Radio 2's "Canon van de popmuziek"

Postby Rob » Fri Jul 06, 2012 4:19 pm

I only recently discovered Acclaimed Music, but I might have a list to contribute to the top 3000 songs. Last October Dutch radio station Radio 2 broadcasted their so-called popmusic canon, a list of songs compiled by music experts (although who those experts are isn't specified). I don't know if a radio list qualifies for an inclusion in AM, especially since this list contains mostly songs that reflects the usual content of Radio 2 (they mostly play recent soft-pop and oldies and virtually no hip-hop, dance music or electronic music), but it might be of interest anyway.

Link to the list on their website: http://www.radio2.nl/nieuwspagina/2083/bekijk-de-canon-van-de-popmuziek.html

Difficult decision. What does other Dutches (Stephan, Gillingham...) think? Eligible or not?

Anyway, thanks Rob for your post!
