I give Rolling Stone, (and Billboard for that matter) zero credibility. Successful marketing sells albums, not quality of music. It's why a band like Pearl Jam will sellout every single concert they put on world wide, but have no Billboard impact whatsoever, whereas some rap act will have great Billboard numbers but terrible touring numbers. Rolling Stone is just a mouth piece for the corporate music machine.
