 '''''Rolling Stone''''' is a United States-based magazine devoted to music, politics, and popular culture that is published every two weeks. The publication was founded in San Francisco in 1967 by Jann Wenner (who is still editor and publisher) and music critic Ralph J. Gleason.  It quickly rose to prominence to become considered ''the'' critical journal for modern pop music and what would come to be known as pop culture.  Its popularity and relevance has ebbed and flowed over the decades, but ''Rolling Stone'' is still a giant in the periodical industry.

+Not bad at all fellas and galals. Thanks.
-The publication is particularly infamous within the [[Weezer]] fan community for its negative 1996 review of the Weezer album ''[[Pinkerton]]'' written by Rob O'Connor.  The review is notable when discussing the critical reception that ''Pinkerton'' endured at the time.
-''Pinkerton'' went on to be named the second worst album of 1996 by readers of the magazine. The review in hindsight has been seen as the definitive review of the album during its release. It shows the overall dismissive reception the album endured, and is cited frequently in discussions that criticize ''Rolling Stone''. Eventually, the magazine would see the error of its ways and revise its take on the album and give it five stars instead of the original three and place it in their hall of fame.
