I think people confuse Prodigy with being a highly original band and hate on them accordingly. It's music to jump around to that sticks to a template because it works. Nothing wrong with that. Many bands have been doing it for years. Prodigy are a big, brash band that you jump around to or work out too. They have never puported to be anything else. Live they blow the ass off 80% of bands out there.

a dont go out my way to listen to them, but if i have a few of there songs in itunes

Yeah I listen to them from time to time but I haven't listened to any one of their albums from beginning to end. I only pick out certain tracks.

I wouldn't say they were genius but they are decent.

I am sure they are great to jump around like an idiot to, but I guess I'd look kinda daft in my living room with my headphones, which where / hpw I do most of my music listening...

Started off well and then got worse and worse. The first and second album era was pretty good, then the third album was okay, the fourth was pretty bad, and now they've come back with an album full of tiresome pish.

I wasn't expecting much from it, but it managed to be more awful than I could have imagined. How can Liam Howlett go from the 12" mix of One Love to something like Omen or Warrior's Dance?

I think their one of the best dance bands to actually grace our ears (apart from the firestarter) I also think they kick butt out of the club dance scene which is too girly and commercial these days. Bring back the old skool and have a good time again

I love them. New album is great.

Can't stand them. They strike me as Dance music's equivalent of Oasis.
