Clean-up[edit]

I suggest cleaning up the list, which is now uselessly long, with many obcure bands that have no Wikipedia article and don't really belong there. I propose leaving only the bands

which have at least released one full studio album
which already have a Wikipedia article

I wouldn't remove all those bands, because if people see their names, even without an article they might search for the band on the internet for their site. So I would only remove those bands that don't have a website.

But what about the ones with a page in dutch —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.245.177.99 (talk) 22:30, 26 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I absolutely disagree with the article's opening sentence. Although it may be true that the Belgium rock and pop scene could boast few remarkable bands, songs or records before the end of the seventies, it is simply ridiculous to say that "Rock and roll was established in Belgium only in the late 1970s, long after the style had penetrated most of the rest of the world". Surely the author has never heard of The Cousins, The Pebbles or Wallace Collection (all three of which had an international hit in the sixties), Ferre Grignard, Kandahar...? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.176.127.203 (talk) 21:18, 2 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
