Les Cowboys Fringants "Les Antipodes" (2019 La Tribu; 2020 reissue)
This is one of those records that was huge in Quebec a few years ago but didn't get much airplay outside. Essentially the equivalent of "Big In Japan", as is often the case here. The opener "L'Amérique Pleure" is a gorgeous song about a truck driver witnessing the decay of civilization while traveling across America. The chorus essentially translates to "It's so sad that when I return home, park my old truck, it's all of America that I see crying in my rearview mirror" (it's more poetic in French). The band integrates a lot of traditional Quebec musical sounds into their contemporary tunes, so it's a pretty good cultural introduction as well. I'm adding a video link if you're interested.

Bran Van 3000 - Glee
One of the most Canadian albums in my collection and of course an album made by a band from Montreal definitely features a some songs en français.

Great reissue too - thanks for pointing that out a little while back. Played the hell out of that in 1997. It’s great that it uses the original Canadian track listing and mixes but still provides the US tracks as extras.

First thing that came to mind for today was Kate Bush singing 'Jeux Sans Frontiers'. I'm awarding bonus imaginary points to myself since I haven't listened to this album in a long time and I forgot how much I liked it.

Echo & the Bunnymen - Silver b/w Angels and Devils (1984)
One of the best songs from their best album. Sadly I have no Quebecois artists in my 7in collection, so a bit of a stretch on this one. Recorded in Paris. This is the best I can do and it still be a 7in.

Hey!

Hey, my eyes are shooting sparks

Is she gonna put sugar on my tongue? Is she gonna gimme, gimme, gimme some?
Is this song about sex or drugs? Or both? Play music that references sex or drugs, bonus imaginary points if both.
Lorde reveals she was on MDMA while making 'Melodrama' and says each of her albums can be distinguished by drugs she was using at the time
The 24-year-old pop star said alcohol influenced her debut, "Pure Heroine," and cannabis shaped her most recent album, "Solar Power."
... Lorde's most recent release, "Solar Power," is linked to cannabis - "not bong hits in the bedroom so much as gummies on a bluff at sunset," Haskell wrote.
Lorde previously told The New York Times' Joe Coscarelli that she originally set out to make a "big acid record."
"I had, like, one bad acid experience with this album, and I was like, 'Meh, it's a weed album.' It's one of my great weed albums," she said.
