DEATH OF THE PRODIGY SINGLES

maybe 'no good', maybe 'charly'.

'out of space' is the most epochal.

Breathe. Not sure why.

-- Scik Mouthy,

Same :/

breathe!

Breathe.

out of space.

I know this is my poll but I kind of want to choose all of them except for "Wind It Up (Rewound)" and "Spitfire".

i'll be surprised if anything from this decade gets a vote - even Girls.

id vote for 'you'll be under my wheels' if i could.

"Breathe," and I know why: "The Trick."

This poll is going to surprise me, isn't it.

I heard "Smack My Bitch Up" at SohoLounge the other night, but "Breathe" sounded absolutely amazing the last time I heard it, so it's dat one.

i am surprised by the 'breathe' love, by the 'fat of the land' love.

No love for "Poison"? I think that's my choice, although it's really difficult!

I am amazed that so many people love "Breathe" more than the other singles! (I am not surprised that so many people love "Breathe", it's a fucking awesome song.)

Predic: 0 votes for Firestarter.

I bet the Genaside II remix would have gotten votes.

"Voodoo People"

only heard it once like, but single version of 'spitfire' >>>> album version

re: poll, probably 'girls'. even tho 'out of space' is better.

or 'charly'.

fuck, this is difficult actually

"Voodoo People," though maybe I should've voted "Firestarter" if I was being completely honest with myself

no good

"Diesel Power" shoulda been a single.

lukas OTM

"Out of Space" - it's the most singley. I adore the track to "Smack My Bitch Up." Too bad they couldn't be saying "Snack My Chips Up" immediately before re-entry.

That Pendulum remix is vv good, but that would feel like a vote for Pendulum instead of the Prodigy.

I'm the obvious muhfuc who voted for "Firestarter". There, I said it and I'm not clicking back on this thread, so there's no use in berating me for it.

this band is a novelty act

"Out of Space" is the one for me alright. Still, I really wish I could vcte for "Poison," "Voodoo People," and "Breathe" as well.

I'll take the rave killer, I think.

All six of them???

Haha I meant "Charly".

Oooh too hard. I've got a few days to decide between:
- Out of Space
- No Good (Start the Dance)
- Voodoo People

For some reason "No Good (Start the Dance)" strikes me as being one of the best titles for a song ever.

it's a toss b/w "no good" and SMBU for me.

out of space, but this is an amazing list of singles

Smack My Bitch Up - just for the "controversy".

this is an amazing list of singles <--- otm

I got to admit I've not heard anything after 1996, but up until then it's def. amazing. Still hard to top the stuff that eventually became Experience (in one form or another) though.

That remix of "Wind It Up" is kind of awful, though.

I voted "Firestarter" and I don't care who knows it!

"Firestarter" is great, what is the problem?

In fact surely "Breathe" is the cornier choice, if that is what we're referring to - although I like both about equally.

'No Good (Start the Dance)' by a huuuuge margin. Whenever I put that song on, I end up listening to it on repeat at least 10 times.

The person who says "I voted for 'Hotride' and I don't care who knows it!" is taking a much braver stance IMO (ps I do like the song, it's just... well, THAT'S your favorite single by them, compared to everything else??? wau).

Alex In SF has never heard Firestarter or anything after??

I think I want to change my vote to 'No Good (Start the Dance)' or 'Out of Space'

Tough poll.

I'm also liking 'Poison' more than I remember liking it at the time.

I haven't heard anything after 1996 either.

I think I might vote for Voodoo People.

"Poison" is THE SHIT.

(I still voted for "One Love", tho)

Other utterly corny opinion time: I wish I hadn't heard anything after (or including) 1996. (Girls is fun enough I guess.)

I wd vote for all these Jilted singles, and probably all the Experience ones. Choices! Probably it ought to be Out Of Space but that feels like too obvious a choice somehow.

"Alex In SF has never heard Firestarter or anything after??"

Anything AFTER 1996!

I thought that "Spitfire" and "Hotride" were really odd singles choices.

...though "Break and Enter" is better than any of their singles

Tuomas OTM. I'm going for Everybody In The Place (the fairground version that was the big hit, definitely NOT the album version).

Was it really from 91? I know Charly was, but I remember EITP as being early 92.

EITP was released in December '91 in the UK but there was the original version (different to the one everyone knows) earlier that year also.

I thought that "Spitfire" and "Hotride" were really odd singles choices.

'The Way It Is' and 'You Will Be Under My Wheels' are the best tracks on the album but dunno if they would've worked better as singles. glad the Liam G one wasn't put out at least.

another vote for "poison"

out of space

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

I'm partial to Everybody in the Place........basssssssss.

WAIT I VOTED FOR ONE LOVE, WTF

Bit sad that no-one voted for What Evil Lurks - yes Out Of Space is better but Android is easily their second best track people!

justice has been served

"Spitfire" should have gotten more votes, the entirety of of "Always Outnumbered" is massively underrated

not really

YA RLY

no love for g-force pt. 1, what the FUCK

unless the 6 people who voted for EITP took that into consideration.

I voted for Everybody in the Place, thanks to the excellent b-sides. I love Poison's b-sides too, so that's a close second.

The video for Charly is awesome sort of proto paperrodddeo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XH7xdFUwAVY

I pretty much hate Music for the Jilted Generation on... but I like Girls ;O

I wish someone would release a dance album as seemingly underground and nasty as Music For A Jilted Generation. Somehow when I was about 14 and it came out, it sounded so volatile, scarey even but in a good way.

jon, the video is based on the government warning cartoon of the track's namesake which was always shown on Sunday morning children's TV from the 70s up until about the time the track started getting famous.

ONE LOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE
ONE LOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE

one love is too simple; I'm bored like 30 seconds in.

Have we done a HACKERS ost poll?

Voodoo People >>>>>>> One Love

Didn't see this, but "Out Of Space" winning ahead of "Out Of Time" seems just about right.

Hmm. Ahead of "Breathe", I mean (where'd I get that "Out Of Time" from?)

One Love is banging, especially the crazy didgeridoo-sounding bit.

"One Love" has their greatest ever video. And that's it.

Charley Says... public information animations for kids

No paperradesque ravey neon flashes and frenetic cut-ups or anything, but I did just cry laughing at the teapot incident. I don't remember them being this funny as a kid. So much for maturity.

One love is kinda crap.

Anyway, anyone know what the origin of the "meow" in Charley is?

haha, ok I just watched the videos and realized that the CAT is charley and it all makes sense

Missed this one, I've no idea what I would've voted for. Maybe Everybody in the Place.

I've realized, one of the reasons I love "One Love" so much is that metallic thump on beats 4 and 1

I'd repoll this with the Invaders Must Die singles but let's face it, no one is voting for any of them (even though "Omen", "Warrior's Dance" and "Take Me To The Hospital" are all great)

finally ripped all of my Prodigy shit and put it on my phone

tempted to poll b-sides but I'm pretty sure "Your Love" would stomp all over everything

Seemed an appropriate thread to bump just to note the oddness of seemingly all versions of 'Wind It Up' having been removed from Spotify including its listing on all Experience editions where it's not even just an unplayable track in faint text but completely gone from the tracklist.

very weird, especially since "your love" still starts with a "wind it up" vocal sample. spotify's "experience" is also missing "hyperspeed" and "charly"
