I think there's a far larger subculture into sixties music on the European continent than there is in the U.S. and probably U.K., too.

because we suck at rock so we have to keep busy with something else...

I think the French are good in general at really evoking moments, especially in music. Air, Sebastien Tellier, Daft Punk etc etc.

"really evoking moments" ?

I mean like specific times and places. For example - an outdoor scene shot on a certain film-stock in 1975. I think certain French artists are really good at describing what that sounds like. Y'know, "evocative" etc.
