GROUP 5

Christine and the Queens - Christine

Edith Piaf - Les Trois Cloches

In the meantime, I'll just make another nomination.

Joe Dassin - Les Champs-Elysées

I wonder where people went. There were more people nominating categories and possibly also the covers section, or is my memory faulty? Were the categories too limiting perhaps? Usually you get a couple of extra nominations, now it's a struggle finding enough nominations I actually want to nominate in each of the categories 😂 At least the recent songs category is a bit more general than everything except the covers one, so perhaps it'll bring back some interest. I may be delusional, though.

I hope it's not against the spirit of the category that the video includes english subtitles (don't know how accurate they are either)

Jacques Brel - Le moribond

1 - Mike Stern

I just needed some inspiration to come up with an additional nomination, so I found a video called "My top 100 songs in french from the 80s". Listened through it and liked two. One has already been nominated, and the other was in the last regular TMT20, so didn't want to do it again. So then I came up with this:

Kraftwerk - Tour de France

Françoise Hardy - Le temps de l'amour

Plastic Bertrand - Ça plane pour moi

Unusual time
GROUP 5
3 - Nick Drake - River Man
2 - The Kinks - Strangers
1 - The Stranglers - Golden Brown

No lyrics
GROUP 1
3 - Mike Stern - Wishing Well
2 - Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass - Tijuana Taxi
1 - The Allman Brothers Band - Jessica

Serge Gainsbourg - Vu de l'extérieur

Not for this run, sorry. I guess the categories have been "too special" to be able to keep the enthusiasm of the regular competition, perhaps? I have to admit, "unusual time signatures" sounds a bit nerdy, as an example 😂

Anyway, my additional nomination for the french section:

Kate & Anna McGarrigle - Complainte pour Ste-Cathérine

GROUP 3
3 - Ásgeir - Nýfallið regn
2 - Bill Wurtz - I Wanna Be a Movie Star
1 - Chicago - Introduction

GROUP 4
3 - Dave Brubeck - Take Five
2 - Mike Oldfield - Tubular Bells (Opening Theme)
1 - Peter Gabriel - Solsbury Hill

Christine and the queens - Saint Claude

Stromae - Fils de joie

Fleetwood Mac - Albatross

(I could have chosen a video with more tasteful visuals, but where's the fun in that?)

2 - Genesis - Turn It On Again
1 - Radiohead - 15 Step


GROUP 2
