Rock music in Bosnia and Herzegovina

Rock music in Bosnia and Herzegovina mostly developed during the time when the country was part of socialist Yugoslavia. The city of Sarajevo was, prior to the war, a center for Yugoslav rock music. Bands from this period included Plavi Orkestar, Bijelo Dugme, Indexi, Zabranjeno Pušenje, and Crvena Jabuka. Most of the bands in Sarajevo at the time were influenced by heavy metal pioneers such as Led Zeppelin, Queen, and Deep Purple.
