Talk:Musician (magazine)

I have a 1980 issue of Musician and it stated that it's musician of the decade for the 1960's were the Beatles. Therefore I would think that the magazine itself was around in the 1960's. Would'nt you think so too? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Ronwash61 (talk • contribs) 03:47, 13 December 2006 (UTC)


 * nope. it was founded in 1976 :)24.91.233.228 06:25, 16 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Not really. My local oldies radio station has only been around for 10 years, but they're happy to promote their list of greatest hits of the 1960s. VH1 plays music videos that were made before its ancestor MTV was a gleam in Michael Nesmith and Bob Pittman's eyes. I'd take Musician's statement to mean that only that they have a collective professional opinion, unless we have evidence to the contrary. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 06:01, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

Don't I hear that Musician used to be up there with Rolling Stone and Spin? If that's the case, how on earth is this still a single-sentence article? –Unint 05:00, 23 March 2007 (UTC)


 * i'm not sure if it was up there with 'Rolling Stone', but i think it was up there with 'Spin'. It was pretty prominent and relevant in the 80s and early 90s. always a serious, intelligent magazine from a 'musician's perspective. the articles were intelligently written, it wasn't a particularly flashy magazine; just about the music. i used to work there for a short time. always a really cool atmosphere in the office; super-cool, great people too :)
 * yes the article should have more. i know that gordon baird and sam holdsworth founded it. here is a little article i just googled on musician: http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m3065/is_11_32/ai_10938447324.91.233.228 06:15, 16 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Best music magazine there ever has been. If you want a fantastic retrospective of the music from 1990ish to the end of the magazine, pick up the compilations called "A Little on the CD" (31 total releases).
