Oh pooh my YouTube feed is now filling up with “chansons françaises mĂ©diocres” and a Serge Gainsbourg overdose. Funny love a bit of Serge.

Time for bed.

Maybe these?

I know, I was just trying to get some decent music into this thread. Because, well, you know
French rock. :slight_smile:

22

Yes, please
 I’m always interested discovering new music. My knowledge of (good) songs sung in French more or less ends and begins with Francis Cabrel :slightly_smiling_face:

Welcome to the community. Good.to hear that your payment problem will be solved soon.

because there arent many to discover XD
but if you want names i can give some old or more modern

please no johnny halliday 
 lets forget him ( if you like that style you’d better listen to some Eddie mitchell )
In the oldies the best would be telephone , many french loves indochine ( not me )
Cabrel is well known but one of the most favorite guitar player in the 80 s was Jean Jacques Goldman i’d say
there is Paul personne too real good guitar player

so many more like Bachung , les rita mitsuko , Les innocents etc etc
In the modern bands I’d say we have : Shaka ponk , pony pony run run , skip the use

Made me chuckle Deborah but some of his later Rock stuff is pretty good, to be honest. But heck I am an old Brit living in Manche !

But on a serious note, I am still interested in any French rock bands (any bands really) singing in French (French French not the Canadian derivatives) and any suggestion are welcome. Even after a decade my “oreilles françaises” are pretty woeful and anything to help me “hear” better would help. So please my euro chums, send me some good Classic, Hard early Metal chanteurs français and I’ll be in your debt for ever !

One of my favourites still is Noir Désir (check out the song homme pressé or Le vent nous porterra) or completely different and not French but from Belgium (no not Jacques Bres): Stromae.

Great for indoctrinating both daughter and grand daughter when on a Brittany run out to the coast.

Got the title of the first one straight off things are imp roving ! But a bit too country for this old rocker. Got an age restricted video on the 2nd ! Blimey I’ll be 68 end of March, how’s that work. The link to YT worked though apart from its mainly a classic Franglais mongrel :rofl: .

Good idea @brianlarsen :slightly_smiling_face: Noir Desire is a great discovery for me, sounds just like my cup of tea. So far I only knew one of their songs that Element of Crime had covered
