Top 40 magazine covers of the last 40 years
I found a piece by Magazine.com on the top 40 magazine covers since 1965 quite interesting. What sucks is that at least in the web version only the top 5 covers have graphical representation accompanying their text-based mention. So if you weren't there, you're either none the wiser or you've got quite a night of Googling ahead of you.
I found even more compelling the fact that the most recent cover appearing was 2004's Vogue with Nicole Kidman (the Dixie Chicks' nude political statement on Entertainment Weekly was the sole entry from 2003). Maybe such a trend is indicative of people moving away from print?
At any rate and before I start getting political myself, it's a good collection and makes for better coffee table fodder than many of the publications referenced within.
