Mostly based on who was on the cover, or how many posters I could cut out and tape to my walls. I chose from Bass Player, Guitar Player, 16 Magazine, Billboard, Interview....the list goes on. While moving recently I found a couple of old magazines and saw this article that I obviously cut out and saved for the fact I was a big Pink Floyd fan.
