Well if you're already into Brel... I can confidently give you Brassens. I consider him to have been the greatest poet. It's difficult to convey just how beautifully he told mundane things (les copains d'abord, l'orage...), how he made life and death sweet (le testament, la prière...), how he brought the humblest people under the limelight (la complainte des filles de joie, l'auvergnat...), and elevated already beautiful works of poetry (Paul Fort, Victor Hugo) into musical classics (Gastibelza, le petit cheval...).
