    So with all the talk of how sh*te hotpress and NME are (most of which has been said I do agree with) I'm wondering what sites or mags do ye all go for?

    www.pitchforkmedia.com although it can annoy me at times...

    I use to read Uncut and that introduced me to a lot of great bands and singer songwriters,however now it's kind of monotonous and im sick of their worship on the big big names like bob dylan and the beatles every month relentlessly they never put a band on the cover unless they have sold at least a million albums!,pitchforkmedia is handy for a quick look at a review.

    Uncut is the only one I buy regularly. The free cd is usually decent. Would agree with the cover/main feature always being on the same few artists..u2/stones/dylan/boss/clash:mad: Would have a browse over mojo/hotpress/Q but rarely buy.
    online allmusic.com and pitchfork
