Everything other than classic rock sucks.

[QUOTE=Zesty Mordant]For myself, Spin is pretty good (Chuck Klosterman is great), and Blender can have its moments, but I guess thats pretty much it.

It's not a music magazine per se but Vice is probably the greatest fu[COLOR=White]ck[/COLOR]ing read ever. They just hate everything and I love it.[/QUOTE]

Vice is a classic read. They rip the **** out of everything, it's marvelous. The style of writing is so raw and uncut, not very insightful but entertaining.

Yeah man did you get the tabs for the new Megadeth song this week?

I'm reading a lot of Fanzines at the moment.Having a good look at what's in the underground.

I am downright astonished by the amount of people that would actually [I]pay[/I] to read the drivel they print in RS and Spin.

Hmmm i read Mojo occasionally but (and yes i mean it) i mainly read NME. I'm not ashamed of it at all, yes they're a little "scene" but i have no problem with most of the articles and it's certainly closest to my music tastes in general.

The NME like Pete Doherty a little [i]too[/i] much for my liking, that's my major qualm with them.

pshhh, whatever I personally think Spin is a very decent magazine and they don't hype bands up any more than any other mainstream or local 'zine. The articles are good, the reviews of albums are usually to my taste and they have great writers.

RS isn't half bad either, at least when they're not talking about music.

Nah I only got the Metallica, Led Zeppelin and Pantera ones.

I usually read either Uncut or Q, although lately I've kinda stopped reading Q.

I read NME (Sorry) every week.I can see why people hate it because it's very scene based but I mostly listen to Indie music and the NME is a Indie music magazine.I've discovered some great bands through the NME (The Libertines,Arcade Fire,The Strokes,Devendra Banhart) but also some bad ones (Bloc Party,The Bravery,Editors,The Tears).I also read Q,Kerrang,Mojo,Rock Sound,Mixmag,Rolling Stone (when I can get it) and tons of Fanzines to see what's happening in the underground.

The Tears are great.

Wait a minute, The Libertines are good but Bloc Party are bad?

I don't get the hype over Bloc Party.

If NME was a good indie magazine, it would of reviewed the new Broken Social Scene album by now. Which it hasn't.

I read Wire, which is just like Pitchfork.

I like Filter and Relix and Paste and Waxpoetics the best.

Relix is mainly Jam-Band oriented, so the gig reviews are usually pretty good. Waxpoetics is my favorite for layout.

I'm shocked no one has mentioned Magnet Magazine...

I like NME, my bro gets it and i sometimes read it, its more mainstream Indie though.

Also Kerrang is good, my mate gets that and if i see it lying around at his house i'll have a lil gander at it.

Magnet isn't bad. I enjoy the features, but the reviews are too short and personally I'd wish they put the album cover next to the album being reviewed. I'm personally a very visual person so I like associating a band with the visual. I've subscribed to it for a little while, but I'm not going to re-subscribe.

rock sound covers a wide range of styles and features loads of reviews for each genre. also covers a lot of underground bands. just a shame they always have lame bands like the rasmus on the cover. but then it sells copies.
