For every French rock band who, like Phoenix, became a sensational success the world over, there are many more whose fame was mostly contained within their home country’s borders. This huge selection of artists and songs—which also takes in pioneering rock ’n’ roller Johnny Hallyday, cult alt-rockers Dolly and the hugely influential Téléphone, not to mention Phoenix’s feel-good dance-rock classic “Lisztomania”—shows just how deep and vast the ocean of French rock talent really is. Vive la musique rock!
