Advantages: Brimming with articles, news and reviews - as well as free gifts!

Disadvantages: None

This is the only magazine that I actually go out of my way to buy - and religiously buy every month. Whats so good about it is they don't judge music by how 'cool' it is and what 'buzz' bands have got. Thats what I hate about NME and Q, they see music from the 60's 70's and 80's as complete rubbish, unless its 'punk' or 'new-wave'.

I happen to love classic rock music, The Eagles, Led Zeppelin, Whitesnake, even 'Ratt', but those former magazines would instantly dismiss a lot of rock music as complete drivel.

Classic Rock has several great sections. An up to date classic rock news section that gives uinformation on new bands and albums and tours. It always has excellent features usually based around a particular genre, for instance a whole issue may be based around Southern Rock.

It's reviews are also very fair, giving time for larger bands whose new albums are out as well as smaller bands just cutting their first records.

Classic Rock also reviews new gigs and has a great adverts section advertising bands who will be playing around the country.

Classic Rock also usually has a free CD or DVD with it, which is great when the magazine usually retails for around £4.50.

Its well worth buying for anybody who loves the classic rock sound of the 70's and 80's and wants to hear new bands with a similar sound. The magazine doesn't only concentrate on heavy rock, you might also get articles on folk-rock and country-rock, as well as death-metal.

Classic Rock is available at most news agents, Smiths always has it in - so go check it out!

Summary: A great magazine!
