What's the point in asking for 'French music'? That... doesn't make any sense.

Michel Polnareff is arguably the best of the French orchestral pop crew (well, I'd argue it). "Polnareff's" is my favourite album of his, I think its easy enough to source.

Les Rita Mitsouko made some crazy beautiful pop in the 80s (more recent stuff not so beautiful); this is somehow the most-played song ever on French radio:

He means musical performances that are made by human beings and/or animals that are from the European country that is called France.

Poulenc. 1950s choral music. He's french. Music is latin, but not in ricky martin sense.

Well, imagine a French guy on a French internet forum asking for Irish music, and being told to check out Count John McCormack, My Bloody Valentine, the music from Riverdance, B*Witched, Primordial, Dropkick Murphys and Decal.

Jean-Claude Vannier - Les Enfants Assassin Des Mouches. One of my all-time faves that.

Great blog for Mp3s by cooing, breathy French chicks.

I'm surprised no-one mentioned Barbara earlier in the thread. Pal of Jacques Brel, Holocaust survivor, quite a life. Stage-name of Monique Serf, I think.
Anyhoo her second eponymous album on the Philips label is the one to get. Released in 1962 I think. Like a sick fck I transferred my vinyl copy to cd.

If anyone wats a compilation of obscure Gallic curios I'll bang out oh...three copies to the first three PMs.

He was telling me that the problem in Paris is that it's very rigid, there's little crossover, and musicians are not valued beyond playing in covers bands etc. I noticed as well that a good deal of interesting music in France is made by immigrants, or people whose parents were immigrants, so like some Berber music and stuff like that is pretty good - more down south than Paris I guess.
