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.

No arguments there

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
