Shouldn't the 'Balthasar Gerards Kommando' be included? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.194.146.208 (talk) 16:15, 28 July 2008 (UTC)
Historical perspective
What seems to be missing is any historical perspective, as if Dutch music is a recent phenomenon. See for example Dutch school (music), and compare to Music of Italy. Lambiam 21:56, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
- Yah, it's true ... this has been on my to-do list for a couple years. The Low Countries were the musical center of Europe from approximately 1400 to 1550, and almost all the most famous musicians either came from there or trained with people who came from there. It's a bit hard to decide where to put this information: for example we have a separate Music of Belgium, Music of France, and so forth, and the area covered by such a writeup would intersect with the geographic area of these three modern-day countries.

Electronic music
"Gabber also spawned happy hardcore, a commercial offshoot of gabber."
This is correct (strictly it's just an offshoot - not a commercial offshoot) but importantly that sentence is only true in "Dutch lingo terms". The current Wiki happy hardcore article relates to a different England based form that was an offshoot of the UK breakbeat hardcore. They are not musically the same or connected, with the English having lineage before Gabber was even an active music form. It is much written that the Dutch "happy hardcore" music came from the Scottish music - known in the UK as bouncy techno. This confusion will be fixed! --Revolt 14:27, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
May want to check sources here. . . the statement, "One of the tracks often cited as the first gabber track is "Yaaaah" by Amsterdam-based D-Shake," seriously conflicts with what is stated on the Gabber article which states that, "In general the track We Have Arrived (1990) by Mescalinum United is considered to be the first gabber track." I don't want this page to become a battle of "Amsterdam vs Rotterdam," but we should try and consolidate and pick a definite producer. --Krakaet (talk) 20:12, 20 August 2008 (UTC)
Vitesse
The link to the band Vitesse under the header 'Rock and Pop Music' should be removed or someone should make a page about the band. Currently it links to the page about the football-club with that name NitroX infinity (talk) 23:34, 27 December 2009 (UTC)
Popular music 1900 to 1950
I think we're missing a lot of history of Dutch pop music before the 1950s. Johnny and Jones comes to mind, only because I visited the Amsterdam Historisch Museum, but also because the introduction of vinyl etc must have had an effect in the Netherlands. —Preceding unsigned comment added by R1pp3r (talk • contribs) 14:19, 26 June 2010 (UTC)
Monstercat bands (Vicetone and Chrisson)
