February 13th 2006 was a dark day in the history of British pop music as the mighty Smash Hits was published for the final time. During its 28 year history - particularly during its golden age of 1982-1988 - the magazine transformed the way that pop music was written about in this country. Gone were the stuffy, earnest questions of NME and Melody Maker that treated pop stars as visionary prophets, replaced with questions about what fruit they thought Friday was.

Start be looking at the Wikipedia entry and reading these articles from the Guardian that co-incided with the magazine's valedictory issue!
