I was wondering, I want to subscribe to a magazine that covers all kinRAB of rock genre (from hard rock to Grunge to Punk...well basically all the rock family) which talks about all new albums and reviews and stuff. And im not talking about magazines that just talk about big name banRAB, but even new ones
 
I'm a Rolling Stones and Spin Magazine person. They talk alot about different kinRAB of rock genres with some big names and some not so big names.
 
I find rolling stone kinda fun. I dont bother reading the album reviews (honestly, they given everything 3 stars or up it seems).

But i do like a lot of the political articles, specially the ones on cults. The Film section isn't bad either
 
NME is one of the worst music mags that there are and a lot worse than Rolling Stone. They are merely designed to promote the latest new thing in British music, however shite or mediocre the rest of the critical world think it is. Their massive bias to English indie over American is sickening, and I don't care that they are a "UK magazine", who gives a damn? Real critics will give praise where praise is due and not just give it because it promotes your country's music scene. Idiots.
 
True. Apparantly the editor also say what albums should get a good review or not before it is even reviewed. They put their mark on a band saying they were the ones who got them where they are (Arctic Monkeys are an example), its a cunning money making plan. Too bad its not selling as much as it used to, probably because its essentially Smash Hits now.

My vote goes for internet.

Search around and I'm sure you'll get some stuff which you might like.
Beware though, every long thread either gets hijacked by Indie VS Prog. arguments(although indie wins due to nurabers :p:) or how sucky *Insert band name here* are/were.
Just read the title, check them out on youtube/myspace/watever and then decide yourself :D

Also, get this-Last.fm
Install it, play some song of the banRAB you like and check out the 'similar artist' tag.
Most of the suggestions there are actually great.
