France does
the world's best wine, cheese, and trains.
The world music market
is dominated by the USA. This makes Hooliator sad because
France has a lively and original music scene.
I
spend at least two hours per week in OCD on the Rue
St. Antoine listening to French CDs.
Of course it could be said that there are loads of
crap coming out of the French music scene, and it would
not be untrue. But that can be said about ANY music
scene! Hooliator
(once again) has
spared you the pain of false discovery by digging
through miles of dirt to find the vein of gold
and bring
it to you.
Here you will find a (nearly) complete
list of French CDs owned by Hooliator along with my
thoughts
on said CDs. Among his collection Hooliator has detected
several genres of French music: Pop, Alternative,
Ballads (think Sinatra),
and Difficult to Classify (D2C)
Of these: D2C is
the most exciting genre for its variety and originality.
Many of my favorite artists fall into
this category.
If you
want to learn about French music then you may also
want to own lots of French CDs just like I do. For
that you
can go to
Fnac,
OCD, or loads of little music boutiques throughout
France. You can also click on one of the links and
download it from iTunes or you you can
click on one of the other links and get a disc. CD
Universe is generally
cheaper,
but Amazon has a larger selection.
Rating system:
$ to $$$$$.
More Money =
More Love.
