Rolling Stone Tom Petty, 1950-2017: The Ultimate Guide to His Music & Legend by Rolling Stone Magazine
Tom Petty gave us his particular view of American life for over 40 years and, along the way, put together one of the best bands around, in the Heartbreakers. He also made friends and music with some of the heavyweights of music, when he was in the Traveling Wilburys. And finally, he went back and got the old band together for a couple of fine Mudcrutch albums.
And along the way, became one of the more influential artists of his generation.
And all Rolling Stone can do is literally add a single show more paragraph to the introduction to this volume, and slap a different cover on something they released two years earlier.
Fuck you, Rolling Stone. show less

10th Anniversary Issue - Hunter S Thompson - Annie Leibovitz - Rolling Stone Magazine - #254 - December 15, 1977 by Rolling Stone Magazine
I bought this to read Hunter S. Thompson’s piece on the Brown Buffalo, Oscar Zeta Acosta, and that alone was worth the price! Pure Gonzo!
And the Annie Leibovitz retrospective was incredible! So many famous and important subjects! And Linda Ronstadt in “sixty-dollar underwear”!
But I also really enjoyed the flashback of looking through a magazine from 1977! Lots of memories! And this issue reminded me that Rolling Stone was actually a music magazine at one time! Lots of ads for show more instruments and equipment! Not like today’s RS, which seems to be mostly movie and tv crap. show less

This book was one of those "impulse borrows" from the local library. A redundant coffee-table book version of an article and list readily available at http://www.rollingstone.com/, it is a purely subjective ranking of what the musicians, writers, producers, industry insiders, and other critics who voted for them think are the greatest albums of all time. I went through my CD collection and found that I own only 96 of them; including the top seven; nine of the top ten; and ten of the top show more twelve. Right or wrong, this list is sure to start arguments. I personally found the list interesting for the inclusion of a lot of albums that are so-called "critics' darlings" (albums that were influential but didn't sell well), such as Television's *Marquee Moon* at #129. show less
I continued my Nirvana reading kick with this anthology of reviews, interviews, and post-suicide reporting culled from the pages of Rolling Stone magazine. I found myself left with three predominant reactions to the text: 1) Rolling Stone was a much better (and thus relevant) magazine a decade ago when it still occasionally contained *music journalism,* 2) Nirvana had a massive impact on both the commercial music scene and my individual life, and 3) I had a rotten adolescence, memories of show more which reading this book brought right back up. "Cobain" is definitely worth reading for anyone who wants to understand the early- to mid-nineties music scene or what any scene was like pre-Internet, when MTV and print media ruled. show less
