Sure, but I would also expect mags like that to be kind of reluctant towards having a "canon", which means they wouldn't produce all-time-best lists, but rather concentrate on what is current and new.

this seems a salient observation and i agree. though it would be interesting to see Touch do a top 100 albums - one assumes it would deliberately exclude 'NME music' in the way NME deliberately excludes 'Touch music' - the only overlaps being the Bristolian trip-hoppers, Dizzee and Roots.

ILM would ignore metal more than any other genre (yes even more than British hip-hop and rnb).
― Sororah T Massacre (blueski), Thursday, 26 January 2006 15:25 (eighteen years ago) link
Yes some of the 4K and 5K album reviews of the more obscure artists may be OTM - but you can find out about those in Terrorizer or on the web.
Terrorizer £ 3.20 per mouth and Free CD Kerrang £1.95 * 4 issues = is £7.80
― DJ Martian (djmartian), Thursday, 26 January 2006 15:31 (eighteen years ago) link
But Terrorizer have covered all that Nightwish type shit. So it all evens out in my book.
I like the fact that kerrang is open to more indie/alt rock stuff(remember they have covered Cypress Hill and The Prodigy too) It's just a shame they seem to be more concerned with the bigger sellers or bands on big labels than some of the great stuff thats come out in recent years.Isis, Electric Wizard, Jesu, Pelican, Sunno))) have never had Kerrang covers. It's time they did.
Have NME covered those bands at all?

Isis, Electric Wizard, Jesu, Pelican, Sunno))) have never had Kerrang covers. It's time they did.
Rock Sound magazine covers all those bands, but unfortunately also covers a lot of generic emo / hardcore / commercial rock tripe.
The day the NME puts any other of those on the front cover - will never arrive. Can you imagine the NME trying to promote/understand the brilliance of Jesu - to a bunch of Kaiser Chiefs / Oasis / Doherty / Strokes loving plebs
Although I could see pre Mark Sutherland era Melody Maker covering Jesu, also Sounds would have had them on the front cover.
Britain does need some weekly opposition to the trad-rock songs NME and the no quality control Kerrang.
[correction: Kerrang is £1.99 these days not £1.95]
― DJ Martian (djmartian), Thursday, 26 January 2006 15:57 (eighteen years ago) link
A weekly mag that covered everything and took risks would be great.
― Last Of The Famous International Pfunkboys (Kerr), Thursday, 26 January 2006 16:00 (eighteen years ago) link
There is an extreme metal section, they also tend to cover all bases of rock / metal - therefore there are going to be sections that don't interest everyone.
I would say Metal Hammer these days is a combo of Kerrang, Rock Sound and Terrorizer.
However like Kerrang - quality control suffers particularly in the front cover dept, how many times has Him been on the front cover.
― DJ Martian (djmartian), Thursday, 26 January 2006 16:10 (eighteen years ago) link
I think poor quality control for front covers is the same for all those magazines at any time of their existence, and not just now.
Remember all those shitty hair metal bands with covers who sold shitloads of albums but never got in writers polls cos they didn't actually like them(sorry ILM hair metal fans)
It's no different now. How many of the bands who get regular front covers actually get in the writers polls?
And NME always get accused of putting stuff on the front cover thatthe writers don't like but the editorial team insists so the magazine will sell.

I'm sure putting cellophane on magazines must harm sales. Everyone I know likes to read it 1st.

1. The list pretends The Beatles never existed2. At least half of the albums on the list are by African American acts.
Better realise you'll never see a list like that.

You are insane. I mean, we all remember that time when Muse were on the cover of NME every week even before their debut album had surfaced - those were the days eh? (A better example might be Ash)
Mind you, I don't understand Kerrang's love for Muse bar their guitar tech-wankery articles.
