Another 10@10, Rocky Mountain style
« on: August 26, 2005, 09:49:43 AM »
I posted this last Thursday after returning from Denver:

Quote from: "mshray"

Yesterday while driving around in Rocky Mountain Nat'l Park I was listening to KBCO's Ten@10, which uses the same tagline "Ten great songs from One great year" as everyone else.  Main difference is that they aren't commercial free throughout.  Yesterday was 1995, with soundbites from Desperado, Tommy Boy & the reading of the OJ Not Guilty verdict. I'll post the songlist later when I have time

And yes they stream (http://www.kbco.com/pages/listenonline-index.html), although I haven't tried it yet.  So we can listen to a set in each time zone going forward.  In case anyone wasn't wasting enough time at work yet.


Trying it out today & they are celebrating the 30th anniversary of the release of Born To Run.  I've been interrupted by phone calls & brief meetings, but so far I have heard 6 of the 8 tracks from the original recording, although not in order ("Thunder Road" is playing now & that was track #1 on the LP).  Hope no one interrupts me for the back announce.


ETA: Ooops!  They are suspending the 10@10's for a week while they count down the Top 50 Albums of All Time (as voted by their listeners) & it just happens that I tuned in in time to hear Born To Run, which just happened to have been released exactly 30 years ago (& which fact they didn't mention when she recapped the LP).

A couple of interesting results from their listener's poll:

http://www.kbco.com/pages/misc-top50-poll.html

so if today's Classic isn't up to snuff you can tune in to hear The Police's Zenyatta Mondatta.

I can hear most of Zenyatta Mondatta just by staying tuned to KFOG or any JACK station for 24 hours.

OK I'm trying to give Denver a try, but their player is not cooperating.

BTW on their "just played" list I note they're playing "Jerk It Out" by the Caesars, another great song (and former Little Steven pick hit) that KFOG never bothered to play.

ETA: after 4 tries, I'm giving up -- I get their opening promo and then the player goes into "buffering" mode and stays there. The player's kinda cheezy compared to KFOG's.

well, it's '94 -- hope they're more adventurous than Dave. Starting with Seal, one I'm not familiar with, "Newborn Friend" (?)

actually they're (shudder) Clear Channel. But they sure sound just like KFOG and The Peak.  On the other hand, they won't fire you if you say the Rockies' minds have turned to Cream of Wheat :wink:

Thurs 9/1/05: it's 1985... KBCO does what Dave never has: plays the Smiths, "How Soon Is Now". One of The. Greatest. Songs. Of. the '80s. BOS, obviously.

BOS2 Graham Parker, "Wake Up Next to You". Maybe one for the faux-Motown list, with its echoes of "Just My Imagination".
