1. The Beatles
2. The Clash.....and I love the Clash
3. Sid Vicious....he doesn't embody anything, and he didn't contribute enough to the band he was to warrant the coverage.
4. Brtiney Spears

Others?

Mark E. Smith smiling.

― Huk-L, Thursday, 9 September 2004 19:41 (twenty-one years ago)

Gotta disagree there, Huk. I think a cover story about The Fall would be refreshing.....as disquieting as Smith's visage has become.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Thursday, 9 September 2004 19:42 (twenty-one years ago)

Jim Morrison
Mick Jagger

Oh, I get it, you're talking about overexposure, not just ugly fugs.

Um, okay, Dylan, natcherly.

― Huk-L, Thursday, 9 September 2004 19:44 (twenty-one years ago)

xpost, ALL BOOMERS AWAY FROM THE MAGAZINE RACKS NOW!

― Huk-L, Thursday, 9 September 2004 19:44 (twenty-one years ago)

Mark E. Smith should be on the cover of Teen People.

― n/a (Nick A.), Thursday, 9 September 2004 19:45 (twenty-one years ago)

This thread is really just motivated by the recent covers of MOJO and UNCUT (featuring the Beatles and the Clash, respectively). I'm not knocking the bands here, but c'mon...haven't we exhumed corpses already and sifted through every last detail that could possibly be discussed already? Aren't even the fans of these bands tired of it?

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Thursday, 9 September 2004 19:46 (twenty-one years ago)

M E. S dishes the dirt on hot fall fashion!

― Huk-L, Thursday, 9 September 2004 19:46 (twenty-one years ago)

"Aren't even the fans of these bands tired of it?"

Um, Beatles fans tired of looking at pictures of the Beatles?

my first thought was karen o, but if she doesn't stay visible i'll never know if her eyes are going to keep moving closer together.

― mike bott, Thursday, 9 September 2004 19:51 (twenty-one years ago)

Alex, you forgot Eve and Avril.

― scott seward (scott seward), Thursday, 9 September 2004 19:52 (twenty-one years ago)

Remember Will Oldham? Him.

― Ian Christe (Ian Christe), Thursday, 9 September 2004 19:52 (twenty-one years ago)

Every Artist that NME have put on their front cover this century.

Anyone with a beard, probably.

Sid Vicious....he doesn't embody anything

wow, speechless

― kephm, Thursday, 9 September 2004 20:00 (twenty-one years ago)

By that I meant that Sid Vicious is ultimately just a red herring...a convenient cartoon character which only served to discredit Punk Rock as a passing fad.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Thursday, 9 September 2004 20:08 (twenty-one years ago)

Nirvana - and I love Nirvana.
I mean, I'm only 15, and I've seen them on magazine covers a LOT.

― Nowell, Thursday, 9 September 2004 20:29 (twenty-one years ago)

15? cripes.

Bernard Sumner. Cos he's got nothing to say in interviews, nothing to say in his lyrics...just a tedious everyman who found himself in the spotlight cos of Ian...

― paulhw (paulhw), Thursday, 9 September 2004 20:32 (twenty-one years ago)

Killing Joke- I mean they were good and everything but give it a rest people!

― Frondie Johnson, Thursday, 9 September 2004 21:18 (twenty-one years ago)

― minge, Friday, 10 September 2004 00:06 (twenty-one years ago)

Lenny Kravitz.

So I don't look at it in a magazine rack accidentally and then I throw up and then I have to buy all the magazines because I threw up on all the magazines and the shop has to close down because there's no more magazines left in the magazine shop because I threw up on them.

Sorry about that. I just needed to get the horrible feel from my typing fingers from typing 'Lenny Kravitz'.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Eminem and Kurt Cobain.

'discredit'?

― dave q, Friday, 10 September 2004 03:51 (twenty-one years ago)

Magazine strictly enforced a no-cameo rule whenever we did covers. What's all this then?

― Howard Devoto, Friday, 10 September 2004 05:31 (twenty-one years ago)

MICHAEL JACKSON (unless in prison garb; and even then, only from the nose down.)

― Myonga Von Bontee (Myonga Von Bontee), Friday, 10 September 2004 09:32 (twenty-one years ago)

i don't think i've ever seen elvis on the cover of any music magazine (except the rolling stone that came out after he died, obv).

― J.D. (Justyn Dillingham), Friday, 10 September 2004 11:53 (twenty-one years ago)

― peter smith (plsmith), Friday, 10 September 2004 12:24 (twenty-one years ago)

Also I am getting sick of these people on covers: Jessica Simpson, Usher, Christina Aguilera, Justin Timberlake.

Who should be on covers MORE often?

― Nowell, Friday, 10 September 2004 18:40 (twenty-one years ago)

Thank you, Poppy, you have made my day!

― n/a (Nick A.), Friday, 10 September 2004 18:50 (twenty-one years ago)

The Libertines. The Strokes. Eminem.

Dashboard Confessional

Heh. Probably because their era of landing magazine covers is deservedly OVER at last.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Saturday, 11 September 2004 18:09 (twenty-one years ago)

'fraid not, the 10th anniversary Definitely Maybe shebang seems to have brought them back again.
