The Prodigy - Voodoo People

[Sparky]

Voodoo People - [censored] Tune

Fat of the Land - Groundbreaking

Smack my Bitch up - Awesome video

No Good (Start the Dance) - My all time fave Prodigy Tune

 

We often put the Prodigy on at our after parties and it always go down a storm, in fact I don't think I know anyone who doesn't like the Prodigy (apart from the Beastie Boys and I don't know them personally!)

Fat of the land was AWESOME!!!!! It went totally against what was expected from them. It was totally a new sound, and is their best album, the new one is better but no one will have heard it yet

 

i loved fat of the land as well just cuz it didnt sumthin that shouldnt have been done. (the merging of rock and dance) and even now only a few artists are experiments in merging the 2 fields and not to the same extent that prodigy did.

That's bollocks, it had already been done way before Fat of the Land, maybe not in the mainstream, but it had. There's loads of Rock/Metal groups that were crossing-over into Hip-Hop and funk etc. And what about the Chemical Brothers, are you saying there's no Rock influences in their music ?

Fat of the Land was mediocre, especially after the genius of Music For the Jilted Generation. It's one of my all time favourites.

And the album's not that old Alison, I've got all 3 of them on CD

Thats neither here nor there, personal preference really. I have no probs with that. Personally I think all chemical bros albums have been mediocre. For me Fat of the land took it to a higher level.

Not really, I didn't say I liked the Chemical Brothers, just that the Prodigy weren't the first/only rock/dance cross-over.

but isnt that the point? people dont get praised for pushing the boundaries if its not heard by many people. its bringing these new styles and ideas to the mainstream w/o compramising thier creativitaty and keeping thier integraty that they deserve the credit 4 imo
