Robert Charles Guccione Jr. the son of Bob Guccione, is best known for founding the music magazine Spin.

He launched the magazine in 1985 with a loan from his father, who attempted to wrest control of the magazine from him two years later. After this bid proved unsuccessful Guccione, Sr. left the project, forcing his son to find investors to pay off the loan. These events resulted in an estrangement of the pair which lasted for a decade.

Guccione Jr. sold the magazine to Vibe in 1997. Guccione currently owns and operates Discover Media, LLC which publishes the science magazine Discover.
