English is just more natural for pop music. It's just the language. I have lots of favourite Dutch bands (*), but most of them (if not: all of them) sing in English. In Dutch is sounds like cabaret to me. Strange: English love songs are sometimes very childish, but I can handle them. But translated in Dutch they sound like childrens songs.
'I Love You Cos I Do' is a great song, but translated it doesn't do it for me.
I'll find some nice Dutch bands though. I'll post some Van Dik Hout and De Dijk soon.
My favourites (Uwe knows some of them) are The Outsiders, Daryll-Ann, Moke, Supersub, Johan, Sweet d'Buster and Herman Brood & His Wild Romance. The last one made a great Dutch song with his fake band De Breedbekkikkers. If I've got time I'll post some.
