Bonds provide the investor with a steady and predetermined stream of cash inflows. This is not true for stocks, since even dividend rates for stocks change very frequently. Also, the assessment of risk for bonds is easier than for stocks due to the availability of grades (e.g., AAA) by rating agencies such as Moody and S&P. Thus, bonds allow for easier financial planning and help in risk management of a diversified portfolio.
Actually, there's such a thing as a zero-coupon bond. They pay all their interest at the date of maturity, which is usually far in the future--10 years or more.
I like buying municipal bonds issued in my state--they're completely free of state taxes.

Why buys bonds and not stocks?
Bonds and stocks serve different purposes to the investor, and ideally you should buy both. Advantage of investment-grade bonds: the issuer is committed to paying you a stated amount of money on a stated date. The disadvantage is your return is limited to the agreed-on amount. Advantage of stocks: potentially unlimited return on your investment. The disadvantage is there are no guaranteed returns with stocks; you could potentially lose everything you invested in them. Speculative-grade bonds, or "junk bonds," have a risk/reward system more like stocks than investment-grade bonds.
