Well personally I think Classy CrockPig has really gone Censoreddown the hill the last two years, with some really poor journalim and their bloody top 40 or 100 lists abourt everything.
 
I used to buy almost everymonth, for there were at least one or two articles I liked and two more that seemed correct, but lately, I've bought the rag every four months or so. Always the same bad groups featured, it's a bit sickeningDead
 
 
While it's true that they do look up to progClap, I haven't been able to forgive their short-sightedness outside UK and US rockThumbs Down. There has been fewer articles about lesser known groups, too!!!
 
 
And since that time of poor journalism started with those lists, the porno adds and pink telephone adds have appeared in the adds section past the merchandising and CD retailers, >>> real classyDead
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

So the wife won't suspect that this sort of stuff would be in a music mag ? Bonus !

For the casual reader that is only exposed to North American music media (Rolling Stone, Spin, Blender et al), it does a good job. But then I get to read it at Chapters bookstore once every two months. (it costs $15)

Classic Rock is the best of a bad bunch by some distance. Unfortunately, they tend to emphasise eighties American rock, such as Guns 'n' Roses, presumably because this is what sells. I'll give them credit where it's due though as they have featured ELP, Yes, Budgie, and Foghat. Their cover discs can be very good and have included quality material from Nektar and Ozric Tentacles.

Q Magazine is to be avoided at all costs as they sl*g-off progressive rock.
