Would've gotten "Rapture". Thinking on the first reggae #1.... Clapton's "I Shot The Sheriff"?

Yes!

(and by that I mean correct, not that Yes recorded the first Reggae chart-topper)

Score: 2 bustouts, 2 hip-hop songs and 6 moderate-to-egregious AL standbys.
But, most importantly, did the set RAWK hard enough?  ;D
Hee. I haven't seen FP's assessment.
Well, we got Lenny, Lou, Pixies, Smithereens, and the 'Mats, all of whom could be construed as rockers, so that should have sufficed to fill the RAWK quotient. Why do I get the feeling it didn't?
Probably because we got TWO hip-hop records as bookends. He's not a big fan.
"Buffalo Stance" is one of those songs that I once considered hip hop, but now I just think of it as a pop hit (and a good one at that). Evolution, baby!

I think hip hop is a fair placement.  I note that Buffalo Stance borrows heavily from Malcolm
McLaren's Buffalo Gals.  Today's other hip hop track also makes liberal use of sampling.  Years
ago I read an article, the details of which are lost to my memory, that noted 3 Feet High and Rising
as a seminal album in regard to getting permissions and paying for sampling other works.  If I
recall correctly, that wasn't the usual practice at the time, but De La Soul used the technique so
much that it brought the issue to the fore.

Do the Right Thing --> "Let Love Rule", LNnny K. -- multi appearances (in both '89 and '90) and of course he's ubiquitous on KFOG generally

And he's had a decent enough career that they could pick something beyone "Let Love Rule" or "American Woman", which are two of his less-than-inspiring choices. "Are You Gonna Go My Way?" would be a fine 1993 TOTHK.

And lo, here's "Are You Gonna Rip Off Jimi Go My Way" right before 10@10 on Thursday. 
You spin me right 'round, baby, right 'round

This show was never posted on the KFOG page.  I cobbled the set list together from
the comments in this thread.


2/18/15  Wednesday!!  It's 1989!

1. Neneh Cherry - Buffalo Stance
   (Movie:  Do the Right Thing)
2. Lenny Kravitz - Let Love Rule
   (Movie:  Crimes And Misdemeanors)
3. The Jesus and Mary Chain - Head On
4. Smithereens - A Girl Like You  [1]
   (TV:  The Wonder Years)
5. The Pixies - Here Comes Your Man
   (TV:  Seinfeld)  [2]
6. Lou Reed - Dirty Boulevard (BOS)
   (News:  the Berlin Wall falls)
7. The Blue Nile - The Downtown Lights
8. The Cure - Fascination Street
9. The Replacements - Talent Show
10.De La Soul - Me Myself and I


Notes
[1] I'm guessing this is the correct track; the title was never mentioned.
[2] I'm assuming it was a clip from the TV show and not a bit from his standup routine.  While
technically Seinfeld first aired in 1989, just the pilot episode was shown.  And in 1990 only four
episodes were broadcast.  It wasn't until 1991 that the series really got going.  This means that
most likely whatever clip was used is actually from a later year's episode, which is a common
occurence with TV show clips on 10@10.

This was one of the last new sets before the move.  It was never posted, and I posted on AL's FB page to post it on Soundcloud.  It hasn't happened yet.
