Na stranu sta se meni svidja ali Bijelo dugme po popularnosti.
Po kvalitetu mozda Azra i EKV.

staci azru u istu rečenicu s ekv...si ti ikad slušao onog jazavca stulica? netalentiranog i pretencioznog "pjesnika"

The biggest Serbian band is Disciplina kičme. Maybe Partibrejkers, or Obojeni program.

Best maybe. Biggest hardly.

Sarlo Akrobata, KUD Idijoti, Laibach...

For Serbia, i think SMAK are massively underrated, and EKV are massively overrated. Impact of Riblja Čorba cannot be overlooked. I'd also add Električni Orgazam to the list. But if we are looking at the "biggest", riblja čorba by far

Reminded me of this, I have question for Greeks here, what is this song called in Greece?
https://youtu.be/XTVWHn2RGqA?si=hnRQzVC-3l2PboPs
I heard it in Thessaloniki, performed by some youths on guitars with lyrics in greek, wonder who recorded it there and when?

Riblja Corba are not even close to others.

Fun fact: their front singer Bora was first Yugoslavian trans lesbian celebrity, later made a huge career performing under the stage name “Pretty Brena” (Lepa Brena).

At his age he was still performing fine on stage. Much better than Ian Gillan 20 years ago.
