John Lennon once claimed that "French rock is like English wine." Clearly, John never tuned in to Radio Blagon. Based out of Bordeaux, in the Southwest of France, Blagon actually features a whole buffet of musical genres, including reggae, electro and ambient. But if you're looking for something particularly out of the box, we'd recommend checking out their French rock station. With their eclectic lineup of top, exclusively French punk, pop, and dance artists from yesterday, today, and tomorrow, you'll quickly find out that John probably spoke too soon when he dissed French music so many years ago. As for British wine? We'll leave you to decide that one.
You can find Radio Blagon in the French genre of the SHOUTcast Radio Directory.
We broke open a bottle of some of the finest that England's vineyards have to offer, and got up close and personal with Radio Blagon on Wednesday. Here are ten of the songs we sipped on:
