Hotride is the worst. Omen is brilliant, it's classic, it's fresh, catchy and amazing. Better than Firestarter, and yes it does belong in that list. Definately it does, no ifs or buts saying it's not good, it is fucking good full stop!.

Definitely! It sounds totally GAY just like most of todays electronic music.


And your friends like it becaues it's most commercial track prodigy ever made.

i call it overrated because people seem to like it even though it sucks and is based on worst melodies ever, it only has bangin beat - it's not enough to call song 'good'. 'omen' sounds just like liam's poor try to imitate tfotl and it's the only track i almost always skip on imd.

that most of people i know dont like prodigy but they know omen and find it awesome only because its bangin and they can rock to to it when they are drunk

Quote:
And lastly, you can't understand why they like it?


i understand why someone can like it - i do like some bad tracks too - but it's doesn't change fact that its the worst prodigy single ever and probaly one of the most irritating songe i've ever heard (and i've heard a lot of them in my life)

Quote:
I actually thought that by now, people would have figured out that everyone has a different taste and that its all subjective whether somethings 'good' or 'bad'.. apparently some still haven't.. and that in the 21st century, wow.


i do get it, for example i dont like david bowie but he's great singer and composer and i do totally understand why some people are crazy about him. i just haven't thought that omen can be one of most requested prodigy tracks. thry have written so many great singles over 20 years, but people decided to include the worst of them and it's unpleasant surprise for me.



I agree with Kubazz. Omen is too overrated and sounds more like a cheap vouge-song than a real prodigy tune.
Beside, seeing that in the top 1000 songs... ahhhh no. They have far better songs than that. And you can tell me "it's taste and all" but then consider it as my taste. Beside, even if I try and put away my taste and just look over their songs, I still say they have a lot of tracks that are way more exacting.

And as my opinion about the five tracks on this top 1000 songs of all time: well, poor... but it was expectable that if there'll be a book like this breathe, firestarter and smbu will be in it. that's the typical: do you know prodigy? ah yeah they had a the clip where a crocodile was in the bed and cockies in the bath!
So at all, I wouldn't say these five tunes are well selected, but i can understand why they are on the list. I simply disagree it because Im a fan and i know prodigy and their works better than average people who just hear some of their tracks on radio/tv.

I totally disagree. When one love came out it was so fresh and nothing like we've ever heard before. It also had the new - at the time - Prodigy sound all over it. Don't get me wrong, I still wouldn't put it on the top 5. Omen is indeed a bad choice. Nuff said.

One Love is a classic tune!

At that point of the bands history, well more Liam's history! The scene at the time was dissing Liam and the boys saying he had sold them out when they blew up in to the mainstream!

Liam went away and wrote the masterpiece and started dropping tunes out on White Labels and all the haters where going nuts to tunes like One Love without knowing it was Liam's work! A hjuge middle finger up to the haters.

As Liam has said, the scenen was dying anyway so if they killed it then so be. That's why MFTJG is such a masterpiece! Liam took elements of rave and crossed it over with much more havy & rockier beats.

One Love is a pivitol part of the Prodigy's history! As is Omen but for a different generation of fans.

Fans are always gonna disagree on what tuens work for them musically and that's fine at the end of the day. There are tunes on each album that i prefer more than others but for me i always seem to go back to the tunes i'm not keen on at a later point and find i get something different out of them that helps me appreciate it from a different perspective.

Guys.... I think you misunderstood the whole thing..

As far as I understand these songs were not chosen by anyone. They are merely the 'most requested' i.e. it has no bearing what so ever if they are any good or not. Something like lady gaga or some other jock strap will be at the top.

On the subject of Omen? It's the song that put the Prodigy back on the map, they threatened to fade away after the pretty unsuccessful AONO (in a commercial sense). Ok Their Law was an eye opener, but Omen was the tune that got the general publics interest in them again. They knew what they were doing when they released it....

So does it deserve to be in the top tier of prodigy tunes? That's for you to decide! But like it or not it's the one song that defined this era.

I’m quite happy for Poison & Omen. 8-)

BTW - For me, especially live, Omen is banging.

Your right my sir

They are singles, and radio stations play singles 90% of the time.

Some people dont understand that theyre singles, you will never ever see 'Rhythm Of Life' or 'Thunder' on these radio stations lists.

Regardless if they got better songs that deserve to be on the list, but thats their policy in choosing tracks. THEY ONLY CHOOSE SINGLES.

So stop moaning :twisted:
