History
Rock was first published in April 1982, under the name Rock 82. Initially, Rock 82 was as a supplement of NIP Politika's comic magazine Strip 82, the back cover of Strip 82 being the front cover of Rock 82. The magazine was published in an unusual format of 11x30cm. The first editor-in-chief of Rock 82 and the initiator of the magazine publishing was critic Peca Popović. In an interview for the documentary series Rockovnik Popović stated:
From January 1983, Rock began being published as an independent periodical released as newspaper in tabloid format, and then in March 1985, it started releasing in magazine format. In 1985, 7" single with the charity song "Za milion godina", the Yugoslav contribution to Live Aid, was released with the magazine.
Popović was succeeded by Vladislav Bajac, who was succeeded by Dragan Todorović. Since October 1988, the magazine was edited by Saša Gajević, and was published under the name Pop Rock. The last, 161st issue, was released on December 13, 1990.
