Anyone knows, likes or appreciates any Dutch/Flemish Belgian music? :3

There's a small handful of Dutch bands I know, but these guys are the only ones I know that sing in Dutch off the top of my head:

That's common, at least in my experience, mostly limited to one genre of music (metal). Lots of good bands, all singing in English. Other than Heidevolk, I've only come across one band performing in Dutch, but I can't recall their name.

I 'know' some, sure, but 'like' or 'appreciate' is a different story 😜 

 

Honestly most Dutch artists who are actually any good sing in English, because they are trying to appeal to a global audience.

There's Dutch rap and hiphop though, which is not my genre, so can't recommend anything, but here's a place to start I guess:

And then there's this type of absolutely terrible shit that my neighbors like to listen to at the parties they regularly host until 2am:

Spoiler

 

Somehow my aunt likes that same type of fair music. 

Spoiler

 

 

These dudes (Doe Maar) were popular when my parents were young, so I've had to listen to that a fair bit too. Much better than the stuff above in my opinion.

Spoiler

 

 

And here's a couple of songs that have been really popular at different times in the Netherlands

Spoiler

 

(^Only Birds Still Fly From East to West Berlin. It's about the wall, hence the imagery.)

^This lady usually sings in English. She's really famous in the Netherlands. I actually like some of her songs :) 

Same goes for these ladies^

 

 

My grandpa's favorite:

Spoiler

"I don't like ladies with fur coats. Ladies with fur coats are mean. I'm going to start a case against them. I will turn them into leather."

 

Whenever anyone in the Netherlands complains about anything, someone else is bound to spontaneously start singing 'heel zwaar leeeveeeeeen' (such a tough liiiiife) in the sarcastic way she sings it:

Spoiler

 

 

And here's the dumbest Dutch song ever:

Spoiler

 

Yes, the lyrics are just enumerating all the parts of a bike. I had to sing this whole thing in elementary school for one of those school performance thingies. 

 

If it doesn't have to be sung in Dutch, then:

Spoiler

 

 

You're trying to learn Dutch right? If so, I hope this somewhat helped haha

This song has nothing to do with sex, just so you know.

I think this is actually Frisian, not Dutch, but I'm going to link it here nevertheless. Beautiful :)

Lol, I know this one. It's one of the few I know of because Dutch and Flemish songs aren't really my thing. (I personally think they sound cringy). 

 Here are some artist I know of from when I was younger:

- Clouseau: they are quite popular. 

- Romeo's (I don't know any songs of them but I just know they exist and are popular.)

- Laura Lynn

- Niels Destadsbader: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GYhBvRsxKfE

- Jelle Cleymans

- K3 (Though this band is more targeted for kids, there are teenagers and adults who still listen to them)

- Gers Pardoel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UyTazPPWIKk

If I remember correctly, you'll able to find more Dutch songs if you look up " schlagerfestival " (concert festival) and "Liefde voor muziek" (music tv-show).

Some 90s hits:

 

 

 

 

And my personal favourite Dutch Eurovision song (not in the least because of the very dated fashion and the tacky dance moves 😂, but the song is really good)

And I actually feel the opposite :D Dutch language is beautiful and anything sung in this language sounds good to me :3 way better than German, no offence anyone.

It's most-likely because I grew up hearing Asian languages more often that I feel that way about my own language.

I kinda like them because I heard a few of their songs when I was a kid.

I remember that in elementary school, some kids sang a parody of their song. I wanted to post this song here but unfortunately, I don't know the name.

I just know the chorus part that the kids made fun of.

I see Maan was mentioned in one of the previous posts. I see lots of her videoclips on YT, so I imagine she's quite popular? Here's a song by her:
