The History of French Rock and Roll

Today, instead of bringing you tall tales or funny stuff, I'm going to write a completely nonfictional post. I am going to present you with the history of French Rock and Roll music from the beginning to the end non-stop. I will cover every detail of punk, prog, pop, and so forth. So let's begin!

The obvious place to start is Serge Gainsbourg. Gainsbourg blended Jazz, ballads, mambo, lounge, reggae, pop (including adult contemporary pop, kitsch pop, ye ye pop, 80s pop, pop-art pop, prog pop, space-age pop, psychedelic pop, and erotic pop), disco, calypso, Africana, bossa nova and rock and roll to create a unique sound which he used to write songs about wanting to have sex with his daughter.

This concludes my piece on the history of French Rock and Roll, in which I have cited every single relevant French rock artist in history.

Fine.
What? You seriously thought the people that brought us Cirque du Soleil have had any contributions to rock and roll, or anything bad ass for that matter? Please.
