Whoa String, that comes from the latter part of the 20th century! You're letting me down!

 

OK, from my youthful misspent time:

 

Cry For The Nations - Michael Schencker Group

 

While My Guitar Gently Weeps - Jeff Healey

I'm a senior citizen who has just learned to appreciate rap and hip hop.

Oooh yes, Andrea Bocelli

 

Serge Gainsbourg

 

And for the (very) deep intelligentsia of Sfn French speaking members, the intranslatable life death and resurrection of a passion love

Ooh yes, Jane Birkin, you bad boy. I think this one was popular in the UK.

 

 

I'll say one thing for the French, they know how to make films about love, sex, intrigue and romance. Knocks everyone else out of the park. I love the existential/philosophical angles the characters often take.

It has been soooo long overdue. Today pulled CDs from under the dust and decided to have a 2+ hour loud session with a trio. Grand Funk.

About 30 years since last session. Interesting feel being transported to the past.

Right.

As a side note your post was not the original soundtrack of "I love you, Me neither". The lyrics take an immense part of French songs, surely the main reason why they cannot be appreciated by the foreign audience. A lot of satire and poesy painted in black in all songs from Gainsbourg.

 

Also a reminder: this not good looking guy married this beautiful girl from his talent.

Yes, I only appreciated the French films because they were subtitled; which I'm quite at home with. Will have to remember to get the translations for French songs. the films can be quite noir, which the french are pretty good at.

And now something completely different:

That's some mean, meaty, funky bass playing.

Maia Vidal - Our Place

 

 

Awesome track, so well delivered.

Super Track. Another band for me to check out. Cheers.

Both bands are well worth checking out, but the Pixies penned that song.

I'll look them up. I often think rock, as I like it, is dead but clearly not.

Florence & The Machine - How Big, How Bad, How Beautiful
