french pop from the 1960s that i like.
most of this list is in a vaguely yé-yé mode except for the last serge track, which is from the ballad of melody nelson (and is too great and also 1971 and also a concept album) and the leo ferre track, which remains the saddest song i've ever heard. particularly if you understand the lyrics.
