Good French Musicians?

Question

I'm learning French (in a class), but I have also self-studied Brazilian Portuguese and a bit of Spanish. Listening to music and watching movies has helped me learn a lot. Movies are easy, but I can't seem to find good French artists or songs.

Any suggestions?

Answer 1

Indochine is a good french band

Answer 2

Julien Doré is good i think he won french idols. And France is well known about it's Electro music.
