BONUS: Foo Fighters take over Live 105, October 24, 2002
Pretty much what that picture says. Dave and Taylor from the Foo Fighters stopped by the Live 105 studios to promote their newest album One By One and took over the playlist to play not only two new songs from that album (both of which would later go into heavy rotation on Live 105) but other songs they liked. I remember listening to this when it aired and had nearly forgotten about it until I had been snooping around Archive.org.
Here are the YouTube links for each song.
Foo Fighters- Low
Neil Young- Cinnamon Girl
Joe Walsh- Welcome to the Club
Sonic Youth- Teenage Riot
Jane's Addiction - Pigs in Zen
B-52's- 52 Girls
The Police- Walking on the Moon
Led Zeppelin- The Ocean
Foo Fighters- Times Like These

BONUS: Live 105's top artists of the '90s (December 1999)
So here's something interesting I came across through The Wayback Machine: it's Live 105's list of the top artists of the '90s. I assume they did this at the end of '99 to cap off the decade's end (I found it on a 2001 edition of the webpage, so they were still keeping this list public back then) as a lot of stations did. What's especially interesting is how Blink 182, Korn, and Limp Bizkit (who had only been popular for less than a year at that point) are near the top, which does say a lot about the state of alternative rock in 1999. It also says a lot about the decade in general, seeing how those artists are sharing a list with Siouxsie and the Banshees, Big Audio Dynamite, and The Charlatans UK. Still, it's an interesting time capsule, and one I couldn't find on Rocklists.com, so here it is on the Internet...again.

Bonus: WHFS' top 99.1 songs of 1991
As I mentioned in a previous post, I have a close personal connection to WHFS. Before I moved to the Bay Area, it was my station of choice. Unfortunately, I was too young to have been listening during alternative rock's peak period of popularity, so I've always been curious about what the station sounded like in those days. For the longest time, my resource for that kind of thing has been Rocklists.com, which has year-end countdowns from several important modern rock stations, including KROQ in L.A., 91X in San Diego, Live 105, and yes, even HFS.
This site contains the year-end list for 1992, as well as every year from 1994 to 2004 (The station became defunct in 2005, but has resurfaced on at least two occasions and can currently be heard on 104.9 in Baltimore.) While it is great to see what the station was like musically each year, the lack of 1993 is disappointing as is the lack of any year before '92 (especially 1991, the year that Nirvana's Nevermind catapulted alternative into the mainstream). To make matters worse, Rocklists.com hasn't updated with any new lists since 2008, so I don't know how active it still is.
The good news? I recently came across a site called Einstein's Legacy, which features downloadable files of every one of HFS' year-end countdowns from 1991 to 1999. From its selection of songs to the various IDs, deejays, and commercials, it truly is a wonderful throwback for those who experienced HFS in the '90s and a great curio for anyone who just wants to know what it was like. Now the 2 lists I always wanted to see on Rocklists.com can be found on the Internet. If you want to experience the tapes in all their glory, I strongly suggest going over to Einstein's Legacy. If you just want to see what songs made the list in text form, you've come to the right place. I'll be posting the 1993 list tomorrow.
(Songs are in reverse order.)
1. Jesus Jones- Right Here, Right Now
