Rolling Stone Magazine: respected music news source, or just another piece of media garbage?
I know they have an account on Y!A (so this force be treacherous for me 
bahaha…), but owing to the many changes and reinventions they’ve made over the years, I’m curious to see what the R&P crowd feels about the magazine.
Oh, and for the like of all things sacred, do me a favour:
do not base your answers on who they have or have not place on their cover before — I know most of you would bash them based on some of those choices alone (I’m tempted to name star names, but I won’t…), and besides, it’s a very minute part of the whole package.
Rolling Stone is total garbage. Putting JB on the cover made them lose all credibility for me.
EDIT- Sorry, I did exactly what you told me not to do. But other than that, I’ve seen these lists that they’ve compiled (like top 1400 songs of all time or somethin stupid like that) and they’re all bogus. I’m not in a thinking mood today. Sorry if my answer looks stupid and has no real reasoning in the rear it. It does. But I just wanted to state my opinion, and that is that Rolling Stone sucks.
The latter. Always was.
it was the best in the 1960′s and the 1970′s
i use to like the magazine…back in the 90′s i subscribed for 5 straight year…now i can’t even open the adjoin page…they have gone really down hill…look for relix, guitar player, filter etc…alot better articles on alot better artists
Except for its reference in the movie ‘Nearly Well-known’, I have no use for the actual magazine.
its been media garbage for at least 15 years (maybe even longer)
I knew it was over for them when they ongoing putting gossip pictures in it. I really don’t care who Paris Hilton or anyone for that matter is partying with.
They do still have fascinating articles sometimes, but it’s usually nothing to do with composition.
They went down the same road with MTV, hand in hand.
I hope Rolling Stone Magazine sees my answer and takes heed: Sell-Out Media Garbage. It’s an abomination to real composition and they have arguably the most pretentious writing staff in existence. The last chop of credibility they had flew out the window with their MTV Reality series about the aspirant writers and their continual “Greatest No matter what” lists. Pure garbage.
Rolling Stone makes brilliant toilet paper when camping.
