Yeah for a while already. I was listening to Lio's Banana Split the other day and thinking how much it sounded like le Mambo du Decalco...

yeah, richie had pretty good electro-bebete-pop hits. very underated in france. which is weird since lio is pretty respected nowadays in "the scene" (mostly thanks to jacno).
anyway, about the list : am i wrong or is johnny not in it (ok he's belgian but he's the quintessential french rocker... together with eddy mitchel and dick rivers, so...).

Jacques Dutronc is also missing

hum. no, he was mentioned already, dude.
also, benny b needs to be there...

Marie et les Garçons are essential. I'd recommend "Attitudes" and "Re-Bop"

i am stunned that no one has mentioned dominique a. or francoiz breut or katerine or programme... the lithium label in general, as it once was. what about yann tiersen or a lot of the folks associated with ici d'ailleurs, such as dominique pettitgand?

almost all of dominique's cds are stunning, most particularly "la fossette" from 1993 and the more recent "auguri". his live shows are not to be missed either, especially when he performs solo as documented on his live dvd.

speaking of jacno, I don't think I've seen elie&jacno here. so many good songs from them...

baaderonix has mentioned them already, dude.

There's a new Elie Medeiros album out that supposed to be pretty good.
