Welcome to YN, Mendozza!

In the future, please try to condense all of your writing to one post. To get rid of clutter, we all try to avoid posting multiple times consecutively on the same thread. If you think of something you want to add at the last minute, you have an eight-minute period to edit your posts. You can edit your post by clicking on the image of the folder with the eraser in the upper-right-hand corner of your post. Also very handy for fixing those pesky typos we all always seem to notice a minute too late!

Also, pay attention to when posts were posted...the post that started this thread by brookleigh89 was posted in May 2006. You can tell when a YNer has last logged on by checking ther profile, and in brooke's case, it's been since July 2006, so it's unlikely she'll read your response. If you're looking to get in touch with someone who hasn't been on the Boards in a while, your best bet is NOISEmail, though even that will be a bit of a shot in the dark after two years.

Hey brooke,
im nick and im just saying that im not french but i do use french terms quite often like "merci" and "tres bien".
so... im a young australian and no not much about france but the music and food is quite good.
Au revior from australia!

I reckon that french music is quite weird and as speaking from an australian point of view, DAFT PUNK RULLES!

Daft Punk is from Paris
and I love them dearly =]
while yeah, that's not rock it's still fantastic!

A band my brother found not to long ago called KYO you should check them out one of my favorite songs is La Chemin. Un vraiment bonne chanson. sorry if my french spelling is off I speak it fluently but I cant write that well. Let me know what you think.

Mary Slut is pretty good for French rock and roll. France also has a really big grunge scene still going on. I know one band is The Chocolate. Hope that helps

Absolutely! Noir Desir! The awesomest band in the whole world.

Look for them! In fact, I'll stop listening to Japanese music and listen to them now!

All I can give you is a disturbing song about buying fruit I was forced to listen to incessantly in French "class".

"je vais au marche, pour achete des fruits
des oranges, des pommes, des fraises, des whatever, over and over
j'aime fruits! j'aime fruits! jus, c'est sucre!
je fait les tartes avec pommes, c'est sucre!"

in various permutations with various fruits, to this gratingly annoying calypso beat.

Besides that, all I've heard is some stuff by Les Deserteurs, who seem to be some sort of anarcho-punk thingy.

i haven't heard any great bands...i'm in french we listend to a song called aicha...it's pretty cool, it's by chab khaled. they have an english rap verison, it's not rock or anything but it's alright
-LIZ

I wonder who that could be...

bonjour brookeleigh!! im not french but i love the french!! wo0t!!lol!!

The Swedes are better at music... Seriously, how many bands go there for training, and get help from the Swedes, and the bands that come from Sweden. Gotta love 'em.

Man, there's so much good French music. Particularly in the rap/hip-hop department.

You should try KYO, Manau, Melissa Auf Der Maur, Jonathan Cerrada, Emmanuel Moire, Marc Lavoine. If you want some really good hip-hop/pop/rap, look up DIAM's, MC Solar, Disiz La Peste, Willy Denzey, Humphrey, Amine, K-Maro, Nadiya, Linkup, and Matt Pokora.

If you want some, I got lots. IM me, I'll send it to you.

anytime you want to hear new/different music, purevolume is the place to go here's a link you can follow.
