What was the first music magazine?

Please help me identify this music magazine.

  • Please help me identify this music magazine. I used to have a subscription to a music magazine that delivered a compilation CD with every issue. The genre was modern/alternative rock, and this would have been in the first half of the 1990s. The only other thing I remember is that the name started with an "R", but I could definitely be wrong about that. This has been driving me nuts; does anyone remember the name of this magazine?

  • Answer:

    In the 1990s, my room was packed full of music magazines. I bought Ray Gun once in a while, but don't recall ever getting a cd with that one. After I read your question, I was trying to remember a series of alternative compilations and magazines I used to have loads of.. and I finally remembered it was called http://www.01issue.pixelyn.com/mags/huh.html, which Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HuH was a popular music mag in the 90s. It also says that it was published by the same company as http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ray_Gun_(magazine).

Assuming you're definitely wrong about that, it sounds similiar to http://www.magnetmagazine.com/.

Could it be http://www.cmj.com/? I bought it regularly in the 90s.

ooooh, thanks tristero. Wikipedia's Magnet entry has this: Music magazines with a similar focus in the 1990s era included Option, Raygun, and Alternative Press. I am almost positive the magazine I am thinking of is Raygun; thanks to all for for the suggestions!

Another possibility (in case it wasn't Raygun) might be http://www.lollipop.com/index2.php3 which is no longer in print. Its still regularly published online though. Print editions came with a cd.

I used to buy Raygun on the newstand. Beautiful magazine with great graphic design - I sure don't remember a CD with every issue. Must have been blinded by the typography.

Sorry to everyone for the schizophrenic responses; huH is definitely, absolutely the magazine! I think I also received Raygun at the time and was getting my memories confused; again, thanks to all for the useful answers.
