The first alternative album "I" was familiar with was REM's 'Chronic Town' back when I was still in high school. But there were probably dozens of bands who were technically "alternative" before REM...hell, I'd argue that Syd Barrett's solo albums were alternative.

Define alt?
Would it be as far back as when FM stations went to album rock, before then, or later?

I like Buddy Holly.
I like The Doors.
But, I'm going with David Bowie. Dude was out there from Day 1.

hardly anyone outside of Athens had heard the chronic town EP
when murmur came out it was like a page had turned...lots of critics dismissed the record as "art-rock" pretentiousness but it changed everything for college students of my age
by the time reckoning was released they were the only band that mattered to a lot of people and they opened the ears to "college radio" which then became "alternative". A band like husker du and many others would never have reached the airwaves down here without R.E.M.

New Wave - which was just the name given to the alternative rock of that era.

Real first, even though punk was The Sex Pistols, but Alt would be:
Original UK LP[edit]
Side one
"India" – 6:21
"Sister Europe" – 5:38
"Imitation of Christ" – 5:28
"Fall" – 2:40
"Pulse" – 2:37
India still rings in my mind.
Soon afterwards Echo and the BUnnymen, siouxsie and the banshees, and Lords of the New Church among many others.
