So Television,Gang Of Four,the post-punk movement,The Feelies,Talking Heads, and Modern Lovers had nothing to do with it, and the idea of REM "creating" alternative rock seems to conviently overlook contemporary groups like Orange Juice,The Replacements,Husker Du,Meat Puppets,The Cure,The Smiths, and Violent Femmes, all of whom released material either before Murmur or almost simultaenusly which is very much alternative rock.
Stop toeing the official line Zero1986, I thought you knew better.
