Rosehip Jul 2020 10:13pm, 21 Jul 2020 17,088 posts	0 Rosehip There is a four foot high pile of Kerrang in daughter's room, I don't really remember ever reading any mags, apart from the occasional NME in the early 80s - but two girls from school were regular Jackie and then Cosmo (or another older girls mag?) models for the agony aunt columns
57.5 Degrees of Pain Jul 2020 11:32pm, 21 Jul 2020 5,999 posts	0 57.5 Degrees of Pain My two regular reads were Shoot! from about 1973-80 and NME from 1987-1990 and 1993-1999. Bought NME, MM, and Sounds in the late 70s/ early-mid 80s if I liked a band on the cover or was going to be stuck on a train. Q later fulfilled the same function. Smash Hits was for girlies, ah the blind prejudice of youth. I thought the NME writers were pretty good after Tony Parsons and Julie Burchill were booted/ flounced away. At least the ones who remain in the public eye like Maconie, Quantick and Danny Kelly.
