Several have chimed in with Gerard on this. Thanks much, I
appreciate the suggestion and will keep these on my "gotta check out
list". I had not heard of any of them, which I'm sure I will need to
correct. I did check on All Music Guide and they had little info on
Polanareff. The other two's descriptions sound like they are less in
the "soft pop" arena. Sincere question to any who recommended these
over Gainsbourg and company.... Is this in part per frustration that
these soft pop "types" being the names that frequently come up
related to French music? I'm just curious, to distinguish if you
think they are better, or just different and less known) then the
previous mentioned group of Gainsbourg, and so on (thanks). Again, I
appreciate the tips and anything more you can shed on "where to start
with any of these three you've mentioned".
Regarding getting a song that is stuck in your head, out of your
head. I said it before, whatever song is stuck, sing it in an
exaggerated Bob Dylan voice. The tune will be killed and you'll soon
have your sanity back.
