That Brooke Shields cover is well beyond HOT! Absolutely beautiful!I have it framed!

Wow.Brooke Shields was a living doll! Still cute but on that cover she looks flawless.

I forgot how hot Gillian Anderson is.

That Brooke Shields cover needs to be made into a poster.Lovely girl.Flawless,really.

Damn, Meryl Streep looks so hot on that cover. I want to try to get that as a desktop background on my laptop! Yeah baby!

I totally love the Gillian Anderson cover. Where is she now?

Where’s the one when Elvis died? That’s a total classic. I remember reading somewhere that the editors looked for the least iconographic photo of the King they could find, and used that – and that only made the image all the more powerful.

HOTTEST COVER EVER! LOLITA BROOKE SHIELDS IN ALL HER UNDERAGE GLORY!

Brooke was & still is a beautiful girl and really down to earth to her fans.I met her in NY & she was a complete sweetheart made my trip!

God bless you Brooke if you are reading this & congrats,that cover is timeless!

That John Lennon/Yoko cover makes me want to fuckin’ puke

Gillian Anderson, clearly

The Strokes, November 2003. It helped introduce this young man to the power of guitars and how awesome music can be when the band is too cool to be worried about fame.

No Band? Damn shame…

I really like the illustrated Stevie Wonder cover art, circa 1975. Music is the colour, landscapes, thoughts and images envisioned in one’s mind.

i wish someone would asked kurt what magazines he deemed cool. Because quite frankly most if not 99 % of indie zines are very bad

” do you like think sonic youth is cool ? DUHHHHHHH ”

Give me rolling stone any day , i just wish they would pull back on the politics

I usually love most of the covers, my faves are: the one with Jim Morrison that says something like “he’s young, he’s hot, he’s dead” the one with the Red Hot Chili Peppers all nude was good, although it was lacking John which sucked, and Quentin Tarantino & Uma Thurman together was cool to see on the cover.

Brooke Shields = yummy princess from head to creamy pink toes!

The one with Linda Rondstadt, from the 70s. I used to jerk off to that.

wow, what self-indulgent tripe you peddle these days, RS. Your magazine sucks now.

Go ahead and put Britney Spears on the cover again and lecture us on indie credibility. Assholes.

Cheap Trick 1979

Someone took my John & Yoko Rolling Stone that I bought at the time of Double Fantasy. I miss it. It says it all so eloquently, and it was absolutely controversial at the time.
Peace to the world, give peace a chance.

Best Decade for covers: the 90s–just a lot of variety, and each one was designed for that particular artist/cover subject.

The 80s went through a bland phase where the same type was used for the headlines for every issue.

The 00’s are getting boring–an overuse of the same type and colors (red and gold?), and lack of creativity with cover art ideas.

Dana Carvey
Robin Williams in the 1990s cover
Janet Jackson

Agreed on the Elvis, 1977. That’s number 1. Not a big fan of the man himself but the cover was extraordinary.

Seinfeld cast as ‘Wizard of Oz’. Brilliant.

Bart Simpson-nevermind cover
Guns n roses first RS cover
Courtney Love’s first RS cover
Brad Pitt’s first RS cover
Nirvana’s first RS cover
Jennifer Aniston’s Butt shot cover
The Grateful Dead in 87′

Christina Agulara-half naked with the guitar.
James Hetfield 90’s cover
Layne Staley-The needle and the damage done cover
Stone Temple Pilots-Limo Cover
Angelina Jolie-Blood Sugar Sex Magic
Led Zep-2006
Pink Floyd-2007

Bono in 1993. The Fly in sepia.

There’s a Cameron Crowe interview with Neil Young in the mid-70’s and the cover is Neil drawn like he’s a “cosmic cowboy from the coolest cartoon ever created”.
…and I’ve always wondered why so many people mention that the John & Yoko cover photo from the Dakota on the morning of December 8th 1980 bugs them…and isn’t there a “Seinfeld” cover homage to Meet the Beatles?
Some really great stuff over the years and some basic boring face shots that are the same ol same ol.
…and the whole muti-layer reality of Dr. Hook..”I’m gonna buy 5 copies for my mother…or is it “I’m gonna send 5 copies to my mother”???

what’s up with all the guys stroking it to Gillian Anderson? Let’s be truthful, she’s a bit bland.
If you really want hot, how about the June 1984 issue with Christy Canyon on the cover….grrr…oh, wait. sorry wrong magazine. eh, nevermind.

Those 90’s/00’s covers that always featured a liberal amount of skin:

Janet Jackson
Jennifer Aniston
Cindy Crawford
Britney Spears
Laura Dern
Demi Moore
Mariah Carey (the bikini shot)
Beavis & Butt-Head sitting on Pamela Anderson’s lap

And the 1991 Guns N’ Roses cover. Epitome of rock god cool for me.

This one’s easy – The Sunday’s cover of “Wild Horses” is phenomenal.

That Brooke Shields cover is HOT!

OASIS
SPRINGSTEEN
GNR
RUSH WERE THEY ON THERE??

Does anyone know how to get back issues of jim morrison and other artist from the 60-70’s?
