Rating: - Rolling Stone Magazine Sucks
I'll make this short and sweet since everyone pretty much agrees that this magazine barely makes credible toilet paper in an emergency. Get your money back and subscribe to Classic Rock Magazine. It's a UK import so it's more expensive, but worth every penny. Never have I waited in anticipation so much for a new issue to come out so I could read it cover to cover. Not only does it cover classic rock, but has some great articles and reviews on the up and comers. Every issue comes with a free CD or DVD. I get mine at the local Barnes and Noble store for $9.90. Get it!!! You'll love it.

Rating: - You Have to Sort Through the Articles, But...
This is still, hands down, the best entertainment and popular culture magazine out there. Yes, like the other reviewers, I'm sick to death of the constant Britney updates and when Zac Efron appeared on the cover I took it as the first sign of the Apocalypse, but those of us over 25 need to suck it up and remember that teens and preteens are a driving force in the music market and the magazine needs to cater to them sometimes. However, if one is liberally inclined, there is no better place for political articles and cultural debates than RS. I have read far more indepth articles here on the state of the war and the atrocities of the Bush administration than in "Time" or "Newsweek". Am I concerned about the latest details on Amy Winehouse's trainwreck of a life or Rihanna's hairstyle? Nope, but the environmental stories (which are cutting edge), political articles, and occasional appearances by my favourite comediens (such as Chris Rock, as shown on this page) keep me wanting more Stone! Plus, every now and then they might have an article about Robert Smith or David Bowie that keeps me musically happy. Get the Rollingstone and get informed!!!

Rating: - Cancelled!
Ever since they started routinely putting flavor of the month American Idol and Mickey Mouse Club artists on the front of the magazine I became embarassed to have it deliverd to me. With the exception of Frick's Picks they mostly review radio friendly albums marketed by large record companies that nobody will care about in a year. In addition most of the political coverage is either biased or poorly researched.

I understand Rolling Stones desire to remain relevant by covering artists that will only have fleeting success, but they've gone too far in an effort to just sell magazines. They've sacraficed their ability to have any long term influence on the music industry and become simply a mirror of the reality show driven and celebrity obsessed pop culture that currently exists.
