Like Absynthe Minded, performing their greatest song (based on my second favorite poem):

Or Deus, with the architect:

Some are more... experimental,
Like Selah Sue with Raggamuffin:

And of course can't forget about Stromae, with for example Tous les Mêmes:

In Dutch and German speaking parts of Belgium, you also find a lot of "Schlager" music. Which is a type I'm not fond of, mostly popular with elderly people.
But this one by Tom Waes is a great parody, Dos servezas por favor:

If you want a real one, here's one by Eddy Wally, who you may know as a meme (Wow-guy), with Cherie:

One of my favorite French-speaking Belgian singers would probably be Arno, who translated "You've got a friend in me" into one of his rare Dutch songs for the Dutch version of Toy Story.
His Je veux Nager: https://youtu.be/D79kCohxxTU
and "Jij bent een vriend van mij": https://youtu.be/Ai0p4cTcyQ4
I'll Always also have a soft spot for Katastroof, an Antwerpian band. (My homecity.) They are a band who mostly do folk with humoristic, sarcastic lyrics. They profile themselves as an anarchistic and atheist band and many of their songs are against politics, religions, the police, ...
This is 'Lui'n hond': https://youtu.be/RnmVcgsx-bE
And finaly, because I've been going on for far too long with songs no-one will listen to, Noordkaap was one of our best Flemish bands, back in the day:
Een heel klein beetje oorlog: https://youtu.be/_3I9eSm_E2M
Oh bonus one:
When I was 17 my friends were in a band. I wrote two songs lyrics for them. Almost forgot about it. Stereo Alcohol with "Why Sober?", lyrics by yours truly:

I know... I'm sorry.
I thought "The Architect" was pretty cool.
