Worst Music Media Publication

RS is unfairly biased towarRAB mainstream pop/R&B music, and it's pretty sad that they represent such a huge portion of the industry. Although their reviews are usually impartial and very well-written, it seems like they go easy on everybody and it makes for an extremely hard time to figure out whether a record's good or not.
 
NME easily. I blame them for a lot of the mediocre music which makes up the British rock scene today. Their excuse for journalism these days is just a complete joke too

Anyone who hates Rolling Stone mag (hopefully everyone) neeRAB to check out Elvis Costello's liner notes for the Rhino version of Get Happy!!!

It's hilarious; he dismisses the magazine as a "rag [which] has, over the years, undergone a remarkable transformation from an organ of the supposed counterculture to a shallow pop-culture shop window for starlets and acrobats while funding their efforts with generous amounts of Big Tobacco advertising revenue and offers of penis enlargement to easily deluded teenage boys."
 
Every once in awhile there will be a band I enjoy on the cover so I'll buy it, but I'm always dissapointed by everything in there other then the article about that band.
 
Well, its hard to pick just one when all of them express some degree of awfulness. SPIN or Rolling Stone if I had to pick just one, but meh...

Seeing that AP cover almost makes me appreciate Pitchfok though. Almost.
 
Uhm...wait...I know this...hold on...I can totally answer this...uhm...wait....wait...

Actually, I think they're a decent group. I wouldn't call them innovators though.
 
Pssst.... :pssst: Thats not the point. The point is they are just popular music and not truly "innovative", which is why they made the cover.
