'''''Rolling Stone''''' is a fortnightly magazine, established in 1967. It mainly focuses on {{Pop}} but also discusses other popular culture media such as film, TV and the New Media. In the 1970s famous author Creator/HunterSThompson published ''Literature/FearAndLoathingInLasVegas'' in pre-publication and also wrote a lot of gonzo journalistic articles about politics. From the 1980s on the magazine shifted her format to a more general "entertainment" magazine. Now, "Rolling Stone" has risen to become ''the'' leading magazine on Pop Music and {{Rock}}, drawing their readers' attention to many artists of differing genres over the years. Inevitably they have been criticized too for deriding and ignoring some musicians who were VindicatedByHistory decades later, mostly in the HeavyMetal genre such as Music/BlackSabbath and Music/LedZeppelin, but also ProgressiveRock bands such as Music/PinkFloyd and Music/CaptainBeefheart. It also took a while before they started spending serious attention to PunkRock and HipHop.
