Advantages: covers the past and present of rock

Disadvantages: magazine title

I used to buy kerrang many years ago until it slowly moved more into the grunge/thrash arena which wasn't my scene. At that time it was probably the only magazine aimed at the true rock music lover and it was a shame they forgot about the rest...

Many years later I had seen the Classic rock magazine but took the title too literally and felt it wouldn't be my thing. Then several friends started mentioning it, and recommending it, so a gave it a trial.

I haven't looked back.

Excellent coverage of old and new bands.

Ratings of past band albums to let all the youngsters know what they have been missing. It made me dust of a few albums which I had forgetten about :-)

An In brief section to get a quick grasp of the news while rushing your breakfast coffee.

Normal new album reviews.

Cover CD of past greats, multimedia and new up and coming bands. This has already got me buying albums of new bands that I wouldn't normally give the time of day to.

Beginners Guide to.. , face off special and story behind the album sections (excellent sections)

I was even pleased to see Great Whites Gig getting a mention. (I was there. superb band)

I'm looking forward to hearing some more David Coverdale when he releases his new solo album.

This magazine has now increased the amount of music that I take the time to listen to.
