no firestarter in the list so I'd voted for EITP even if I love SMBU, EITP always make me smile and dance yeah oldskool style 8-)

Thankfully nowhere near this list.


But I love Omen, it's one of their best tracks!...


Omen is UBER shit, it's more pop track than dance!

SMBU no 1
Voodoo in top 5
Breathe in top 10
No Good in top 20


While I can understand the hate, I just love Omen, it's catchy, has great beats, great synths, and Keith and Maxim's vocals. When I saw it live it was possibly the best track, it works brilliantly and has real energy, gets the crowd pumping. Maybe some hardcore fans don't like it because a lot of casuals like it, I don't know? I think I'm quite a hardcore Prodigy fan myself, and I love it. The track really is Prodigy to me, it has so many Prodigy elements in one package. My favourite version is the Extended Mix, but all versions are good IMO...


No hate, but it's terrible prodigy tracks if you ask me.

I can say that beats are good, but synts are awful (expect one which sounds like good Justice/Daft Punk). Beat 55 samples are nice but they reminds me that Liam destroy great beta track because of omen. Vocals sounds popish and gay, keith's "now" sounds like overrun cat, and lyrics are totally stupid... now omen now omen now omen end. Extended mix have less stupid tweaky sounds and it's little bit better. Track works live but almost all other are better. DIOYY influence is there too (baaahhh), video is also cheap and crap... Loooots of bad stuff. I can't list this one even in prodigy's top 20... or maybe 50!

wow, this much hate for Omen...

it's not their best, but its a beast of a track... especially live

Omen is like IMD's Breathe in my opinion

though I love Breathe more.

Everyone likes different tracks, not the place to discuss that here.

This list is about classic dance tracks and SMBU is probably prodigy's most notable and successful track.

They're not going to fill up the list with tons of prodigy tracks.

No hate, I just say that track is very bad.


If you talking about hate, then I need to talk about RWTW for exaple. Second worst Prodigy track ever if you ask me. Fuck you Dave Ghrol, I wish this one was never released.

And worst is that one with Twista on AONO. Jesus Christ Liam!

Since we're all just spreading shit around, I'll contribute. I think Breathe is a fucking amazing track. I dont necessarily listen to it every day but the composition of that track is insane. SMBU fits into that category as well.

Totally agree with this.

As for people that dislike it, well I guess different people like different tracks, but I really don't think it's a bad track even then...

I'm not keen on the album version of RWTW but i think it kicks arse live. Its so fierce live and the energy that it pumps is wicked.

Omen i like but i i guess for some fans its to mainstream but again i think it kicks live which essentially is what it was written for.

what???

on the contrary... Run is savage! a bit lazy i admit, but on the other hand as said by liam it was finished in the last minute and therefore not overpolished. a banger is what it is

get up get off is dope. i remember hearing it in a club next to all the cheeky usual shit and it was so heavy.. if you hate a prodge track dont compare it to prodge tracks. and what has jesus christ to do with this? get up get off is liam all over it. hip hop and heavy beats

but its opinions, i know

im highly jealous about your country then! anywhere i go in hungary, any disco, pub or any fucking thing i always ask the dj if he/she could drop in any prodigy tune and the answers are changing between:
no way
impossible
you better ask some more popular song
and my favourite:
haha!
