Dutch music

[u/gasolineperfume]

Hi, I'm you learn Dutch and I want to listen to, to some Dutch music, but I don't really like what I'm finding.. It's all kind of pop and I don't know where to look.

My favourite bands/musicians:

The Red Hot Chili Peppers Hole The Mamas & The Papas Pearl Jam The Smashing Pumpkins The Beatles Metallica Green Day Lesley Gore Ella Fitzgerald Pink Floyd Mitski Verruca Salt Bon Jovi Tom Petty ABBA Alice In Chains Queen Radiohead bôa Lady Gaga The Vines

[u/Pinus010]

Maybe bands like Racoon, The Scene, Hang Youth, Van Dik Hout, De Dijk, Bløf, Herman Brood, Heidenroosjes, Ploegendienst, Doe Maar

[u/ninasmolders → u/Pinus010]

Doe maar is amazing to introduce people too, nederdub, and the true 80s videoclips (highly recommend watching them along too)

[u/Bwuhbwuh]

Heideroosjes is basically the Dutch Green Day.

[u/TheGreatLabMonkey → u/Bwuhbwuh]

Thank you for this. New music for meeeeee!

[u/gasolineperfume → u/Bwuhbwuh]

I just listened.. you're so right

[u/ExtremeSlothSport → u/gasolineperfume]

Too bad about the pedophilia.

[u/Josef_Heiter]

Dutch pop music (aka Nederpop) from the 80’s is great.

[u/Happygrandmom]

Klein Orkest, het Goede doel.

[u/NylaStasja]

I like many of the bands you listen, so I'm just gonna share some bands I like too, in no particular order. Very broad spectrum of styles, some might not me your vibe, but they might be... many bands make both dutch and english music

doe maar (80's), toontje lager (80's), heidevolk (folk metal, bløf (soft rock bordering on pop/00's), scotch the band (folk), Joost (modern, meme stampstamp), gladde paling (stampstamp! And memes), huilende rappers (parody music, mostly around 100bpm), mooi wark (farmer rock), merol (modern feministic pop), de jeugd van tegenwoordig (00's and 10's pop/rap??), goldband (10's and 20's pop), prins s en de geit (20's stampstamp), Herman van veen (poetic, kinda oldfashioned), normaal (80's rock), de skaggers (ska).

I love folk and there are quite some dutch folk bands, May not be your vibe, but they are easy to follow in lyrics so I'm just gonna put them here: pyrolysis, seed,plunder, omnia, nubia, vanaheim (folkmetal).

[u/remcohaszing → u/NylaStasja]

Don’t forget to mention Chain of Dogs 🤘

[u/Mattias_exe → u/NylaStasja]

Very good extensive list, mentions everything I would suggest

[u/SundaySloth_]

Of course it depends on personal preference, but my favorite dutch artists are Froukje Sef Wies Racoon And maybe more that I’m forgetting

[u/TheOGSheepGoddess → u/SundaySloth_]

Really enjoying your list! Thank you. Very chill

[u/SundaySloth_ → u/TheOGSheepGoddess]

No problem, glad to hear it! Which artists did you like specifically?

[u/TheOGSheepGoddess → u/SundaySloth_]

Really enjoying Froukje and Wies. I'm partial to mellow feminine vocals, so they're right up my alley.

[u/rieneet → u/TheOGSheepGoddess]

You may also like S10 then

[u/TheOGSheepGoddess → u/rieneet]

Thank you, I'll go listen!

[u/vegaburger → u/TheOGSheepGoddess]

And maybe Meau as well!

[u/Phelox]

Doe maar and Het Goede Doel are great as has been mentioned before. I'm surprised Wim Sonneveld, Froukje and Spinvis haven't been named more.

[u/gasolineperfume]

I just realized I wrote "I'm you Dutch" instead of "I'm new to learning Dutch".

Wow.

Never let me touch a keyboard again 😭

[u/Eastern-Drink-4766]

Spinvis

[u/skatalite2020]

Doe Maar De Raggende Mannen De Scene De Dijk

[u/muffinsballhair → u/skatalite2020]

Ik vond zelf dat Neuk je Oma in d'r Stoma nummer van Kutschurft altijd zo'n classifier. Hogere literaire kwaliteit dan Poep in je Hoofd vond ik altijd.

[u/skatalite2020 → u/muffinsballhair]

Ik moet heel eerlijk bekennen dat ik nog niet bekend was met het oeuvre van deze Nieuwegeinse formatie. De literaire creativiteit die deze muzikanten aan de dag leggen is inderdaad zeer verfrissend.

Maar gelet op de niet-nederlandse afkomst van OP, zou ik toch in aanmerking willen nemen dat de articulatie van de Raggende Mannen wellicht net iets duidelijker is en daardoor iets toegankelijker..

[u/eti_erik]

Boudewijn de Groot, Ramses Shaffy, Doe Maar, Het Goede Doel

[u/NickRutte → u/eti_erik]

Het Goede Doei is goated so underrated

[u/mapanili]

Joost (Klein)

[u/Pandamaud]

The Dutch rockband: Golden Earring

[u/Revolution_Evolves_1 → u/Pandamaud]

All songs are in English though

[u/Pandamaud → u/Revolution_Evolves_1]

Oop didn't know it was for language purpose, my bad 😊

Here is a list of many Dutch language artists with links to where you can listen to them.

Poke around and find some new favorites.

[u/RegisterKooky6032]

Try Bram Vermeulen.

[u/Sh33zl3]

Mentioned already: Doe maar + Racoon. Toontje lager, Het goede doel.

[u/lovelyrita_mm]

[u/viuvou]

Heidevolk!

[u/RobertDeveloper]

Dingetje, known for classic such as:

Rubberen kaplaarzen Hou toch die kop Sambal bij

[u/Marge_Gunderson_]

Try De Staat. Brilliant band, all sung in English, so not great if you want to listen to music to expand your Dutch learning, but they make great music.

[u/AsaToster_hhOWlyap]

i do not find Dutch music very interesting, either. There is no real alternative or rock vibe (the sings in Dutch). They are better at electronic music.

But try

• Eefje de Visser
  
• Yevgueni (graet lyrics, flemish but very good understandable)
  
• Wende
  
• De Jazzpolitie
  
• Stephanie Struijk
  
• Hannelore Bedert
  
• WOLKEN
  
• Eva De Roovere
  
• Abel
  
• The Kik

[u/ZealousidealRent5470]

Acda en de Munnik

[u/Low_Proposal5815 → u/ZealousidealRent5470]

This needs more upvotes

[u/ZealousidealRent5470 → u/Low_Proposal5815]

Indeed, they are poetic, sing about life, feelings, anxiousness and they’re funny and their lyrics often have more layers.

[u/Certain_Ad8242]

I’m not a real fan of most Dutch music, but there are some real gems: Moss, Eefje de Visser, John Coffey, Urban Dance Squad, Coparck, Jungle by night, Dool, Johan, Tim Knol, The Golden Earring, Wodan Boys and of course Van Halen 😉

[u/DirkVanVroeger]

Stuurbaard bakkebaard?

[u/divine_mania]

De ambassade - trippy gloomy

[u/Terrible_Beat_6109]

Vogeltjesdans.

[u/West_Tune539 → u/Terrible_Beat_6109]

[u/sinnedslip]

buehaha, I did this playlist, but I end up liking “bad” music 😄

https://open.spotify.com/playlist/1FjALS59vURTwLgvNOaWER?si=BrPw2nUNRlS4CYtnR0QsvQ&pi=6uZYwaoFT0yQ_

[u/trevcharm]

i'm not a nederlander but i'm trying to learn nederlands.

i also wanted to find some nederlander music, and i have pretty similar taste in music to you (i like most of your list).

from what hasn't been mentioned yet, i found these: Klangstof, Birth of Joy, traumahelikopter, Robin Kester.

and now i have a lot more to explore from all the suggestions here too!

[u/Flying_Furnace]

Never been a big fan of Dutch music, but I like toontje lager and klein orkest

[u/FractalNL]

Fresku has some great Dutch hiphop

[u/justtalking1]

Trockener Kecks

A bit less rockish than rhcp but https://youtu.be/TCTSrEVLTd4

They also have a song “Ik denk nooit meer aan jou” but you have to be in the mood I guess.

[u/expostulation]

Joost

[u/Calandrir]

De Kift (beautiful lpoetic Dutch ycics with brassband/rock like music) and The Ex (original punk, but mostly english lyrics if I recall correctly)

[u/feestfrietje]

Thijs Boontjes!

[u/Juultje_Selderij]

Froukje is the only dutch musician I listen to tbh

[u/Vivid-Turnover-2937]

Ngl, I can't get into Dutch music lol.
