Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community - View Single Post - Seeking a good, diverse, music-related periodical.. Suggestions?

Jimellow · 12-22-2004, 08:55 AM

Like many, I really enjoy music a lot, yet despite this, I've never subscribed to a music-related magazine.

I've read scattered posts around the Internet and gathered that Rolling Stone has gone down hill, and isn't a subscription-worthy magazine anymore, but regardless of whether that's true or not, I'd really appreciate it if you all could suggest some good general music magazines to look into.

In terms of what genre.. I like anything, so instead would be interested in the magazines content quality, writers, etc. A good "general music" magazine would be nice, but the only magazine that comes to mind is Rolling Stone. Are there other (better) ones out there?

What music-related magazines to do you read/subscribe to, and do you recommend them?

Also, if you think Rolling Stone is in fact good and worthy of subscription, please reply too! I got the general vibe that it wasn't a good magazine, but that could be totally wrong, and I don't want to shoot it down as a possibility before I give it a shot.

After suggestions are posted, I'm going to head down to the bookstore and take a look at some magazines, but I'd appreciate some guidance first.

Thanks!
