Blender is an American magazine that bills itself as "the ultimate guide to music and more." It is also known for sometimes steamy pictorials of female celebrities.

It compiles many lists of albums, artists, and songs, including both "best of" lists and "worst of" lists. In each issue, there is a review of an artist's entire discography, with each album being given at least one paragraph.

Blender teamed up with VH1 to create the "50 Most Awesomely Bad Songs", at which, "We Built This City" by Starship was at number one.

Blender is published by Dennis Publishing. The magazine began in 1994 as the first digital CD-ROM magazine by Jason Pearson, David Cherry & Regina Joseph, acquired by Felix Dennis/Dennis Publishing, UK it published 15 digital CD issues, and launched on the web in 1997. It started publishing a print edition again in 1999 in its current form. Blender CD-ROM showcased the earliest digital editorial formats, as well as the first forms of digital advertising. The first digital advertisers included: Calvin Klein, Apple Computer, Toyota and Nike.

The magazine published a list naming the "40 Worst Lyricists in Rock" in its November, 2007 issue which placed Sting at number one and Rush drummer Neil Peart number two.
