90's Hall Of Fame

And the Prodigy? What the fuck? An uninspiring dance act who made one album with four decent tunes on it. Media buzz doth not a legend make.

I'm mildly confused - which album ?(

As far as I'm concerned Prodigy have 4 great albums moving on from raveish stuff to a darker level altogether to two slightly more commercial albums perhaps but that still had that huge breakbeat thang to them that Howlett does so well. In British music on that level and in vaguely that genre I'd only put The Chemical Brothers, Underworld, Leftfield, Bassment Jaxx and maybe Fatboy Slim up there with them...*

On the uninspiring note they're the act that got me into all things electronica thanks to their 'Experience' album so they can't be all bad :up:

*I bet I've missed someone out ;)

i think your way off the mark regarding the prodigy, when they burst on the scene in 1991 they had a huge hand in getting underground acts out there into the mainstream, although howlett was responsible for opening a can of worms by having a hit single with childrens safety film sample (charly), at the time it was a vibrant and exciting record, the likes of which hadnt hit the charts before and i think the record stills holds up well today.

i really cannot see what dr dre has done full stop, care to educate me please?
