Everyone knows that alternative music was invented by that guy in Gin Blossoms, whatever his name was. Everyone knows this. Everyone. Counting Crows were trailblazers too.

A Long December is the alternative anthem.

Gary Numan rules …
by a cd of his ( replicas )
don’t thick so gunner…
you’re right gunnar is so wrong, but you’re wrong too. Smashing Pumpkins invented the Alternative with buffalo tom laying the groundwork for them to follow.
Late,

Wang Chung was the godfather of proto-alternative. Then Goo Goo Dolls gave it an urban edge.

I thought that was Dexy’s Midnight Runners.
Velvet Underground. 1967.
Check up on your rock history, people.
Good day to you all.
Actually I think you’ll find Monks 1965 Peligro. 1966 Black Monk Time was released and there hasn’t been an alternative ass kickin album like it since.
Wang Chung rule!!! In a dance…hall…days. Plus they’ve got “wang” in their name so that automatically gives them mad props.
I believe when the term “alternative” first came into vogue in a commercial radio sense, the representative bands were probably They Might Be Giants, The Pixies, and REM. And Faith No More. Maybe even the B-52s, although they were already around a long time, so I guess they were grandfathered in or something. Husker Du. Violent Femmes. The Smiths. The Cure. Jane’s Addiction. Yadda yadda yadda…
who created music genre labels, more importantly?
and who cares?
Who put the bomp, in the bomp bah bomp bah bomp?
Who put the ram in the rama lama ding dong?
Who put the papa in papa ooh mow mow papa ooh mow mow?
Yeah! Who was that man?
I’d like to shake his hand.
urgh! a music war…
Not really…

By the way,that singer from the Counting Crows would be one of my candidates for that "people you would like to punch in the face"thread…
urgh! a music war…
Excellent.
I still have my cassette tapes about ready to vaporize into dust if I try to play them one more time.
Many of the performances are on Youtube now, by the way.
