Indexi were one of the earliest and most enduring bands that enjoyed popularity across generations of the followers of rock music in former Yugoslavia. The band was founded in 1962 in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina. Since all the members were university students, they had easily chosen the name for the band Indexi (plural of index, a students blue book for writing exams and attendance). In the beginning they played mostly instrumental covers of popular hits, but around 1967 started composing their own songs.
