Rolling Stone is a rag not worthy of me wiping my ass with

[tiedyetoga]

It makes me want to start my own Magazine. Its not worth it in this day and age, though.

[Stephengencs]

Lemme know when you are ready Gray, I will hit the phones and asphalt running to sell adspace...

[tiedyetoga]

Magzines are good if you have the following:

1. A very sucesful corporation with captial.
2. A magazine idea that has not been done and will appeal to a mass audience.

You will make very little profit and most likely just break even. Its a nice outlet for your company if you can afford it. Who knows, maybe one day it will be Relix who?

"1. A very sucesful corporation with captial. "

Could be Sharin\' in a few years.....

You never know.

The Rolling Stones: Good tunes, but not a "great" band.

Aretha Franklin: Singing "Respect", originally an Otis Redding tune about women respecting their men... not exactly how it\'s thought of today.

U2: I don\'t like them.  Maybe they belong on the list, but not ahead of Neil Young, The Doors, The Who and The Clash.

Nirvana: For the 1,000,000th time, WHAT DID KURT COBAIN DO?

Prince: Just the fact that he\'s not ahead of Nirvana...

Patti Smith: Apparently Rolling Stone needed an extra woman to make this list PC.

Oh yeah, AND WHERE IS THE GRATEFUL DEAD?

[Stephengencs]

King,  Buy Exile on Main Street and tell me that the Stones aren\'t a great band....

[tiedyetoga]

Also where is Miles Davis and Pink Floyd?

[rustyD]

THE WHO most definitely deserves a top-ten spot, c\'mon now!!

[jocelyn]

Miles Davis? Wow, I assumed this was just a list of rock and roll bands. If it were to include jazz musicians, that would open a whole can of worms. Miles Davis certainly wouldn\'t be the one and only jazz artist on there!

[tiedyetoga]

"artists" - Miles was an Artist. So I think they should have added "artists" from all genders.

[Stephengencs]

oooh and I just noticed that The Band is 50 below Public Enemy and RunDMC.....Gimme a fucking break.....

This list blows and so does Rolling Stone....

Lennon gets his own spot but Harrison and/or McCartney dont?

Idiots!!!!
