As Time rolls out its 2010 list of the 100 Most Influential People, thoughtful, superlative-prone internet publication This Recording today proffers a meta-take on the “influential list” format by running down the “Finest Magazine Runs in Human History.”
Esquire‘s 1961-1973 series gets the No. 1 slot, thanks to its nostalgia-inspiring “style and substance.” This Recording laments the glossy’s current efforts to conflate lad-mag sexiness with journalistic seriousness.
Time from 1939 to 1945 gets second place for being the “most well-written compendium of critical thought ever to enter the public sphere at the time.”
