He totally deserves it. He did songs in rock'n'roll, reggae, funk, rock prog, psychedelic pop, etc.

Artists who covered him includes Dionne Warwick, Arcade Fire, Nick Cave, Tame Impala, Franz Ferdinand, Placebo, Portishead, Tricky, Marianne Faithfull, Gonzales, Feist, among others.

Totally agreed, Florian. Gainsbourg was a major international star who still has a large reach of influence. Unfortunately, the NomCom doesn't know that mainland Europe exists.
