Each of SPIN Magazine’s glorious covers of the 90s are a piece of space fabric in the timeline of rock’n'roll history. The first issue of SPIN arrived in May, 1985, with this statement of purpose from founder Bob Guccione Jr: “Spin is a fresh, intelligent alternative to a mostly tired, complacent music press.
