Rock & Folk is a prominent French popular music magazine founded in 1966, and published in the Paris suburb of Clichy. Its current editor in chief in Philippe Manœuvre. Though the magazine's title includes the word "folk," it is in fact oriented strongly toward rock and roll, especially championing groups like the Rolling Stones and the Stooges. After a lag during the 1980s, the magazine overhauled itself in the 1990s, broadening its scope to cover newer electronic music as well as hip hop.
