Descriere

"I remember seeing SPIN for the first time in eighth grade with Madonna on the cover. SPIN also covered bands that I never heard before. Fast forward to 1994 and Green Day is on the cover—with the same eighth–grade education." — Billie Joe Armstrong, Green Day " SPIN magazine introduced me to bands that I never would have heard otherwise. For this I am forever indebted. And they don′t just slip the easiest, sleaziest sell onto their cover. They take chances. They definitely took one on the Killers." — Brandon Flowers, The Killers "I still remember our first SPIN cover, and even now it seems pretty surreal. SPIN has always captured artists in the most creative and ambitious way, and we love that we are part of that tradition." — Gerard Way, My Chemical Romance "From the early years of my career, and through everything I′m working on today, SPIN has been supportive of my music. Congratulations on 25 years as an important and unique publication." — Joan Jett "When I look back at old SPIN covers, I can tell you where I was, what lousy job I had, and what type of new acne medicine I was trying. This is the magazine of my generation and many more to come." — Joel McHale, The Soup, Community Celebrate the 25th anniversary of SPIN magazine with this classic anthology of some of its most memorable articles, each with a new introduction by the author. Spanning a quarter–century of music, SPIN: Greatest Hits is an essential addition to every pop culture collection.
