I don’t recall seeing a U2 cover this year.Since they’re the GREATEST Band in HISTORY,that’s CRIMINAL!!

Has to be Shakira. Definitely

Green Day/U2 collaboration

the racounteurs

Britney in all her exposed-ness.

Axl Rose made a ton of headlines this year…but I can only assume you will have him on the cover when Chinese Democracy comes out in March….

Fall Out Boy had a really awesome year.

Is Rollingstone daring enough to place Catpower on its cover? Nah.
She didn’t sell a boat load of records, but it is the best album of the year.

I just want to see your covers setting trends rather than following them. The new Ghostface album is amazing? Put him on the cover! TV On The Radio has the 4th best album of the year? Where was their cover?

I look at your top 50 records of the year and very few of them got covers. Instead, popular, sucky, attractive artists like Fergie get covers. That seems backwards. This isn’t EW or People Mag. Go back to your roots, RS. I was looking through your book of covers in Barnes and Noble yesterday, and it made me sad.

Axl Rose and Robin Finck (together).

sufjan stevens: prolific, musical, Christian, and undangerously dangerous (or dangerously undangerous). Good cover material.

Here are a few that are cover worthy… Gnarls Barkley… Barrack Obama, Raconteurs, dylan with the foo fighters (since they toured together), pink floyd tribute w/focus on Syd Barrett, (it was done with zeppelin), Angels and Airwaves (life after blink 182), Emo leadmen (brandon flowers, and the leads for MyChemROMANCE, panic!, and fallout). How about Sir Elton? With his new record? I almost forgot…how do you guys forget about WOLFMOTHER?

U2

Tenacious D

The Who. It was their year, but for some reason you decided to put Fergie on the cover. Even the illustration of congress could have been substituted for a Who cover. Your a music mag Rollingstone, stick to your guns

MAY NOT BE FLASHY,BUT CAN ROCK TOT TO TOE WITH ANYONE,BOB SEGER

RS covers were not good in 2006. In 05 we had Paul McCartney, White Stripes, Weezer etc. I vote for a huge miss on the Raconteurs!

Fergie looks like Shakira after about one beer…it would take 50 beers however to make her do-able.

I applaud you for not doing a Green Day/U2 cover, seeing as how they both suck it may just make your magazinge bias enough to piss me off. Wolfmother all the beyotches!

Tool definitly deserved to be on a cover of RS in 2006

i was waiting all year for a Raconteurs cover… instead i got Fergie. and the American idol hosts, and Pearl Jam and RHCP(AGAIN). RS, you guys really suck now. Next year resolve to put relatively NEW, non-shitty, artists on the cover please.

For music, The Killers. They deserve a cover.

For for film or tv, how about the cast of Heroes?

I personally could see you skip the half-nude covers of Lindsay Lohan, Fergie and their kin.

I am wondering why certain artists keep getting placement on the cover of the magazine, namely people such as Dylan, the Stones, McCartney, etc., as well as starts like Jack Nicholson. I am aware that they are still doing stuff, but it seems as though you have something of a double standard here. When these people were starting out you gave them plenty of press, and through the years you followed them, even giving them press when they weren’t doing anything of relevance. It seems a pity that there are so many modern acts out there that could use the coverage your giving them still. It would be nice if you devoted at least one full issue to all rising talent. I guess I’m saying spread the love to those who could really use it.

The Who should have been on the cover this year, and Pete Townshend should have been on the front row of your 1,000th issue–instead of way in the back. What a slap in the face to one of rock’s greatest composers, innovators, performers and contributors!

Definitely the Who. Their first album in 24 years, not to mention their best in 33 years, and their touring again. After all the build up RS has created with them, they didn’t do any major articles. Also, try to get Axl on the cover when Chinese Democracy comes out. If you don’t, that would be an even bigger crime.

In fact, adding to the Axl thing, how ’bout a cover with him slugging it out with Tommy Hilfiger, who whoever it was he got into a “fight” with.

tv on the radio(for giving true black soul and rhythm for what radiohead aspires for), dallas green (look him up, a canadian mastermind, responsible for the superb “city and colour” solo project and alexisonfire, amazing releases in ‘06), mastodon (for doing everything metallica couldnt, rock)… get informed, if your not. rollingstone could you a few good writers and ballsier editors. stop regurgitating crap you schlock rag. predictable rollingstone. http://www.myspace.com/drewtrudeau

and i could use a spellcheck and another hit from my bowl.

Drew…since when does Radiohead aspire to “true black soul and rhythm

i think we can all agree we love rollingstone… or at least what it was. its just a real shame its not worth subscribing to anymore. you’ve become a shit rag rollingstone. grow some balls. sell some magazines.

who playing rock music doesn’t aspire to what music its roots are so very much buried in. rhythm and blues my friends. don’t argue.

gnarls barkley… damn that must have been a tough choice… them or christina aguilera. come on now. don’t leave the artists behind the summer’s most hottest track, an instant obvious classic. and they’re left for my verbal fodder. in this silly “afterthought” gimic!

WOLFMOTHER- Best album of the year

The Who First album in 24 years, come on!

Rolling Stones Biggest tour ever.

Elton John

Incubus

Tenacious D… come on, in the movie they were idolizing the guys from the covers of rolling stone, and they didn’t even get on it? how lame is that?

U know Rolling Stone u know what u did. Don’t try to make up for it now. Just kidding… no umm…is this really a we didn’t put ur band on the cover thing or is it just getting ideas for next years covers. Let’s think about this… obviously the Katrina victims needed one, Martin Scorcesee w/the cast of the Departed, My Chem and alot of the dudes from the New Rock scene, Panic!, Killers,Gnarles,Oprah: cause she just needs one please put her on one, Madea: that was some funny stuff, and a Punk tribute cover, would have been rad to see one.

I’m really pissed I couldn’t see Fergie’s penis on my copy of his/her cover

my morning jacket

Muse. One of the biggest bands in the world that RS loves to hate and now they’re cracking America. Show some respect for the best live band in the world!

Ummmm….to whomever said Axl Rose, I can guarantee he’ll get the cover once the album finally materializes.

As for artists that should’ve got the cover: Regina Spektor and Gogol Bordello. The first a Russion-American who pours more emotion, eloquence and subtlety into single verses than most artists can summon in entire albums, while Gogol Bordello is a collective composed of European nationals that mix punk, folk, and world music with uncontainable energy. If you’ve yet to see them live, you’re missing out on not just a great show, but an experience.

Screw axl rose. even if the album is good, it took him how many years to make it that good? big deal!
put the Scissor Sisters on the cover.

A few people that come to mind of who should have been on the cover…Axl Rose,The Who,U2,John Lennon-when I say him,Rolling Stone could have done something on the 26h aniversary of his death and I think maybe Paul McCartney & Ringo Starr together to talk about the days of the Beatles,John and George and to discuss the musical “Love”

Ryan Adams

he’ll be around for ever you may as well put him on now and make it a classic…

Who the fuck are “Shakira,”and “Fergie”???? What do they have to do with Rock ‘n’Roll?????

Janet jackson
Syd Barret r.i.p. cover
Raconteurs
Aerosmith
Tenaucius D

Scarlett Johansson.

I was gonna say the D, but someone convinced me that it’s clearly Fergie’s penis.

am I the only person who don;t understand all the Tenacious D love?? I mean there not even a real band and their movie was horrible. There are far more bands and people who deserve covers then them like catpower or gnarls. I do have to respect the fact that i didn;t have to see any emo band covers.

Bob Seger definitely, The Who also, how about Ray Davies. and nobody needed another Zeppelin cover

tom petty

butch walker

You forgot Daniel Craig, he made an expectacular Bond and it’s supercool too, so….

James Morrison!

….

avenged sevenfold

You didnt feature TAKING BACK SUNDAY this year and i think they are an AWESOME band thats been over looked to many time. I think it’s time they get the recognition they desirve.

You guys over looked TAKING BACK SUNDAY, one of the greatest bands to come along.I think its time to give them the recognition they desirve!!!

Dude, the chili peppers should have had been on the cover every month. They always do the best covers anyways. Best band in the world since the mid 80’s blokes.

Raconteurs, Gnarls Barkley, Daniel Craig, Wolfmother.

Thom Yorke

How about the other four (or technically five, if you count Boom) members of Pearl Jam? I think Rolling Stone missed the story of Vedder wiping his ass with their magazine on stage because the rest of his band wasn’t included on the cover.

I was very disapointed to not see a mega cover with Lindsay Lohan, Nicole Ritchie, Britney Spears, Paris HIlton, Jessica Simpson, Ashlie Simpson, and the Olsen Twins. You should have labeled it this: “Please stop enabling us”

Soul Asylum

Beck

Scarlet Johanson

The Who should have made the cover at least once. Slap in the face as usual. Then not to make it on the top 50 albums of the year? I think you guys gave “Endless Wire” four and a half stars. Where’s the love?….

How about My Chemcial Romance?!

I hope to see an upcoming cover with them on it in 2007. I don’t need to see another cover with Fergie ever again.

How about My Chemical Romance or Gnarls Barkley?! Both, had two of the best albums of the year. I sure don’t need another Fergie cover, plus too many actors on the front this year.

Hopefully, I will see MCR or Gnarls Barkley on the cover in 2007.

Thanks for the White Stripes, but how about the Raconteurs?? Come on! You named them #2 and #28 single, and #28 best album in 2006…but no cover

Definately the Raconteurs.

john mayer.

hands down.

my chemical romance, sid barret rip cover would have been amazing i mean, im fifteen, and i would have loved to see a sid barret cover!, green day AND U2 on the same cover, CBGBs, some real rock bands man. come one, this is supossed to be a music magazine, lets see some bands and not some more actors.

and i had a typo. syd barret.

OASIS!!!
BEST BAND IN THE WORLD!

radiohead came back in a big way this year.

wolfmother, arctic monkeys, daniel craig, AFI, Al Gore, Kevin Smith

Gnarls Barkley

Raconteurs, Beck, and Tenacious D!!!

After 24 years and all the turmoil they have gone thru the WHO record a new studio album and a world tour. One of the biggest rock bands of our time. Rollingstone’s choice for a cover John Stewert. Rollingstone has forgotten it’s roots. Where is Cream magazine when you need it.

PARIS HILTON!

PARIS HILTON!

PARIS HILTON!

WOULD BE GOOD!

LINDSAY LOHAN SHOULD BE ON THE COVER in 2007 in A TINY TINY OUTFIT.SHE IS HOT FROM HEAD TO TASTY TOES!YUMMY I’LL EAT HER BUTTHOLE!

WORST YEAR EVER!

WHAT A LOSER!I HATE HIS BANDS & HE STEALS FROM REAL ARTIST,HE IS A PARASITE & ONLY PEOPLE WITH LIMITED TO NO MUSIC KNOWLEDGE LIKE THIS LITTLE SHIE!

NO YOU FUCKING MORONS IT WASN’T!

-sigh-

ARE YOU MORONS HIGH?RS IS A BUSINESS & WILL PUT WHAT SELLS ON THE COVER!

HINT!

A HALF NUDE FERGIE SELLS.A RIP SYD ISSUE WOULD NOT.

GET IT?

may they perish soon.

Damone should have been on the front and the back. We’re the best band in world so its the least you could do!

AFI had a really good year, they should have had a cover

Panic At the disco should of had a cover this was their best year!! Definately!

Where was be your own PET?

Tool, although they probalbly wouldn’t do the cover and it seems rollingstone doesn’t give two shit about the band because they didn’t start in the sixties.

Damone does rock the casbah! Give’em a cover! “Get Up and Go” rocks your houses!

GOLDFRAPP……hands down.
Have you SEEN the Supernature album cover???….Alison would have done an awesome shot for RS.

She’s a damn sight sexier than Fergie (Meth-ilicious) or Christina

For whatever reason (and I’m sure there is one), Guster barely got any attention from RS with their release of “Ganging Up on the Sun” – not even a review. That said, especially since it was an overlooked great album, a Guster cover would’ve been nice.

gnarls barkely, arctic monkeys.

Lil Wayne…. and me of course!

I sung System of a Down’s “Sugar” at a country bar. The faces on the patrons there were great. My friends were laughing their asses off.

Also, I do a wicked rendition of Chef’s “Chocolate Salty Balls”

Cat Power, Beth Orton and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs instead of Neil Young, Mariah Carey and the American Idol judges, respectively.

tool and the mars volta both should have got covers

kooks

THE WHO, TOM WAITS, LOS LOBOS Y SONIC YOUTH

tv on the radio.. also thom yorke

The Dixie Chicks. Comeback of the year.

MUSE needs a cover

garbage. but that would be the same response in any year since they’ve never had a cover story in the u.s. the title of the story could be “the best band in the world that your not listening to.”

Garbage = Garbage

AXL ROSE

There were maybe four RS covers with deserving, worthwhile subjects this year. Plenty of real, more exciting artists were overlooked.

Regina Spektor, Gogol Bordello, Butch Walker, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, the Decemberists, My Chemical Romance, the Dresden Dolls, Lady Sovereign and plenty of other real artists deserved covers this year.

But what did we get? Christina and Fergie. They’ve got about as much edge as a bowling ball.

MCR!!!!!!!!!!!
Please give them a cover in ‘07!!!

Where were The D ?!?

Yo La Tengo, Tom Waits, The New York Dolls, Beck, Elvis Costello, Mark Knopfler/Emmylou Harris, Pearl Jam. And now, of course, James Brown.

I think the Arctic Monkeys should’ve been represented more this year. Yes, RS loved them, but no cover? Please.

Tesla,Poison,Motley Crue,Aerosmith,Whitelion,Trium ph,Whitesnake,Kurt Cobain,Metallica,Ramones,The Doors,The sex pistols,The Kinks,ac dc,Scorpions,Van Halen,Bon Jovi,Guns n Roses,Cinderella,Def Leppard,Led Zepplin.

HOW COULD I FORGET THE WHO

INCUBUS.

definately

THE WHO!

Axl rose!!!!!!!!!!!!!

you brought us a stupid joke and i brought you a beautiful ‘fuck you!” ;D haha
but a stupid cover won’t change anything in my life, so… JUST FORGET THIS FUCKING ANNOYING EMO THING WHEN YOU’RE TALKING ABOUT MCR! For fuck’s sake! emo are those poor bands like fall out boy! ¬¬’ come on for fuck’s sake don’t you guys know to read the lyrics?
well, whatever.

Bruno?

NME – Thankyou so so so much for allthe articles you’ve done on MCR, they were great!

there aren’t many other magazines that do articles on them, but you are, and when i saw them on the cover in january, i have been buying your magazine ever since!!

As you can probably see i am a big BIG fan of MCR, i saw them at brighton and they rocked!!

so yeah, thanks again

and maybe you could do more in th future?!

the SYD BARRETT cover is aaaaaawesome. syds a legend. syd deserves the cover definitely… SYD is the founding father of PINK FLOYD, give the god his due!!!!!!!!!
