Anybody know some good french music with female vocalists? Preferably early sounding, stuff from the 50's and 60's would be great.

It's not old, but I've been listening to Carla Bruni a lot lately. Very folky.

francoise hardy, anna karina, france gall, alice dona, sylie vartan, chantal goya, marie laforet, claire dixon, sheila, christine pilzer, ria bartok, cleo, and patricia carli.

a lot of these artists can be found on the "ultra chicks" series of compilations, so that may be a good place to turn for more names.

Where to start with Darkthrone? I already have Transilvanian Hunger, is that good enough to start or should I get anything else?

yeah, i'd say that's a great starting point (and their finest album).
if you're into exploring their more punk-influenced material you can check out "F.O.A.D." and if you'd like to hear their take on death metal then check out "soulside journey".

if you'd rather work your way up to "transilvanian hunger" then the two preceding albums are also fantastic... "a blaze in the northern sky" and "under a funeral moon".

What genre? There's tons of rock genres from the 90's, but if you're looking for grunge, then go with what instantdeath said. Especially Alice in Chains and Soundgarden. and the Backstreet Boys

good grunge? the band Tad: inhaler and infrared riding hood are awesome!

Okay, thanks.

it's hard to recommend a bad brains album, because the "self-titled", "i against i", and "rock for light" are all pretty damn close in quality, but i'd start with the self-titled and then get one of the other two if you like it.

black flag's "damaged" is definitely the place to start with them.

i'm afraid i can't help with bad religion... they never did it for me.

for bad religion, start with generator, then recipe for hate

now a request...indie with electronic elements like The Notwist. please don't say postal service though
