I for one really miss the prodigy and don't feel there is anyone since that has replicated their unique sound.

Their work sits almost like a genre on its own and I yurn for more. Their multi-layered lyrics gave a deep commentary on the social issues of the 90's but still remains relevant today as pendulums swing but ultimately remain on the same trajectory.

Weird. Was listening to Fat of the land today for the first time in at least ten years. Banging.

There's really nothing like it is there? That's both amazing and sad - I need more!!

Gawd, I miss them. I know they brought something out a few years ago but it was nowhere near as good as their earlier stuff. For that matter, I miss Crystal Method too.

Yeah some Crystal Method is pretty good and so are some of the Chemical Brothers stuff. I feel like the Prodigy left a larger cultural footprint though. I relate to when I listen to the music, thus elevating the pleasure derived from it. The video to "smack my bitch up" just turns everything about the song on its head and is the epitome of the rebellious 90's spirit that wanted to challenge every stereotype and preconception.

They are still about and touring. Their latest album, has a few good songs on there. It was a lot better than the previous one. Fat of the Land, has to be their crowning acheivement. Diesel Power, Narayan were awesome. Live! Not seen a better. Their mosh pits are insane.

Music for the jilted generation and prodigy experience. Killed those albums and had all the singles, one love single had rhythm of life on it and my grampa bought a wicked set up for my room, had an amp and sub woofer and KEF speakers!

Iceland, but Aldi is closer..

From Charlie to Take me to the hospital,

Their sound has been original and an amazing act live..

Fat of the land has gotta be their best work..

Liam, Leo, maxim and Keith, probably the best thing to come outta Essex, except maybe for sham 69.. Far better than that Towie lot!!

Although this cat is better than that Towie lot!!
