Following the success of Q magazine, publishers Emap were looking for a title which would cater for the burgeoning interest in classic rock music. Mojo was first published in October 1994 and in keeping with its aesthetic had Bob Dylan and John Lennon as its first cover stars. Noted for its in-depth coverage of both popular and cult acts it acted as the inspiration for Blender magazine and Uncut. Many noted music critics have written for it including Charles Shaar Murray, Greil Marcus, Simon Reynolds and Jon Savage.
