French Music

Hi

I am currently trying to learn French and want some good French Music to listen too but I don't know any.

My English taste is 'Indie' and 'Rock' and my favourite artist is 'Bruce Springsteen' so if any of you guys can assist me by offering suggestions I would appreciate it.

Many Thanks

Edith Piaf

Truly a great artist, I have listened a lot to her but I want somethging more modern.

Thanks for your support.

Okay, try wikipedia under French Rock, pick out some bands on the list and check them out on youtube. Or, go to Pandora and type in French Rock, then listen to their selections. That may help

Here's Pandora:

Never thought of that, thanks a lot.

I just tried Pandora but it's for US only, when I get the time I will try youtube, but I will wait for a few more 'pointers' first.

Sorry about Pandora. Good luck

law i france says (??) 75% of radio must be french so you will learn when you go therre amd listen radio !!

TRY CHOPIN= LISTENING TO CLASSICAL MUSIC IS A LEARNING ADVENTURE

thanks for your help, nice 'mussette' music, but I think Chopin is Polish!!

i've edited the chanson above because my link was wrong... and furnace-man the song text is below the video if you want to test you french..
