Still The Rolling Stone magazine. I've been getting it for many many years. Some of the cover shots piss me off, though!

Back in the Day HP. CREEM had cool photos but the writing was always retarded....almost a joke. HP at least had some real interviews about music.
These days I can't even stand to pick any of them up. Give me GUITAR mags anytime over that crap. In fact, even if you don't play, guitar mags will give you the greatest source of real info on your faves you can get. Go to the store and read a few off the rack. You be suprised you can enjoy them without playing.

I always enjoyed Creem back in the 70's but I used to buy all of them.Nowadays I enjoy Blender & Goldmine(this is a great magazine because it usually has great interviews & always has tons of music dealers with rare cd's,lp's,& video

In the day...Circus was my favorite, followed by Hit Parader then Creem.
Today...none of them get my vote...they just aren't the same.

My favorite music magazine isn’t on the list. It’s Classic Rock from the U.K. and the only hard copy music magazine I bother with these days.
Also I have a bunch of old Kerrang! magazines I bought off eBay and I’ve been enjoying those.
Oddly, I didn’t read that many music magazines “back in the day”.
Well, I did have a subscription to Rolling Stone for awhile but gave up on it in the mid-80’s.
The one I actually voted for was Trouser Press. Just to shake up the poll a bit. I’m surprised anyone knows that one any more!
I discovered Trouser Press at a book store around 1980 and immediately subscribed to it until they ceased publication, around 1983 it was, I think? It was a pretty cool magazine that suited my musical tastes at the time. They covered they more “alternative” side of rock and the “new” music though they reported on already classic rock bands too. About the only quarrel I would have with them in hindsight is they didn’t cover metal at all and in fact didn’t take metal and super heavy rock music very seriously.
I still have all my Trouser Press magazines, in magazine files in my living room. You won’t see those up for sale on eBay any time soon!

I sure wish I would've saved all my old Rock 'n Roll mags from the 70s... I could've made a mint on EBay. Oh well you live and learn I guess.
