Ok, slightly off-topic thread...but never the less France related. What Frenchy music does everyone (anyone?) listen too? My personal faves: Serge Gainsbourg, Air, MC Solaar, Daft Punk, Indochine, Les Nubianes, and the singer from Ivy (who is amazingly hot) Dominique Durand. Not on the list: Johnny Halliday, the kid who sang that dumb dance song "Dur d'etre bebe"
Re: La Musique TRUST Zazie (so what ?) Gerald de Palmas (call me a big sissy, don't care) ... but TRUST first and foremost .. greatest french band EVA. iougs- 70s 80s soccer forum
Re: La Musique Good choices, maybe you might try - M - (not a personal fave but I think it's quality French pop) ; Le Peuple De l'Herbe also sounds interesting. Alexis HK has good lyrics from what I've heard. God bless you. Jordy, guess what ? He's currently starring in a Real TV program and well, the guy has apparently learnt to shag since..."Dur dur de débander"...Hem... OK, I repost this, I'll phone them about having a little commission for that. www.sing-sing.org
Re: La Musique SISSY !!! Why De Palmas ? Why not Calogero, Florent Pagny, Obispo and Roch Voisine since you're going there !!!
Re: La Musique Well Obispo maybe ... I don't know Calogero that well. Did he do that Zidane song or something ? Florent Pagny and Roch Voisine, don't like them. iougs-
Re: La Musique +1 for Indochine ... L'aventurier, class ! ... the comeback album was pretty good too (what's the name of the album can't remember) especially the first half. iougs-
Re: La Musique Anything by Dutronc is tops also. "Guerre et Pets" classic. even the 60s $hit is good. Early Renaud is also the shiznit. iougs-
Re: La Musique charlelie couture. gainsbourg of course. my wife on a nostalgia kick came home with a polnareff cd last week.
Re: La Musique Gainsbarre's "love on the beat" ... always fun to listen to at a dinner party. Charlelie Couture +1 Alain Bashung +1 (that "pizza" cd is pure gold) iougs-
Re: La Musique GOLD ... La bande a Emile ! 2 good songs: Capitaine Abandonne http://www.flash80.com/GOLD-Capitaine_abandonne.html plus pres des etoiles http://www.flash80.com/GOLD-Plus_pres_des_etoiles.html those are ogg-vorbis .. so you'll need proper codecs. the rest, not so good imo but those 2 are awesome for 80s songs that is. iougs- 70s 80s soccer forum
Re: La Musique Nope, it was Obispo who did "Zinedine." No time now, but will post my French music comments later...
Re: La Musique Don't listen to much music, nowadays, 'cept for the classics...I have bunch of Gainsbourg, Leo Ferre, etc on this computer And here's an oldie- "hear-candy" because: _primo, I'm a movie-buff (this is from "Les choses de la vie", 1970) _ segundo,when I was a kid, she was still hot http://francoise.dorleac.free.fr/romychansondhelenecomplete.html that's Romy Schneider, if you didn't know (with Michel Piccoli in this song)
Re: La Musique one and two for Renaud .. too bad he didn't control his drinking. iougs- 70s 80s soccer forum
Re: La Musique Okay, this has been bugging me for some time. Maybe somebody here can answer this. Who sang the song, back in the 80s (I think), that went "J'aime regarder les filles qui marchent sur la plage"?
Re: La Musique don't think so ... pretty sure it's an original song ... but if you say it is, it must be. iougs-
