Wendy's Picks
Oh, the diversity!
Comments are greatly appreciated; both positive and negative - I like hearing the opinions from others about these songs =). I'm horrible in naming the music genre; so all genres listed below are taken from the artists page on wikipedia.
Time for a themed rotation =). All the following songs are from Dutch musicians <3.

Pete Philly & Perquisite - Mystery Repeats
Hip Hop | English | 9/10
Comments: This isn't a style I usually listen to, but I simply adore this song. I can listen to it over and over again, I love it!

Anouk - Lost
Rock | English | 8/10
Comments: Anouk is the greatest female singer Holland has. She has an amazing voice and is real, she takes no crap and maked the music she wants. She tried to make it in The States a few times but that didn't go too well. Their loss. She's amazing.

Anouk - Good God
Rock | English | 8/10
Comments: Yes, 2 songs of Anouk, she is that great. Good God is very different than Lost (Lost is kind of slow, Good Good is louder). You can find me screaming along to this song when I'm driving.

GEM - Look
Indie | English | 7/10
Comments: One of the best Dutch bands if you ask me. They're quite unknown here, mostly people that are into Indie bands know them, but they are so deserving of a listen. They're great guys as well =).

Within Tempation - Ice Queen
Symphonic Metal | English | 9/10
Comments: Again not a style I normally listen to, but I'm in love with this song. Years ago I listened to it daily. I didn't put it on forever but then I listened to it again this week and fell in love all over again.

Racoon - Brother
Alternative Rock | English | 8/10
Comments: Another one of my favourite Dutch bands. It's music with no annyoing extra stuff and sounds, same goes for the guys of Racoon. What you see is what you get and that is definitely good enough.

Beth Hart - Skin
Rock | English | 6/10
Comments: A lot of people love her voice so I decided to put her in this rotation. I don't know a lot of her music, but this is pretty okay.

Fluitsma & Van Tijn - 15 Miljoen Mensen
No Idea :p | Dutch | 7/10
Comments: Love this! It's in Dutch and the lyrics are awesome but yeah, wanted to share it nonetheless. It's about Holland and the Dutch people and there are so many typical Dutch things in the lyrics - I like listening to this song when I'm abroad.

Moke - Here Comes The Summer
Britpop | English | 8/10
Comments: Great band. Great music. From Holland *proud*. I first heard their music in the beginning of 2007. It seemed I was alone in liking them, but after a few tv gigs they suddenly were (and still are) everywhere. More fans = more concerts = me happy. This is one of their best songs (in my humble opinion). My favourite line being: we were born red white and blue.

Junkie XL (vs. Elvis) - A Little Less Conversation
Electronical | English | 7/10
Comments: Obviously Elvis isn't Dutch, but Junkie XL is and this remix of 'A Little Less Conversation' is just genious. As for some random information: Junkie XL (Tom Holkenborg) used to be in a band called Nerve. My teacher (who was in that band with him) showed us a video from back then and it was hilarious. They had long hair and went mental lmao.
