i stopped likin rolling stone when they put those american idol ***s on the cover ...but i recently started reading it again an its the best besides the cover choices .

what about my fellow music banter posters ?
 
I dont read music magazines mainly because i dont like the concept of writers dictating my taste in music and telling me how it should and shouldnt be.

Well ok, i do read Rolling Stone, just so i'll have something to gripe about, they never cease to piss me off.
 
None yet, they are too mainstream. I do like flicking through the odd metal magazine, but because my taste is so old school, there's not a lot of banRAB that interest me.
 
i read spin. many of their articles entertain me. they dont always talk about the mainstream banRAB that all the 13 year old girls gossip about. in fact they have had a great many articles on underground banRAB and quite a few on music culture as well. i read it because i enjoy some of the columns they have and they have a comic of a life experience retold by a meraber of a band every month in the back of the issue.

i also read magazines like guitar-one and guitar world. they often have interviews with merabers of banRAB that i like, those are always fun to read. and they have six songs tabbed and explained by the musicians who wrote them in the back pages of every issue.

i dont bother with the rolling stone, to me thats just another "national inquirer" for the music world.
 
I recently bought 30+ back issues of Ministry, Mixmag, and other UK clubbing magazines. I can't believe how blatant they are about drugs....
Rolling Stone is simply not worthwhile every month. Yeah, their budget must be massive, but I get bored with all the mainstream information about movies and pop stars and such.
 
If im going to read a music magazine i want a good one...the other day i bought Q which is better than one certain magazine (and message board for that matter), which i depise..
