# I remember the day I stopped my copy of NME at the paper shop and the shop owner asked
me why and I opened up the current copy and just pointed at page after page of shit bands. It was in hindsight I realised I could have done this 15 years previously and saved myself a small fortune.

The crossword was always good, mind.

# THIS ^^^
With big sexy knockers on. I loved doing the crossword but when it got to the stage where i might care about two or three artists in the whole of the NME i knew it was time to let it go and just go live in a cave and listen to Kyuss for the rest of eternity.

# This is an extremely familiar story
I stopped getting the NME when I realised that the only thing I was buying it for was the crossword, and much as I enjoyed it it wasn't worth the cost.

# Same reason I stopped buying Kerrang!
after 10 years. I think I vomited eighteen times into a passing granny's handbag when I read the word "NWOBHM" (New Wave of British Heavy Metal).

# I imagine about 15 years ago and earlier, the magazine had some worth.
But then there I go, comparing music from the 80s/90s to the music today. Nowadays, it's all about money, pushing a button in Garageband or FL Studio and away you go, debut album. Music's great when it's about spreading a message, and all that hippie stuff.

# I bet if someone had given you an NME magazine 15 years ago you would have thought it was shit then too,
seeing as it uses long words and doesn't contain friendly pictures of Spot the Dog.

# Yeah, I mean, if I was my age back then.
Saying that though, I think I was reading Viz at 6 years old.

# Actually, there must have been a few gems going off the end of year list. 1997 was a pretty good year.

Apart from the Verve. Never liked the Verve.
