[4][2] With Tor, he performed on the 1975 edition of BOOM Festival held in Zagreb, where he was spotted by manager Vladimir Mihaljek and suggested to guitarists Husein Hasanefendić and Jurica Pađen, who were aspiring to form a new band after they left Grupa 220.

[4] Immediately attracting the attention of the public with their energetic live performances and boogie rock sound, the band gained popularity with their early studio albums, Dođite na show!

[4] After a brief attempt to break into foreign market with an English language album released under the name Steam Roller, the band joined in on the Yugoslav new wave scene with the 1980 album Vruće igre (Hot Games), which launched them to the top of the Yugoslav rock scene.

[6] In 2005, the group announced their disbandment, only to reunite in 2009, continuing to sell out large venues in former Yugoslav region.

[7] The album also featured songs authored by Oleg Colnago and another former Parni Valjak member, keyboardist Berislav Blažević.

[7] The album was released with a multimedia bonus CD, featuring music videos and the songs Rahimovski had recorded with other artists: Karolina Gočeva, Zoran Predin, Leilani Marchall, Šank Rock, Zagrebački Solisti, and others.

[9] In 2010, he recorded the song "Kasno je za sve" ("It's Late for Everything") for Toše Proeski tribute album Još uvek sanjam da smo zajedno (I'm Still Dreaming We're Together).

[13] In 2010, he made a guest appearance on Garo & Tavitjan Brothers album Makedonsko srce kuca u 7/8 (Macedonian Heart Beats in the 7/8 Rhythm), recording the vocals for the cover of the traditional song "Snošti sakav da ti dojdam" ("Last Night I Wanted to Come to You").

[6] On the day of his burial at 3:00PM, over 50 radio stations in former Yugoslav republics broadcast the band's last song recorded with Rahimovski, "Ponovo" ("Again").
