio/music much until I was in my twenties. The songs on this list are taken from a master list of KSHE Klassics - songs you may or may not have heard before, but all with a distinct St Louis sound, and known to all St Louisans. They are what shaped my music tastes, and help to make me, me. Think of it as a trip back to the 70's, on a hot summer night, out on the banks of the Missouri River....

I have to get on the ball and start listening...

[Rayzor]

I know about 3/4's of your list... are you sure that station didn't broadcast here?

I'll have to listen to your playlist before picking though: may be some hidden gems!

[Lucky]

They may have - they were one of those midwestern stations with the giant transmitters to reach far and wide. Not sure quite that far though. Artists starting out could get airplay there when they couldn't get it on either coast, including a lot of Canadian bands. New artists, solo efforts, and album cuts being their specialty. Tom Donahue of KMPX San Francisco fame helped to start it up in '67.

Anyhoo - you bet your a$$ there are hidden gems. They are all hidden gems.

No worries BB, your votes will be counted. Anyone is welcome to participate whenever they can or choose.

I might question a brand new account participating though, to make sure it isn't a duplicate account of the list's creator trying to vote on their own songs.
