Pop & Rock (Greek : Ποπ & Ροκ; stylized as Ποπ+Ροκ) was a Greek magazine, founded in 1978 by Giannis Petridis, Kostas Zougris and Vassos Tsimidopoulos. After its first issue, it became a popular music magazine in Greece.
Petridis and Zougris had been thinking about publishing a magazine for a while, but did not have the money to do so. By coincidence, publisher Aris Gritzalis met with Petridis and asked him about publishing a music magazine. Petridis and Zougris were then joined by Tsimidopoulos, who was a close friend of Petridis, and who also wrote in the first issues. The name came about when Tsimidopoulos suggested modelling it from the name of the French magazine Rock & Folk , with Zougris coming up with Pop & Rock. [1]
Its headquarters were in Kallithea and the first issue was in March 1978 and featured Jimi Hendrix on the front cover. [2] The magazine covered a wide variety of genres and topics and, from 1980, it published a monthly sales chart. [3] After its formation in the late 1980s, the charts published in the magazine were commissioned by IFPI Greece. [4]
Petridis was also director until 1998, when he resigned. A few years later, the magazine was bought by Μουσικοεκδοτική ('Music Publishing'), who also published Popcorn and Metal Hammer . The magazine changed publisher many times, but due to fewer and fewer sales and financial difficulties, the magazine closed in 2012. [2]
New Musical Express (NME) is a British music, film, gaming, and culture website and brand.

The music of Greece is as diverse and celebrated as its history. Greek music separates into two parts: Greek traditional music and Byzantine music. These compositions have existed for millennia: they originated in the Byzantine period and Greek antiquity; there is a continuous development which appears in the language, the rhythm, the structure and the melody. Music is a significant aspect of Hellenic culture, both within Greece and in the diaspora.
