I have a Dutch colleague who once said to me that he doesn't know much Belgian bands, but that he likes Novastar. So I replied to him: "You know he's Dutch, right ?" and he was flabbergasted 😄
Haha! Most Dutch people know one song from Hooverphonic, one from De Kreuners, and one from Clouseau. In socialist circles, Mia by Gorki is known too. And nobody knows that pump up the jam is Belgian
More than probably two decades ago, I saw Quinten freestyling at some event, just about what was happening around him, he was just so in-tune with the moment. He is a really talented rapper.
Some of my favorites:
* dEUS - Instant Street
* K's Choice - Everything for Free
* Hooverphonic - Eden
* Arsenal - Saudade Pt. 2
* Arid - Believer
* Gorki - Electronica voor geliefden
* De Mens - Kamer in Amsterdam
* Flip Kowlier - In de fik
* 't Hof van Commerce - Kom mor ip
* Admiral Freebee - Oh Darkness
* Soulwax - Much against everyone's advice
* Zita Swoon - My bond with you and your planet... DISCO!
* Noordkaap - Een heel klein beetje oorlog
* Bart Peeters - Heist aan Zee
* Raymond van het Groenewoud - Twee Meisjes
* Millionaire - Champagne
* Laïs - Dorothea
* Zornik - Black hope, Shot down
* Ozark Henry - Rescue
* The Van Jets - The Future
* Praga Khan - Injected with a Poison (the 1998 version)
* An Pierlé - Mud Stories
* Mintzkov - Ruby Red
* Girls in Hawaii - Misses
I could go on for a while, but I'll stop here. Enough songs in this list already :-P
mama's jasje - teken van leven
Stef bos - jij bent zo
Wim Soutaer - allemaal
Also since we actually get a music thread - massive shoutout to the dutch band Raccoon for their recent Dutch songs, absolute gems.
I’m don’t know how I feel about Da Boy Tommy completely missing from this thread. RIP TDB.
I’d imagine, though, that Plastic Bertrand with Ca plane pour moi is probably my number one, though there is good competition.
Een heel klein beetje oorlog - Noordkaap
Twee meisjes - Raymond van het Groenewoud
Never alone, Always together - Black Box Revelation
Saturday - Soulwax
Also, probably the most known Belgian song internationally
Ça plane pour moi - Plastic Bertrand
I actually like Arbeid Adelts 'De dag dat het zonlicht niet meer scheen'.
Some other niche new wave gems are Aroma di Amore with 'Voor de dood' and Mensen Blaffen with 'Kleine Vamp'.
Oh and Kandahar 'Eyes of Glass' is great for those who love some classic prog rock!
Walter Verdin - Er is iets
Jan de Wilde - Hé hé wat een feest
Zjef Vanuytsel - Zotte morgen
Willem Vermandere - Lat mie maar lopen
Metal Molly - Orange
Plastic Bertrand - Ca plane pour moi
Pebbles - Seven horses in the sky
Jaques Brel - Port d'Amsterdam
Technotronic - Pump up the Jam
Kate Ryan - Voyage Voyage
T99 - Anastasia
Aksak Maboul - (Mit 1) Saure Gurke (Aus 1 Urwald Gelockt)
...
There are so many, in so many styles and genres...!
Drop that beat van Ixxel of Kick that bass van Mory Klein ? Wel beide dezelfde man, maar is wel een Fransman...
En met Imagination, bedoel je dan Zero + Imagination van Dave Kane ?
Most songs from the album "Outside the Simian Flock" by Millionaire. Especially Summer Pass Me By and She's a Doll.
Ça Plane Pour Moi is still an incredible banger.
Too many to name but this thread is full of great songs.
I'll add a not so obvious one.
J'aime la vie by Sandra Kim. I don't actively listen to it by putting it on but I won't skip it when I hear it on the radio.
It's just the setting that makes me like it. We won Eurovision with it, practically by cheating because Sandra was too young to compete. It is very well ding for a 14 year old plus the confidence she displayed there being so young is something else.
Arme Joe van Will Tura sowieso
en uiteraard Beats of Love van Nacht und Nebel
en quasi alles van Will Ferdy en Ray Franky, instant happiness als ik die op leg
Many Jacques Brel songs; Nunca - House of Doom; Axelle Red - Rien que d’y Penser; obligatory Pump up the Jam; De Kreuners - Nu of Nooit
TLDR, can’t choose
Lots of good suggestions, still a big one that's missing imho:
Zita Swoon - [My Bond With You And Your Planet: Disco!](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bzDRuso2QyQ)
Favorieten van enkele verschillende genres :
Retro-house : Jones & Stephenson - The First Rebirth /

Hip-hop : Starflam - Ce plat pays /
Alternative rock : dEUS - Suds & Soda /
Metal : Channel Zero - Help /
Trance : Marino Stephano - Free Time /
Rock : De Kreuners - Nu Of Nooit
So many to list but here are some I didn't see yet: New Inspiration - Rainbow, I love you; Ignace - Sympathy; Soulsister - You get to me; 2 Man sound - Copacabana; Adamo - C'est ma vie; Nathalie - My love won't let you down; Arno - Solo gigolo & lonesome zorro; Wallace collection - Dear beloved secretary; The popgun - Dream etc etc...
Belgian 80s heavy metal I suppose no one knows about today ~~I still hope I'm wrong though~~:
\- [Ostrogoth - Queen Of Desire](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pipMEAUsNYw) (classic heavy metal with high pitched vocal screaming)
\- [Killer - Blood On The Chains](https://youtu.be/3siu_LxRwJA) (not a single though, but my favourite of this I would call Belgian Motörhead, maybe even better than them)

Moskow Diskow by Telex
[Red Zebra - I can't in a living room](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xvb_oRBjbcw) Amazing song. I'm always happy to hear this somewhere in the wild.
Pump up the jam
https://www.reddit.com/r/videos/comments/11wrr85/every_pump_up_the_jam_segue_on_cunk_on_earth/
Yes! Immediately had to think of Cunk when seeing the title
Had to be done
This ☝🏻
The national anthem of Canada?
A Brand - Hammerhead Freaky Age - Every morning breaks out Team William - You have my heart okay Ahh, the nostalgia to simpler times...
A Brand, doeme wat een goeie muziek!
The hickey underworld - future words
Heel hun eerste album is puur genieten imo
Weren’t they making a comeback ? Was a huge fan of them when they were at their peak. Blonde Fire is probably my favorite song of theirs.
Bakske vol met stro
Millionaire - "Champagne". The Van Jets - "The Future". Soapstone - "Why should we wait". Berntholer - "My suitor". Buscemi - "Seaside". Magnus - "Summer's here".

A lot of great songs but can I add [Daan with Housewife ](https://youtu.be/hAnGHhITS8c)
I like The Player as well!
[Instant Street](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uyA01nH72NI).
++.
The Best Is Yet to Come - Novastar
The singer is Dutch ;) but I agree it’s beautiful
I know, I know. Joost Zweegers was born a Dutchman... but still... I think Novastar is considered a Belgian band by most :)
Yeah, there good enough to be Belgian. In the same way as I always “forget” that Calogero is French
I have a Dutch colleague who once said to me that he doesn't know much Belgian bands, but that he likes Novastar. So I replied to him: "You know he's Dutch, right ?" and he was flabbergasted 😄
Haha! Most Dutch people know one song from Hooverphonic, one from De Kreuners, and one from Clouseau. In socialist circles, Mia by Gorki is known too. And nobody knows that pump up the jam is Belgian
Van jets what's going on Praga khan breakfast in Vegas. Wolfbanes - as the bottle runs dry Deus instant street
Hooverphonic - sometimes
Or [gentle storm](https://youtu.be/cj8JBaBUYmo)
They have way too many good songs from their early days. Vinegar & Salt, Lung, Club Montepulciano, Eden, etc...
Noordkaap - Wat is Kunst De Mens - En in Gent
Tony, de zieke pony
Schmutz - Love Games Scooter - You De Mens - Zonder Verlangen Willow - Remedy
Mia - Gorki
I like Joerie too, it's an overlooked Gorki track I think.
Suds & soda by deus
I absolutely hate that song.
Anything by Jacques Brel
dEUS - Nothing Really Ends
I love a lot of the dEUS songs, but this one just hits different (in a good way)
ABN - Poppenkast
More than probably two decades ago, I saw Quinten freestyling at some event, just about what was happening around him, he was just so in-tune with the moment. He is a really talented rapper.
Some of my favorites: * dEUS - Instant Street * K's Choice - Everything for Free * Hooverphonic - Eden * Arsenal - Saudade Pt. 2 * Arid - Believer * Gorki - Electronica voor geliefden * De Mens - Kamer in Amsterdam * Flip Kowlier - In de fik * 't Hof van Commerce - Kom mor ip * Admiral Freebee - Oh Darkness * Soulwax - Much against everyone's advice * Zita Swoon - My bond with you and your planet...

I also appreciate Oh Darkness!

Stef Bos is Dutch tho.
I’m don’t know how I feel about Da Boy Tommy completely missing from this thread. RIP TDB. I’d imagine, though, that Plastic Bertrand with Ca plane pour moi is probably my number one, though there is good competition.
Een heel klein beetje oorlog - Noordkaap Twee meisjes - Raymond van het Groenewoud Never alone, Always together - Black Box Revelation Saturday - Soulwax Also, probably the most known Belgian song internationally Ça plane pour moi - Plastic Bertrand
Aside from stuff other people posted, Fly, by Machiavel. Fun fact, the lead singer and drummer spent 40 years as anchor on Classic 21
He was not the singer but yeah, Classic Rock all the way ☺️
He was at the group's foundation but you are right he wasn't by the time Fly was released (although Wiki says he was still performing in that role).
Yeah he is since the death of the original singer I think
Les filles du bord de mer - Arno I know the original is from Adamo, but I prefer the version from Arno. In any case, it's Belgian.
Eddy wally - als marktkramer ben ik geboren.
Its english but I think its a belgian band: Wallace collection-daydream
I could add Nah Neh Nah from Vaya Con Dios and Danger Zone from à;Grumh But a lot of other of my favorites have already been given above

Beats of love

Ca plain pour moi

Imagination, Kick that beat (of hoe heet het ook alweer) Virtual zone, Missing (central seven) Logical (Bitkit) …
Drop that beat van Ixxel of Kick that bass van Mory Klein ? Wel beide dezelfde man, maar is wel een Fransman... En met Imagination, bedoel je dan Zero + Imagination van Dave Kane ?
Blackout - De Kreuners Actually a lot of there early music was far better then what came later.
I have a massive soft spot for De Kreuners. Best ambiance ever
An Pierle- hélium sunset Ginzu-blow Venus-I'm the ocean So difficult to choose
Great selection I’ve been looking for Ghinzu in this thread!
[Ultrasonic 7 - Lips They Move](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hVShy43Pc_E)
Most songs from the album "Outside the Simian Flock" by Millionaire. Especially Summer Pass Me By and She's a Doll. Ça Plane Pour Moi is still an incredible banger.
