Generacija 5

Generacija 5 are a Serbian and former Yugoslav hard rock band.Generacija 5 was officially formed on July 1, 1977 by keyboardist Dragoljub Iliæ, drummer Boban Ðorðeviæ, vocalist Jovan Rašiæ, guitarist Dragan Jovanoviæ and bass guitarist Dušan Petroviæ. They released their first single with songs "Novi život" and "Izgubljeni san" in May 1978. In June Petroviæ left the band due to his army obligations, and was temporarily replaced by Miloš "Cajger" Stojisavljeviæ. In 1979 they released their second single with songs "Svemu doðe kraj" and "Noæni mir". They performed at music festival in Opatija and were awarded for the best use of folk music elements. In October Rašiæ left the band, and was replaced by former Zebra member Goran Miloševiæ (brother of female rock singer Slaðana Miloševiæ) and the band moved to more pop-oriented sound. In November they released their third single with "Umoran od svega" and their cult ballad "Ti samo budi dovoljno daleko". At the time their music was used in Zoran Èaliæ's movie Došlo doba da se ljubav proba.

The band exeprimented with jazz rock and soon gained a loyal fan-base. The critics, however, criticized the band for their weak lyrics and the fact that some of their most famous songs were written by the authors outside the band (most notably Bora Ðorðeviæ and Kornelije Kovaè). Generacija 5 released their debut self-titled album Generacija 5 in 1980. Their second album Dubler ("Stuntman"), produced by Peter Taggart was released in 1982, and in June the same year Genarcija 5 disbanded. Iliæ became a RTB editor. During the 1980s he worked with Željko Bebek, Slaðana Miloševiæ and others, and in 1985 he wrote the song "Za Milion Godina" recorded by YU Rock Misija. Ðorðeviæ moved to USA, Jovanoviæ became a studio musician and Miloševiæ joined Mama Co Co.
