I found this over at the blog Substandard Poodle. This was yet another greatest songs countdown that the station did over Labor Day Weekend in 1994.
At first I was a bit annoyed that the author didn't post a text list but rather just pictures of the list, and it was really hard to read when I zoomed in. Then I noticed there was a feature where I could blow the picture up to its actual size, and now I'm able to transcribe the list.
I have to say, I'm really impressed with the variety of this list. There's a lot of big songs from the early '90s of course, but also a healthy amount of songs by artists like Patti Smith and Nick Lowe- neither of whom I think I've ever heard on an alternative station. Plus, there's a lot of B-sides by The Clash, so this is already better than these lists tend to be.
I don't have the time to list every song right now, so bear with me as I do these in increments.

3. Modern English- I Melt With You

7. Smashing Pumpkins- Today

9. Peter Gabriel- In Your Eyes
10. Nails- 88 Lines About 44 Women
11. Red Hot Chili Peppers- Under the Bridge
12. The Cure- In Between Days
13. Jane's Addiction- Been Caught Stealing
14. Depeche Mode- Master and Servant
15. Pearl Jam- Jeremy
16. Soft Cell- Tainted Love
