Description

Swinger-suited Jacques Dutronc introduced his sound to France in the 1960s by garnishing his pop melodies with psychedelic-garage-rock nuggetry. Jacques’ second album, 1968's Il est Cinq Heures, is his most adventurous - mixing buzzsaw guitar and doo-wop backing vocals into French chanson-style songs.

065 Yazoo - Upstairs at Eric's (1982)

A neck-to-nuts banger of a synth album found in a genre mostly celebrated via individual songs and videos rather than LPs. Upstairs at Eric's contains by my count three 'oh yeah I know that song' songs that are probably recognizable to the greater American public.
