#I tried to pick personal faves that avoided like - the big french classics (like yes I do think Brel and Ferrat and Barbara are brilliants)

Hiii! May I ask for the top 5 French songs? Could be all-time favs or current ones. I haven't listened to anything French in ages and I would gladly reach for some.
Have a great day! :)
Hiii! Thank you so much for asking ♡ I spent the whole day thinking about it and I am (again) gonna cheat a little and do two tops I hope you'll forgive me 🙈
Top 5 all time favorite french songs :
"3eme sexe" by Indochine - specifically this live version, tho I also dearly like the original from 1985
"Virages" by Yves Duteil - i do NOT like the original instrumentation but this guitar + soft percussion version? ♡♡♡
"Je te rends ton amour" by Mylene Farmer - she's the artist I've seen the most live in my life (ノ*°▽°*)
"Le bal des Laze" by Michel Polnareff - but frankly, he has tons of gems through his whole discography
"Rimes feminines" by Juliette - this one's a utube because that live version? lives rent free in my brain (´꒳`)♡
Top 5 of recent(-ish) french songs :
"Le chrome et le coton - Lafayette remix" by Jerome Echenoz, Anna Jean - this specific remix beats both the original and all other remixes imo
"Le Monarque des Indes" by Pierre Lapointe - actually canadian but still in french! this one accompanies all my summers since 2020
"Ivre d'amour" by The Rodeo - it's a song about lycanthropic love, what else can I say?
"Charisma" by Daisy Mortem - there is always something a little ... sticky in their songs despite the strong electro aspect of it that works on me 100%
"Une danse de mauvais gout" by Mansfield TYA and Odezenne - Mansfield TYA are a long time fave of mine, and the way the voices go together?♡♡♡
#thank you very sincerely for asking#♡♡♡#but let me tell you picking only 5 was SO HARD lol#I tried to pick personal faves that avoided like - the big french classics (like yes I do think Brel and Ferrat and Barbara are brilliants)#(but so does everyone)#the first one is uh very Teen Ragondin-core lol but they are still my absolute faves to this day#if you like them I'd rec all the discography of those 5 artists (Y. Duteil too even if I know he's very has-been lol)#the second is more ... recent-ish songs I adore and also genuinely consider very good#like objectively if that makes sense?#anyway! I hope you'll find something to enjoy in there =D#the ragondin answers#music
