Ozzy: rubbish singer says Q magazine

Even if the artists it covered were relatively (if not very) mainstream, the articles used to be very readable. Now you get one - two if you're lucky, then most of it given over to some stupid list.

I only still buy it because I like to get one monthly, your Voxes and Selects fell by the wayside, and Uncut and Mojo are boring beyond belief. But my copy now passes round several people that all used to buy their own. 2/3 hours later, they're done with it. And I'm sorely tempted to stop getting it entirely...

about 3 or 4 weeks ago and i can't remember for the life of me what it was called.

I do remember it was primarily London based and they had a feature in it where some of the staff split into a couple of teams and went around London trying to get into as many gigs in one night as they could - for free.

I thought it was an alright may actually.

I only bought it because the Shins where on the front cover and Wincing was featured.

a and-now-the-worst-singers-ever insert for, hmm, let me guess, a TOP 100 GREATEST SINGERS OF ALL TIME EVER!!!!! list?

Their album reviews are free of star ratings/percentages/Ks/whatever. I like that.

they're right. But they're Q and I want them all to die, so I never said so.

That sounds like Play Music magazine to me. Started off I believe as a freebie in guitar shops etc with tons of articles on guitar reviews, microphone reviews, recording etc but has now got a big brother of a proper music mag. It's pretty good, the writing isnt always fantastic but they cover a lot of good stuff and a lot of young good new bands that no other glossy touches (untitled musical project etc).

I read Uncut for the first time in ages last week and thought it was dead good. It covered a decent range of stuff, had a nice feature on Morrissey (or The Smiths, can't remember) in which loads of great songwriters were asked to talk about their favourite Moz penned tune and they ran an article on my most favouritest band! Hoorah for Uncut, I say.

more like poo.

i don't read any magazines really, but if i pick one up it surely isn't Q.
