Allan Jones (born 1951 or 1952) is a British music journalist and editor. Following graduation, Jones took a job in the stock room of Hatchards on Piccadilly. While there he applied for a writing opening at the rock weekly Melody Maker with a letter that concluded, "Melody Maker needs a bullet up its arse. I’m the gun – pull the trigger". He joined the staff in 1974, and became editor ten years later. After he wrote a scathing review of Pink Floyd's The Wall show at Earls Court Exhibition Centre, he was described on stage by Roger Waters as a "stupid shit". During Jones' tenure, Melody Maker provided early publicity for bands ranging from The Stone Roses to Pearl Jam. One of his most significant early decisions was to resist the publisher's instruction to put Kajagoogoo on the cover, choosing instead The Smiths.
