Pop music is in a bad place now, but as much as I love all kinds of music, there is absolutely nothing like an expertly written power pop song, it's the best thing in the world. Dosen't matter the language.

Also, anyone heard MC Hammer's new stuff?

i haven't, the last i can remember from MC Hammer is the baggy trouser stuff, which was to last! Any pointers to the new stuff?

French pop music is rubbish. One of my colleagues wrote those words the other day in a piece on saving the world's pop heritage. So let me try again to demolish the old cliché, which springs mainly from lack of exposure and ancient prejudice.

They have been putting down French popular music since the early sixties, when Johnny Hallyday and the yéyé movement came over as funny copies of Elvis and then the Beatles. The early rockeurs français were obviously imitators but they had flair and infused their songs with a French lightness that stands comparison with much of the period's Brit pop. There was also the school of great original French singer-composers whose wit and commentary had no "Anglo-Saxon" equivalent.

Presumably one piece of the irony here is that the columnist does not claim that French pop is rubbish either, but rather goes on to name his top 10 favorite French singers of (mostly) yesteryear.
