Favorite French musical artist of all time

[arcanaman]

Lets see if I can hit right on the dot this choose your favorite french artist or music group from below I haven't heard of all so don't be afraid to tell me about ones you think I should check out

 

[Relique Hunter]

None of the above. I have to go with Berlioz for his piece Roméo et Juliette.

This has to be the most entrancing piece of french music I've had the pleasure of hearing.

Can't I get a little love for Guillame Dufay and his contemporaries?

Are any of those people from Quebec or other countries in la Francophonie, or are they all from France?

Don't care for Celine Dion much that why shes no on there and forgot to

put Annie Villeneuve on there those are the only ones I know from Quebec

so most of the others are from france

 

[Aexalon]

Jean-Michel André Jarre.

Well, I would not list Celine Dion as my favourite either, hehehe...

Probably I am not really qualified to give an opinion on a " favourite " . I do not listen to enough Quebec music. The only songs I am really exposed to are the ones I am exposed to on the yearly Juno Awards Album (read: Canadian Music Awards). That, and I have never spoken French well enough to understand the music. So, it would rather be like someone who does not speak French, German or Italian trying to rate opera. But, I do rather like the sound of Lynda Lemay's J'Vien Bien T'Aimer.
