I love reading Rolling Stone. It's an excellent guide to new music.
If Rolling Stone hated it, it's probably a great album!

Tape Op, free recording magazine that is not just a bunch of press releases from gear manufacturers.
Vegetarian Times, Consumer Reports, VegNews. Once in a while if I'm sitting around a motel being bored, I'll get a Mac magazine.

Kerrang has been poor for well over a decade. Metal Hammer is still an OK read occasionally. Terroriser and Classic Rock I can still read cover to cover, month after month.
Other mags I still read are Focus, New Scientist, Fortean Times and my daughters Dr Who comics.
The Economist is my favorite by far. Really comprehensive international news, great writing, intelligent analysis, and they are always careful to distinguish reporting from editorial opinion.
Outside is pretty good.

I pick up woodworking and handyman type mags from time to time... but most everything else I read on the interwebz now.
All of my magazines are free with memberships:
Bicycling, Outdoors, Alert Diver, American Motorcyclist and HOG Magazine (Harley Owner's Group)

Pretty much all mags are too laden with adverts anymore. It annoys me to the point that I don't subscribe to, or buy, any. I do my reading online, with FF, Adblock, and NoScript, thankyouverymuch.
The Surfers Journal.
It's a quarterly magazine about different surf locations, the people and culture around these locations, and different sub cultures within the surfing world. It's much more intellectual than than Surfer and Surfing which is just a rag that follows the pros and the ASP world tour circuit.
Great writing and quality photography.
The New Yorker
It's a weekly magazine and it has some of the best writers in the nation contributing. It's thick, very little photography, with a big focus on writing. Even with the immediacy of the Internet, it's always current and topical. Many think it's a liberal slant, politically, but they do excellent reporting on people on the right as well. I remember an excellent article centered around an interview with Ted Nugent. It's not just politics but arts, culture, environment, and science as well. Great mag. It takes some getting used to because there's so much reading, but if you're a reader like myself you grow to love it.
