There were often problems with the rhythm section. Non-rock, but I really liked Laurent Voulzy's "Cach? Derriere". And I don't know why I bought it, a really bad Belgian group called "Wallace Collection". I bought some European “rock” at the time; some of it still sounds OK – Negresses Vertes- Mlah,

Same for Goldmann. They are chanteurs de vari?t?. (unlike the Rita Mitsouko ; read Rock'n'Folk, they'll explain the difference) OTOH, you missed l'homme ? la t?te de chou by Gainsbourg, and Manu Chao's productions by himself or with the Mano Negra among the French productions cited. Much of the good French music lately has been hip hop anyway - IAM, NTM and a few others. And of course, France has always had a few very good singers, Brel, Brassens, Barbara, and many others. OTOH, beyond Noir D?sir, French Rock never got very far, killed at birth by Johnny Hallyday and the likes. Patrcia Kass as rock? urgh. Same for Goldmann. They are chanteurs de vari?t?.

So that adds, what, one each? Love Over Gold is 1982, so it fits the time frame, if nothing else. Jack, ok on Clash & TTd’A. So that adds, what, one each?

Doug: The Clash are punker than Talking Heads. Terrence Trent D'Arby is also black. Is Love Over Gold not pre 79? What I want to know is why so much U2?
