I suppose I'm a bit close-minded at times, but in my mind all foreign-language music sucks. For my French conversation class, however, our teacher had us research some French musicians. Shockingly, I rather liked some of it! Here are a few good music videos you can enjoy:
1. Mickey 3D "Respire"
This is an adorable video, but the lyrics are rather sad, telling the story of how mankind is destroying the earth. The video's ending is particularly poignant.
2. Bénabar "Dis Lui Oui"
A very catchy tune and cute video. I rather think Bénabar is pretty cute too! His songs are about real life. This one is about him trying to get a girl, Muriel, to take her boyfriend. The boyfriend is driving Bénabar nuts; he sings that he can't handle living with this guy who is continually talking about her and writing poems about their intimate moments.

French music doesn't suck? Have you listened to French RAP?!
French music is incredible. French Black Metal has become a strong favorite of mine. With the strong song writing of bands like Deathspell Omega, Anteus and Blut Aus Nord coupled with the almost legendary and cryptic "Les Legions Noirs" which included Mutiilation, Vlad Tepes, Belketre and Torgeist (as well as a couple of dozen or so others, depending on who you ask), you're left with a solid and interesting scene.
Also, Pas La Peine D'appeller by TTC is infectious!
