Pop music and your opinion about it.

Is it supposed to be chanson music? (you don't have to answer)

I said, it's French. It's not at all the kind of music our unshaven guys belt out, their voices hoarse from smoking, about how bad life is for their buddies behind bars. It would be good to familiarize yourself with the subject of discussion before passing judgment.

The bands listed are worthy of respect and honor, but I still think that modern performers are better.

It's hard to say. If you think that modern performers are all better than PF, then I'm even at a loss :)
