French music
 
I think France is a really cool country, and recently I've been listening to some French pop songs which my pen pal recommended to me. I haven't heard very many songs yet, but the ones I've listened to so far seemed really good. My favorite ones are these:

Fleur de saison by Emilie Simon
Nos rendez-vous by Natasha St Pier
L'amour est un soleil by Helene Segara
Appelle mon numero by Mylene Farmer

Does anybody else like French music? If so, what are your favorite French songs? Also, do you like the ones I posted?

We listened to a few songs as part of listening exercises in French class. :3 I think one was called 'Ne Retion Pas Tes Larmes', or something like that. o_O; It was ages ago, but I did like it. I've also listened to French rap... Which is slightly odd, in my opinion. XD

I've heard Victory by Soprano. That's the only french song I've heard.

Only French stuff I've ever liked is by Stereolab.

le reves francias or whatever it was by merlin
le sol mundo whatevr it was(i'm alone in this world) by someone...

I think it bears repeating. French rap really is weird. Case in point.

I don't really listen to much French music, but I like me an occasional song by old timey favorite Édith Piaf.

M83 and Air are among two of my favorite bands, both French. :P Probably have others I simply can't think of atm.

Oooh, forgot Telepopmusik too. Awesome sounds.

The only french music I like is Alizée. She's awesome.

French House and French Electro is awesome to listen to. Personally couldn't dance to it, but love to listen to it at home and what not.
Justice, Busy P, etc...

I feel like Yann Tiersen is such a common answer, but he's brilliant. And mildly attractive.

i had to work on the song "les choses" by j.goldman recently in french class, the clip is pretty weird, as it contains evil flying toasters from outer space

but for some reason, i cant access the video without using a proxy..
ah, i forgot that music videos are not availiable on outube for germany because of some ****in law or company, forgot the details

I've been meaning to check out more of his work. Any favorite material in general from him? :P

Hard decision, he's done so much. My number one favorite composition is probably Le Matin from the album Les Retrouvailles. I suggest you obtain the Amelie soundtrack, which is an obvious choice, but a great start. Good Bye Lenin! is wonderful, too.
