Lets move onto to the wonderful Creem magazine
 
 
heres what it looked like in the 70s
 
 
CREEM Magazine August 1976 (Single Issue Magazine)
 
now some issues with at least some prog artists mentioned
 
Creem Magazine June 1974 - David Angela Bowie Lester Bangs
 
Blimey - Bowie was popular! this features also Roxy Music and Deep Purple
 
CREEM MAGAZINE---NOVEMBER 1979----JIMMY PAGE COVER
 
A Zeppelin issue - why not?
 
CREEM Magazine August 1979 New Barbarians, The Who, Patti Smith
the Who and Rush in 1979 the year of punk!
 
Creem Magazine, June 1979, Blondie, Sex Pistols, Cheap Trick, Roxy Music, Zappa
 
Roxy Music and Zappa are on this cover - but I only posted it cos of Blondie I will admit - meow!
 
Creem Magazine April 1979 Blues Brothers
 
Great if you like Captain Beefheart - But I would have owned this cos Kiss are on the cover - I literally bought everything with them in it.
 
 
Not much prog was there?
 
lets try again
 
Creem Magazine July 1974 Rolling Stones (Single Back Issue)
 
it states King Crimson and Sabbath are in it in 1974...
 
Creem Magazine March 1979 Reader Poll Results
 
Ok we got ELP , Wakeman and Queen.... ho hum. 1979 Readers poll was not into prog sadly
 
Nice to see Devo though! and Heart are fab
 
another?
 
Creem Magazine July 1978 Mick Jagger & Ron Wood
 
Tull in 1978
 
next
 
Creem Magazine September 1977 Ted Nugent

CREEM MAGAZINE - MARCH 1982 - READERS POLL WINNERS
 
readers poll features.... er nobody. But Queen are here somewhere. 1982 was a death knell to prog
 
CREEM MAGAZINE - OCTOBER 1987 ISSUE - THE CURE / AEROSMITH / GENESIS
 
ah Genesis in 1987 who can forget - The Cure is here, forgive me if I dont get excited - I guess this mag flew off the shelves in 1987.

Since most of the classic porg bands of the 70s were quite popular during that decade, it's not surprising that they were featured in music magazines of that time. These days, try progression magazine, for full coverage of all things prog.

Lets keep going - i am learning about mags in the 70s and early 80s here.. i am learning mainstream mags had very little prog
 
 
underground mags were full of it - whats that say? we all know prog is always an alternative style of music
 
did mainstream mags feature prog - were there any prog specials?
 
like this
 
Q Classic: Pink Floyd and the Story of Prog Rock Collectors Edition
 
a Q classic that introduced me to the world of Prog!
 
 
 
lets look on
 
CREEM MAGAZINE - JUNE 1981 ISSUE - BLONDIE / RUSH / RICK NELSON
 
Rush in 1981 - but once again Debbie's beauty captivates me here.
 
Creem Magazine Mar 1972 John Lennon, Paul McCartney
 
1972 - must be worth something - features movie Clockwork Orange.
 
Creem Magazine, May 1981. Elvis Costello, Clash, Squeeze, Boomtown Rats
 
Guitar Heroes.... ok... features Styx
next
 
The Doors. Creem Special Edition, Summer 1981. Patti Smith, Lester Bangs
 
A Doors special in 1981 - exciting?
 
Creem Rock N Roll Magazine (January, 1975)
 
A Tull expose' in 1975 - what did he do - take out his flute in public?

I love it cos of the CDs and colour spreads.

than they do on the inside
 
Prog5cover
 
but its great to see it on newsstands
 
 
and its all Prog
 
 
 
so who can complain
