More about Music magazines:
What's a music buff to do while enjoying the latest tracks? Why, flip through the pages of a music magazine, of course. Music-focused titles are packed with suggestions of bands to watch, songs to download and concerts to attend. True aficionados have a soft spot for quintessential music mag Rolling Stone, a publication thats been covering the industry for more than 40 years. With in-depth band and artist profiles, tons of CD and song reviews, and iconic photography, Rolling Stone has remained a favorite even as it has transitioned into more of a general pop culture magazine. If youre all about the music, titles like Blender and Spin may be up your alley. Blender, created by the irreverent founders of Maxim magazine, takes an edgy approach to all genres of music, with no-nonsense reviews and previews making up the bulk of the mag. Spin, likewise, grants a backstage pass to fans of rock n roll, keeping listeners up to date on their favorite artists and tracking trends to predict the ones to watch. For music fans who are into discovering new bands, Paste Magazine is a good bet. Paste prides itself on its genre-spanning scope and attention to songwriting, and each issue comes with a sampler CD, so youre always the first to hear up-and-comers. If you love hip hop and R&B music, check out titles like XXL and Vibe, two magazines dedicated to urban music and culture. And if making music is your bag, you can find tips on writing music and playing instruments in magazines like Acoustic Guitar, Strings and Making Music. |
