Dick Annegarn is with Jacques Brel my favourite Belgian songwriter. He is not Prog, but he creates unusual athmospheres and rather strange lyrics (and a special humour) inside the 'French Chanson' genre. Apart from having written the inofficial hymn for Bruxelles he has written great  tunes as 'Bébé Elephant' , 'Ubu', 'Coutances', 'Mireille' and others. BTW he is still releasing good records.

Salut Martin,

Dick is not Belgian, but Dutch , but he has lived in Brussels for most of his life. But yes, he has embraced fully the strange sense of Belgian songwriting

Outside of his best known song Bruxelles, I cannot say I know his stuff that well.

To progheads, one should hear the album D A made with the leader of Cos, Daniel Schell in 1979 as a duo.

let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword
