Why do Matthijs van Nieuwerkerk and Leo Blokhuis never make a point of MK in the Top 2000 a GoGo? I watch every episode and I never see anything of DS or MK. You do see lots of diffrent musicians, sometimes even musicians who have only one time succes and you will never hear again, in Holland we call that a 'mayflie'.

They mostly combine that with an interview with that artist and most of the times it's hard to get a big star doing such a thing

Says a lot, doesn't it;  popular doesn't necessarily mean good.

There is a proverb that translates like this:

Eat sh*t, millions of flies can't be wrong.

Or maybe we are being so hard on this song. I'll launch a campaign: "Free Walk of Life"! Let the music proceed on its path to eternity!

If I thought for one moment you were being anything but sarcastic Nababo, I would recommend your dismissal from the forum!

I was only joking. But in fact we have to forever deal with the awful truth that WoL is soooo popular outside of our world. So, when people get to know that I like Dire Straits and happen to mention WoL, I don't dare to say that it's hated for the massive majority of real fans. I just follow the walk of life...

I know.  It's sad that most people are familiar with Walk but have never heard songs like Water.

Again, proving these type of lists are just a popularity contest.
