Lineker's Left Foot Posted 7 January 2006 Share Posted 7 January 2006 What music mags do you all like???? I particularly prefer it if they have a CD - best place to go for good mags is Borders on Fosse Park. Mags I like are:- Word Mojo Uncut Comes With a Smile All good magazines as well as International DJ Magazine. I like mags that showcase new and up-coming talent on their CDs. Word gets my vote as my favourite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy Posted 7 January 2006 Share Posted 7 January 2006 Q is a good magazine, some good articles in it. NME is not a bad one, and Classic Rock magazine is worth it if you get a CD free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrickyTrev Posted 8 January 2006 Share Posted 8 January 2006 I used to get NME reguarly, the only managazine with any history of actually breaking up and coming bands, but its editorial is appealing more and more to a particuarly narrow demographic. Namely semi-literate 15 year old girls that think Carl Barat is sooo fit and live and die by the words of his smack head mate. I'm a Libertines fan, but the NME helped ruin them. Wouldn't touch rags like Q or Kerrang! with a barge pole, lazy journalism appealing to the lowest common denominator. The state of Music journalism is absaloutely shocking really.

You should try clash magazine my boy. Plenty of good stuff in it. Lots of variation. Nice looking too. Or write your own fanzine, its very easy indeed.

Finnegan Posted 8 January 2006 Share Posted 8 January 2006 The NME's for 15 year old hipsters who think they're so underground. Piece of shit. Not read it in years, since they dropped the Datsuns pretty much tbh. I used to read X-Ray, dunno if they still publish that, it was good. Bought a Q the other day for cash-back but I ain't really read it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gurkbasurken Posted 8 January 2006 Share Posted 8 January 2006 Uncut - every month, it's a must! Mojo - sometimes, if the main article is about someone I really like (Springsteen, Clash, Smiths etc). NME - sometimes, mostly on the web though. When I was a teenager I read it every week... Q - no, not longer. I'm still a bit sad that The Face went down. /g Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nationwider Posted 9 January 2006 Share Posted 9 January 2006 I grew up on the NME and Record Mirror. Record Mirror either died or became a trade-only rag - I can't remember. The NME isn't fit to wipe my arse on these days, unfortunately. I get the odd Q for train journeys, but generally can't be bothered to read owt music-related these days.

Finnegan Posted 9 January 2006 Share Posted 9 January 2006 how bad were the datsuns though? harmonic generator, intermodulator..fact Aw no. Tell me you just didn't... The Datsuns were quite possibly the best thing to come out of '02/'03! They were freaking fantastic! Judging them on Harmonic Generator is a touch unfair, releasing it as a single was a big mistake. The blistering energy of the rest of the album - especially live (they DOMINATED Reading '02) made them a fantastic act! MF From Hell, In Love, Sittin' Pretty, Freeze Sucker - classic tunes! The NME have stuck their throbbing phallus up much less musically talented ass over the last few years, that's for sure. Like the sodding Yeah Yeah Yeahs. For years I thought The Datsuns were the most rock'n'roll band on the planet... then I found Guitar Wolf Jetu Generation! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lcfcsoul66 Posted 16 January 2006 Share Posted 16 January 2006 Got to be Mojo. Always a quality CD with good tracks that i haven't always got. (No mean feat for someone who has about 1,500 CD's and bout 800 45's and 300 LP's) Always a few quality features as well. This Month its about the Who! next month it's bout the Kinks. Well worth buying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The NME does have a target market of teenagers and students, then again so does most of the great pop music of the last 50 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CosbehFox Posted 23 January 2006 Share Posted 23 January 2006 None, they are all rubbish. None more so than NME. Mojo is the only one worth a second of the day. If I had the dosh, I would launch a music magazine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nationwider Posted 3 February 2006 Share Posted 3 February 2006 Smash Hits - though not anymore as its just been killed by its publishers, and its been shit for years. But back in the eighties, it was ace. It was always a teen-pop magazine, but the twist was it spent as much time taking the piss out of the artists as it did lauding them. Back in the day, it bore no relation to the glossy bog-roll that it became when the likes of Kate Thornton and Emma Jones edited it. There were always loads of in-jokes and piss-takes - sort of in the way that Saturday morning TV used to be quite clever and ironic, but is now shit. Or am I just getting old?

Nationwider Posted 4 February 2006 Share Posted 4 February 2006 None. What do you need (music) magazines for in this day and age?!?!? Because people like buying magazines? Because not everyone's got a computer, or Sky TV? The consumer magazine industry in this country is worth over £3 billion p/a. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
