In no particular order :
The BlackBox Revelation - Gravity Blues : Belgian band. Young guys, Runner's up at Humo's Rock Rally* in 2006. They have even played in the US and will be playing in Belgium/ The Netherlands and Germany in sept/august. I also love the video for this song.
The Ting Tings - That's Not My Name : Ok, this song has been out a while, but I still love listening to this song driving in my car with the sun on my face. It makes my head bob even in the morning, and that's a rare thing.
Freaky Age - Where Do We Go Now : This is a Belgian band of guys who are only like 16 years old, but this is one catchy song. They are playing a whole bunch of dates this summer/autumn, so maybe I'll go check them out.
Air Traffic - Time Goes By : Not necessarily a band that has come up with something that's totally new, but I can't help really liking their album Fractured Life and Time Goes By is perfect for singing along in your car (or at your job, depending on your collegues) while banging your head.
A Brand : Time. I really liked their first single,Riding your Ghost in 2004, but Time shows that they have grown as a band. Great song.
If you haven't heard about some of the songs, you should definately check them out and let me know what you think!
* Humo's Rock Rally is an important contest in Belgium for rock bands who are starting out

Hey, lovely to find your comment over on my blog. I had to laugh though, I was heading for Rome to teach English, after my time in Istanbul ... that was the loose plan, as I adore Italy too.
Then I met this Flemish guy, he has kids, we live in Belgie but sometimes, when I'm really lucky, I run away to Italy.
Good luck with getting there. I'm sure you will if you really want it.
Oh and you left Tom Boonen off your list of good things about Belgium ;)
Thanks for your comment di mackey!
I did forget Tom Boonen!
Where do you live somewhere in Belgium?
