Prodigy signs to madonna's label! That's what i just read in a recent NME or Melody Maker. Firestarter reached 99 in billboard chart. This is just such nonsense. This song is SO lousy! This keith guy should be SHOT. FURTHER proof that mainstream American has no taste and is willing to be told what to listen to courtesy of MTV! Who gave MTV all this control anyways? Don't get me wrong I like some of The Prodigy's work but the vocal version f this song is SO irritating! The INSTRUMENTAL version is a must though. Chilled...God C.P.U.

It doesn't surprise me that Prodigy made it on Billboard, because the track does SUCK. Nearly everything that is on the Billboard's chart sucks anyway. I never find anything good on the charts, just total shite. I think the Prodigy track appeals to a more superficial audience anyway than Idm people. It is a techno track for all those that don't know better.

I don't think the Prodigy track is any more annoying than the usual stuff Mtv plays. I think I would rather hear the Prodigy than lets say Rage Against the Machine or Gravity Kills. It all sucks in my opinion. William Samuels

All this anti keith stuff I've been seeing lately has got me thinking about one of my christmas presents: A chia head With a few paper clips and some scissors, I was able to make an amazing likeness of Keith. Its real easy to make. Wait until the hair grows(its the same color as keith's) out on the chia head, then cut a strip out right down the middle. Then take the paper clips(they make great ear/nose rings) out and stuff them a anywhere they'll fit.Voila instant keith :) and no I don't have way too much free time. ROB:)!!!

does any see the irony here? you guys lashing out at the prodge.... its like its Charly all over again... they regain underground respectablility and the throw it all away for a big deal with the Madonna's label? ...so what.... hey some of you dont have to LIVE over here where the prodge seem like soemthing different to 90% of people who listen to TV radio etc...its beats the hell out yet another Nirvanna wannabe... and before you start moaning about how you "Never" like the prodge in the first place or the second,.. SAVE IT.....and start dealing with a few bands hitting mainstream....geeez you guys are a bunch of whiners...why not start talking about whats right with IDM... I am on this list for ideas on what to buy , not tirads about which Channel,mag,radio station etc doesnt get it... like we should be so surprised about MTV...... Go ahead, I am wear fireproof undies.... flame away.... ian in winnpeg thats right winnipeg , where everyone listens to the Tragically Hip and CRash Dumb Testis
