Originally released April 2016: Believe it or not there is a thriving rock scene in North America that has been churning out great music for decades but very few people outside of the Canadian province of Quebec even know it exists. This is because Quebec (population 8 million) is a predominantly French speaking province surrounded by English speaking provinces and the US below and this has led to the development of what some people refer to as Francophone, or Quebec-based bands or artists that choose to perform in French and thus find themselves isolated to Quebec. A band from Quebec that performs in French will be heard by very few people outside of Quebec and that's just the way it is, until now. On this episode BJ is joined once again by Simon Fauteux, a rock artist from Quebec who chose to perform in French. Simon has put together a list of 20 of the greatest songs by the most important rock artists from Quebec, from the seventies until today. OFFENBACH - CALINE DE BLUES OFFENBACH - J'AI L'ROCK'N'ROLL PIS TOE CORBEAU - ILLEGAL CORBACH - CHEVALIERS DE LA NUIT BEAU DOMMAGE - LE PICBOIS HARMONIUM - POUR UN INSTANT ROBERT CHARLEBOIS - TOUT ECARTILLE AUT'CHOSE - LES PAY D'EN HAUT FRANCOEUR - LES ELUCIBRATIONS DE JOHNNY MICHEL PAGLIARO - J'AI MARCHE POUR UNE NATION GAROLOU - SUR LE BOUT DU PONT PLUME LATRAVERSE - LEON LE CAMELEON GILLES VALIQUETTE - JE SUIS COOL ASTEUR DANIEL BELANGER - OPIUM MANGE L'OURS MANGE - POUPEE VAUDOU POSSESSION SIMPLE - COMME UN CAVE LES DALES HAWERCHUCK - LES DALES HAWERCHUCK LES COLOCS - PASSE-MOE LA PUCK GALAXIE - PORTUGAL MORDICUS - GRANDVILLE SIMON FAUTEUX - LAURA Learn more about your ad choices.
