# Not me
I love music but find it to be one of the worst publications going :(

# Kind of,
as far as I am concerned, it was good until they bought Melody Maker and ceased its production, thus removing any need for improving for the competition.

But most music magazines are a pile of twoddle now.

I remember getting floppy-plastic 'cover disks' with NME; curved air I seem to recall. Dunno where THAT went...
