You've made it - our top 25 songs of 2011 are right here. We were blown away by the talent here and perhaps some of the way these songs worked out for the respective artists here could either be sheer luck to have a song turn out so favorably or perhaps it came down to just raw talent. Whatever it is, these songs rocked our day, week, month or heck... even our year. Enjoy the best of the best with our top 25 songs of 2011! 25. The Remainers - House [...]

With the horizon of a new year seemingly inches away, we're proud to present our best songs of 2011. We have been slaving over albums and hidden tracks for the past month, but now the beginning of our five-part list of the best of the best. 100.

Zaterdagmiddag wordt de middag dat ik en een deel van Lowlands smelt. We smelten voor Eefje de Visser, die voor een volle Lima het begrip ontwapenend naar een hoger niveau tilt. Eefje begint met een ingetogen nieuw nummer, "Rome", en...
