French Music

[Kikuchi]

I somewhat like what he did 10/20 years ago... But gawd, he's too old now, he needs to retire

On topic, I don't listen to music that much so the first thing that'd come to my mind would be Matmatah since, well, I was born and raised in Brest

Here's a classic, Lambé an Dro :

And L'Apologie at the Vieilles Charrues :
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3BQZZ...eature=related

*waves Bretagne's flag with all his might*

[Kusa-San]

Well it's true that Johnny is not really young anymore But he has still a great voice and he is one of the greatest french artist !

And the first Matmatah song was already posted by Miss Narona, but not the second one so thanks

[cajety]

being part french, french music has always interested me especially in how it sounds. compared to english. but i like most of the newer stuff that everyone might not like :P MC Solaar has to be one of my favorites though.

...my childhood! *o* I think I'll spend the rest of the evening listening to old french songs now, thanks~!

[Jill Valentine]

Alizee all her song's are nice

[Kusa-San]

New band that I discover today : L'homme parle. Great songs with concerned Lyric :

Militants du quotidien
La crise and the video : http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x8y...la-crise_music

[User91411]

A friend tried to get me into Alizee since she danced like the Night Elf from WoW. Didn't like her though, and I can never really get into music with lyrics I can't understand. Takes away from the compositions.

[Yot-chan]

Someone already mentioned France Gall, but I like her '60s stuff MUCH better than her '70s or '80s music:

Laisse tomber les filles
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rMhO0Kfl5Ck

Les sucettes
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kFQpKKxbx6E
(This one's about a girl who loves sucking on lollipops, especially big ones. Young France Gall didn't get the double entendre, and horrified when she learned what the song was REALLY about.)

Jazz à gogo

[Sheba]

A little reup


I saw this while watching our national geek channel:

Tout a un sens - by Radiopolitan, an independant group that deserves our support.

[Albafica]

Oh... I don't really like French music . Well, there is the one who did Gankutsuou OST! Not bad. There is Daft Punk too (duo with Kanye West ^^)...

Haha Goldman Tournent les violons : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SuzgMmvMmIA

Alizée seems to be famous in other countries (or not )... Here, it's finish but she's pretty .

Well, I'm not a fan of French music

[chibi_nekoi]

I really love french music. However most of the songs I've heard are Celine Dion's
and some of Dalida and Francois Feldman

I also like Romeo and Juliette's song, such as Les rois du monde ou Aimer

This is also one of my favorite french song. Too bad it isn't as popular as the english version :

Since I'm not french (I only study it), my knowledge about french music is nothing compared to you guys

[Albafica]

Well these songs are a bit old ha !

Maxime le forestier: San francisco

Today, young people listen this (I think... haha)!

Christophe Maé Belle demoiselle:

PS: Ah and Kyo did an ending of anime (Strait Jacket):

An other song from Kyo: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3nyDXVQT7zI

I knew someone would say that

Well, I also listen to some of Priscilla's songs, if you consider it not old

And while I'm at it, here is some advertissement for my country :

Composed by Marc Lavoine, sung by Pham Quynh Anh

[Albafica]

OMG Priscilla!!! I know her when she was 14 year old. So bad!!
Well now she plays a role in a serie TV and she's very pretty .

I don't know who is this singer in your song! I like the music but not the voice lol .
