French list # 2 : Philippe Manoeuvre's ideal record list

Hi,

Philippe Manoeuvre is probably the most famous french rock critic. He is now chief editor of Rock and Folk magazine;
In 2005, he wrote a beautiful book called "La Discothèque idéale, 101 disques qui ont changé le monde" (Ideal record collection, 101 records that changed the world). The book has the size of an LP; every records get a double page : on the right, the cover; on the left, a very good review, placing the record in its context and telling the story of its making.

Re: French list # 2 : Philippe Manoeuvre's ideal record list

Nicolas, this list has been posted here before and (I think) has already been added to the database. I remembered it because of the odd inclusion of ONE HOT MINUTE.

Re: French list # 2 : Philippe Manoeuvre's ideal record list

ok great !

I hadn't seen it in the list

i was surprised it hadn't been included yet, because the book is quite famous in France

Re: French list # 2 : Philippe Manoeuvre's ideal record list

According to the page 'Critics lists' it's not though.

Re: French list # 2 : Philippe Manoeuvre's ideal record list

This list is one of those that will be included in the next update, which hopefully will be in August.
