Live 105 11 O'Clock Rewind playlist December 9, 2002

Now here's a blast from the past (found via Archive.org).

11 O'Clock Rewind was a show that aired directly after Howard Stern from 2002 to 2003. It was hosted by former Music Director Steve Masters, who had just returned to Live 105. It was basically a playlist of classic alternative songs, and at times it could get pretty adventurous. Eventually, 11 O'Clock Rewind gave way to Rewind@Noon-- hosted by Ally and then-program Director Sean Demery-- which then gave way to '90s at Noon and Resurrection Sunday. Nowadays, I don't think the station is doing any kind of classic alternative specialty show, save for an occasional themed weekend.

Anyway, here's the playlist for December 9, 2002. I'll have more of these later.

BONUS: Live 105's top 20 Soundcheck bands of 2002

Yet another Wayback Machine find. There's a tiny bit of overlap with the 2001 list, and of course, there are some more bands that became bigger in 2003.

And once again, the formatting is wonky because I copied this from an old webpage.

1. The Strokes 2. The White Stripes 3. The Hives 4. The Vines 5. Queens of the Stone Age 6. Interpol 7. The Donnas 8. Sparta 9. Sleater-Kinney 10. Clinic 11. The Pattern 12.

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
