Prodigy was the only electronic music act that got consistently invited to rock/metal festivals. That's how hard they went live.

Hard to hear this and not be IMMEDIATELY transported back to the 90s!

This song was absolutely massive here in the UK. Thankfully it didn't spark an arson epidemic.

While I love this song, I think "Breathe" would've been a better Prodigy song to use as the first reaction. Some other ones to check out: Their Law, Voodoo People, Mind Fields, and Invaders Must Die.

RIP Keith Flint. (The MC in the Prodigy). I'm really interested now to hear what you guys would think of Pendulum. Since they had a knack for beats and vocals even.

Y'all really gotta watch the official music video for this, it goes so well with the song. Cause without the visual, you don't really get the full picture of who The Prodigy is.

90s EDM had a lot of old school hip hop samples in it, especially Big Beat stuff which The Prodigy helped popularize. The song you guys said you heard before "Smack My Bitch Up" is a vocal sample from Ultramagnetic MCs "Give the Drummer Some". Some other big EDM and Big Beat artists from this era worth checking out are Fatboy Slim, the Chemical Brothers, and the Crystal Method

"No good" is their best song (in my opinion).. also Voodoo people, Break and enter, Breathe, Out of space, Charly, Poison are all worth a reaction 🔥

The Prodigy are among some of the most respected old(ish) mixers/samplers and did all of their work before people now who have crazy computer programs. They just listened to a lot of weird music and had ears to create this futuristic rave culture 90s sound of generation X. They were and still are incredible artists and performers. Great reaction too!

I loved Prodigy's Fat of the Land album so much, I owned two copies

The “hey hey hey” sample is from Art Of Noise - Close (to the Edit). So many people sampled it, I think they made more money from royalties on that sample than they did on the original song.

Man rocking this and Spitfire, Breathe and more while playing games on the computer was a blast in the 90's early 2000's. RIP Keith, you legend.

Mindfields is the track from the first Matrix. Also good one, a bit mellow but still with a lot of breakbeat energy.

This is one of the songs that helped keep my weight down back in my club days. Damn, you come off the floor after a set of songs from bands like Prodigy and you're just a nasty, glob of sweat. Best workout you can get.

YES!!!!! My husband and I played this CD to death when it came out; the other HOT song was “Smack My Bitch Up”. Yep, blasting with our 5 year old in the car. He’s 31 now and doin just fine 😂❤. You two should watch the official video for Firestarter; it’s great!

Finally some Prodigy. Hope u do more of it. They are so versatile - RIP Keith.

90s British electronic big beat/break beat music is untouchable. Crystal Method is the only ones that can ride with them

this entire album is an absolute GEM, released in 1997 and i STILL listen to it. next song by them you check out NEEDS to be breathe

Breathe and Funky Shit are good choices for the next reaction!

Liam Howlett, the DJ, is the prodigy behind The Prodigy. Find the Dirtchamber Sessions. It's 6 tracks from the DJ based off a set he did for the BBC. He drops everything musically in the album, and you never realized how closely all the sounds are related until he puts them all together..

R.I.P. Keith what a legend..he's the reason why a became a raver 30 years ago and still am today 🤟

Seen these guys live a few times. They were incredible. One of a kind techno mosh pits everywhere. This song was on the Playstation one game Wipeout's soundtrack. It blew them the f*ck up.

The Prodigy is a techno/ rave project by composer/ producer Liam Howlett in the 90's ... Howlett used two frontmen to handle vocals up front - Keith Flint (the white punk rocker) and Maxim (the black guy in dreads)... Maxim did the vocals on another Prodigy single - 'Breathe' w/ Keith Flint. 'Firestarter' was Keith Flint on vocals... Sadly, he took his own life in 2019.

Never have heard of ANYONE disliking this song before. First time ever.

The Prodigy, to me, is all about their first two albums The Experience and Music For The Jilted Generation. Top song picks: Out of Space, Fire, Their Law, Poison

Takes me back! Wow early 90s whizzing my nuts off 🙌 RIP Kieth 💙🙏

When it was announced that Keith Flint had died it tore a hole in my heart that I can only imagine it’s like losing a brother, I’ve spent 20 plus years listening to the prodigy and that day broke me

This had to be heard and seen. Some music videos are as iconic as the songs themselves.

As hip hop fans I would highly recommend that you check out Diesel Power from The Fat Of The Land album, also by The Prodigy. Edit; I would like to add Poison too. Music For The Jilted Generation is one of my favourite albums (of any genre) of all time and Poison is track that would fit in here, over any of the others. Their Law/VoodooPeople is also a good shout though. Break & Enter is my favourite though close second/tie for first being Poison.

This song reminds me of my highschool days 😅

The "Hey Hey Hey" is a sample from Art of Noise's "Close To The Edit" (also worth a listen) from early 80s.

Fat Of The Land is probably one of my favorite albums of all time. Has no skips.

"Breathe" is definitely a better choice

The Prodigy - Diesel Power

Love from 🇬🇧 I was lucky enough to see them few times and I danced to firestarter many nights long at the ra be parties all over Europe good times.

Songs like "Breathe", "Poison", and "Voodoo People" are also great songs by these guys.

Im 48 and still blasting the prodigy out of my viynl decks ..amazing British group 🇬🇧

Fat of the land is an absolute belter of an album... Also music for the jilted is probably one of the most influential early 'EDM' albums... Must listen, all of it.

Seeing these guys was probably my 2nd favorite concert experience, just so much intense energy at that show

R.I.P. Keith Flint Mental dancer and singer for the prodigy. Your antics are still missed my man 🤘🤯🤘

The Chemical Brothers were, in my opinion, one of the best to ever do Dance Music for everyone! 🤘🏾🖖🏿🖤👽

The repetition is its psychotic trance effect.

Great choice from Dean!💖 I love Prodigy! I was watching via Patreon but I missed the beginning of your show so I hopped over here. I like your reaction to this. Yes.... very rave like.😜

We need more prodigy reactions!

I was 14 when this record came out. Blew my mind. Still holds up. Top ten. Desert Island. Play list.

This song also featured in the video game Wipeout 2097 (Wipeout XL) on playstation 1, that's how I discovered The Prodigy as well as other electronic stuff, and it does fit so well with the futuristic racing mood! I used to be very focused on rock/metal but this game sold me on electronic music, and 25 years later, I can see how much of an impact it had on my musical tastes :) You may want to check out The day is my enemy, Spitfire, Nasty or Breathe!

This song rocks I always got on the dance floor for this song. I could listen to this song for hours.

Oh boy, you two have so many amazing tracks from The Prodigy to discover..

This song just bottles up anger and tension and shoots it directly in your ears 😂 Loved the reaction

One of the most legendary bands over here in the uk . Funny to see people in the US dont know them

I love listening to Prodigy,and `i've been lucky enough to see them play live a few times as well. I would recommend you check out some of their official music videos - they add so much more

I worked in a bar in the 90s when this came out. Big pool hall with a small attached room for live bands with is own little bar and tiny dance floor. Disco ball and all. We were cleaning up one night and the bartender with me was 7 months pregnant, shaved head, piercings, tattoo, wearing a khaki overall shorts thing with combat boots. This song came on the TV in that room and she went to tearing it up on that dance floor under the strobe lights. Most bad ass thing I have ever personally witnessed. This song will always be gold to me.

This entire album is lovely.

RIP Keith Flint

One of my favorites 😍

I’ve always been a fan of metal, stonerrock and grunge. Prodigy is the exception to that, they are phenomenal !!

Great reaction guys! Thanks for being open minded. The Prodigy was music perfectly designed for the club. In that environment, you didn't notice nor feel the passage of 5+ minutes (no matter what your 'poison' of choice) - you were groovin' (hopefully with a fine lady or gent) and wanting that to last forever! The only other place where I've had their tracks going was while driving. Again, where you don't really notice the passage of time. Sitting in your easy chair at home - The Prodigy is NOT for that! Highly recommend: Breathe (a little less repetitive, but just as awesome), and if you would indulge, Smack My B!tch Up is stellar!! Cheers.

This is one of those songs that the music video was perfect for

I grew up in Latvia and this song was at every party, club when it came out. Immensely popular.

Man, this takes me back. My sister put me onto this way back. Still burned into my memory.

Diesel Power from the same album featuring Kool Keith 💪 I think you'll like that one more

This song is part of the soundtrack for trainspotting

This is such a tune, loved that you guys hadn't heard it before and seeing you slowly vibe with the madness haha

The first time I heard this song back then they played live for MTV’s Fashionably Loud live televised modeling show. I immediately fell in love with it! 😍 I did like going to raves back then, but I was chilling watching tv the first time I saw it. I saw them play live at Ultra Music Fest in Miami and they were amazing live! They were some of the original techno coming out of the UK in the late 80’s and early 90’s. Their breakout hit was “Charlie”, also a good song but you can tell they refined their style more by Firestarter and the entire album The Fat of the Land.

You guys need to understand the backdrop to when this came about. Firstly this became Xmas number 1 in the UK, the video is awesome. This was a time when the UK was the hot bed of the world for music development, with electronica re-inventing and electing genre. The prodigy brought together the breakbeat of the the early 90’s with punk and heavy riffs, so many metal and thrash heads got into electronic music, industrial was at its peak, Trip hop via Portished and Massive Attack, Drum and Bass, with Grooverider and Goldie, Adam F, and all the variations of house.. then electronica with the likes of Orbital, FSOL and Aphex Twin, not to mention. Banco de Gaia, System 7.. psachdelic with Ozric Tentacle’s… gosh us UK children of the 90’s were so spoiled for class music . For those that were there , if you know you know.

Finally some classic EDM. You made my day.

RIP Keith Flint (singer) he was originally the band's hype man. He got the crowd excited before their shows so he was metaphorically a fire starter.

I really like it when you connect artists and styles like you did with Cry, D-Nice, and Rakim. I love seeing those threads across genres and time.

If you're running or working out and just need to get hyped up, this is the shit. Def hard to be sitting and listening to this, haha.

You're dead on with the old school hip hop stuff. They've got a collab with Kool Keith that sounds like the late 80's at 2x speed

Seen them live very early 90s before they got massive. Still astounding. RIP kieth flint

Ahhhhh back in the day Raving to this in DC was so hot!!!

Yeah!!! Minerva from Deftones pls

Sepultura did a bitchin' cover of this song.

One of my favorite album covers!! Love the motion crab photo!! This song takes me back my Navy 6 month deployment in 1997 onboard the USS ASHLAND-48 🦀🦑⚓️

Maaaaaaan listening to a track of the fat of the Land always brings back memories

The thing about a track like this is it's of a time. As time moves on music moves on so what is groundbreaking at the time becomes overtaken by next level. I remember the first thrash metal track i heard, Battery, by Metallica being super groundbreaking for me for power and speed and just being something completely new. This track is off the Prodigy 3rd album and really was different from all other dance / indie / techno of the time, and had vibe where it was across genre appeal. Techno heads liked it, a lot of rockers, indie and punk types liked it, same with the rest of the singles from this album, i'd say Breathe took it to another level and killer video.

If you want a trip, there’s nothing like their early hit Out Of Space

First time I saw Prodigy was at Four Aces club in Hackney... 91... Your Love... ❤ Eveeybody in the Place (Video filmed in NYC) ❤Outer Space.... We all did the Prodigy shuffle 😂... Leeroy & Keith 🔥 r.i.p Keith...Thank you ❤ Britcore/Breakbeat Hardcore/Darkcore

Their concerts where the bomb. You had Punks and Metalheads in the front forming moshpits and Technoheads and HipHopper in the back dancing.

First off rest easy to Keith Flint!!!!!!!! Second the album this come from is hella dope. I'll never forget when MTV banned the video smack by bitch up from them. Saw it once lol and that was it. Keith's energy was a whole different vibe if you were ever lucky enough to have seen them live!!!!!! It's hard to listen to this and NOT get pumped 🤘🏻🤘🏻

I think album "Invaders must die" from 2008 is their best work, every track on this is from good to great!

Omen... Live from Milton Keynes bowl is unreal... The prodigy live are superb 👍

I think for you boys, The Poison is next. Nasty groove off what i believe is the most important electonic record of all time, Music for thr Jilted Generation.

Would love to see you guys react to "Poison" or "No Good" by The Prodigy. Awesome tracks.

🤣 if it was not from my raver days, I don't know if I'd like it as much as I do but I do still love this song

Been a huge Prodigy fan for more than 30 years.

The video for this song is wild 😁🇬🇧 R.I.P. Keith Flint 💔

Definitely a song that's hard to just sit down and listen to. It's more about the mood and the energy it gives off.

You have to go listen to Spitfire off their later album Always Outnumbered Never Outgunned. Absolute banger

Hearing the initial sound I am immediately warped back to the 90ies when mr. DJ dropped this bombshell without any warning and everybody was completely freaking out ... whereas on the long run Narayan and Diesel Power turned out to be my favourites

This topped the UK charts and several others in 1996. Still sounds fresh.

this might not have been the best prodigy song to start out with but it grows on ya

i would recommend Omen. its just over 3 minutes

I’m going to watch this later. But I’m going to go ahead and hit that like button.

Saw these live in the 90's, epic!

Curious how you guys will react to this one. Probably not the best, but LOVE The Fat of The Land album- such a banger! Next should be Breathe, Smack My Bitch Up, Diesel Power, Funky Shit, etc. P.s. I'm not normally an electronic music guy, but there are a few album I gravitated towards a few in the 90s.

I don't know if Ye was influenced directly by these guys, but yeah Yeezus for sure had a lot of (abrasive) electronic sounds that you'll also find throughout The Prodigy's music. Also yeah, that type of drum pattern is pretty common in that typical 90s music, specifically the breakbeat genre and like drum and bass/jungle. The drum pattern is called the "amen break" (even though in this song it wasn't exactly that) and it's been the foundation of manyyyyy hiphop joints too

Voodoo people! Man, I loved Prodigy. This song was on the video game Wipeout XL. I loved it so much that I bought the albums.

Saw these guys at Endfest '96. I think they closed out the night. They were SO much fun!! Massive dance party - everyone was encouraged to do their own thing and nobody cared about how silly they may have looked. Just dance and enjoy the music. It was a very freeing moment in my life. 🤘🏼
