RS magazine is to music in print that MTV is to music in video. They started out as music centered but both morphed into culture centric entities vying for approval from the like-minded.

The first time I saw a full-page cigarette ad in RS was a signal to me that the plot line at that once "important" magazine had gone off course.

It's kind of like the remaining members of the Doors (well, maybe not Ray) refusing to allow Doors' songs be used for TV commercials. 

It's said that $$ eventually dominates the conversation, and so far thats proven accurate.

@dgd - I was in college in the early 70's, and we'd get the issues of RS that had 'Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas' in it, and yeah, my friends in the dorm and I all loved that - we wanted to get us some adrenochrome!  What review of a new Quicksilver album? 

It's all a matter of personal tastes. Survey 100 people,and you end up with 100 different lists.
