Rock was a Yugoslav music magazine, published from 1982 to 1990.
Rock first appeared in April 1982 as Rock 82. [1] Initially, Rock 82 was a supplement of NIP Politika's comic magazine Strip 82; [1] the back cover of Strip 82 being the front cover of Rock 82, printed in an unusual 11x30cm magazine format. Rock 82's first editor-in-chief [1] as well as its initiator was rock critic Peca Popović . [2] In an interview for the Rockovnik documentary series, Popović recalled:
I believed that the generation that had already been introduced to MTV, [...] the generation of young, curious people that had already witnessed the video killing the radio star, deserves a bit of a different magazine. A publication that's a bit more visual, a magazine with a different sensibility featuring a different generation of authors just as Džuboks in the 1970s had a great generation of talented and brave writers. I believed that there were more people who, unfortunately, weren't being published. It turned out they were good too. [2]
From January 1983, Rock began being published as an independent periodical, printed in tabloid newspaper format. Then, in March 1985, it started getting printed in magazine format. [1] In 1985, 7-inch single with the charity song "Za milion godina", the Yugoslav contribution to Live Aid, was released with the magazine. [3]
Popović was succeeded by Vladislav Bajac, who in turn got succeeded by Dragan Todorović. [1] From October 1988, the magazine was edited by Saša Gajević, and published under the name Pop Rock. [1] The last, 161st issue, was released on December 13, 1990. [1]
