UNCUT – Dadrock and films mag – celebrates its tenth birthday

UNCUT, the Dadrock and films monthly, is celebrating its tenth birthday with a special issue which has just hit the news-stands.

The mag’s coverage is mostly outside the scope of Rock for Grown-Ups, but it occasionally crosses over with a judicious cover feature: I’ve enjoyed the 9 (of 123) issues I’ve bought over the years.

Here’s the ranked list of musicians who’ve stared out from the news-stands on the front cover of a decade’s worth of UNCUTs:

1. Beatles - 11 covers
2. Dylan – 7 covers
3. Stones – 6
4. Pink Floyd – 5
5= Smiths/Mozz; Who; Led Zep; Clash; Bruce; Bowie; REM – 4 covers

Two thirds of the 123 covers feature 1960s/1970s rockers.
