Well i know its hard to imagine BUT before the essex bad boys hit the scene what were you guys listenin to? QUESTION!

Me personally, i was 11 and listenin to any pirate radio rave station!!

I didn't listening nothing because I had not born

why don't you just ask what people listened to in the 80s instead?

i certainly wasn't listening to anything, with the exception of maybe... old mcdonald had a farm, i was 1 when what evil lurks came out.

I used hang out with a bunch of heavy metal dicks and they were always listening to full death metal shit where da singer does his best devil voice inpersonation. Man I was so bored off hearing that shit. It wasn't until the I discovered The Prodigy did my musical taste start to develop.

i was listenin sth like run dmc, i didnt had my fav band

i was listening to aerosmith

pearl jam

Nothing. I think that I was just a pea then.

Dad`s Pink Floyd, Led Zepp, and the ilk
then Electro be bop don`t stop
then beastie boys
then NWA
then black sabbath
then some other devil worshipping stuff
then heavy metal (not devil worshipping stuff)
then rave
then prodigy
then some stuff akin to prodigy but not quite there yet
then trip hop
then some more prodigy
then did it all over again

hmm.. interesting topic..
I discoverd The Prodigy at 1995, when I was 11 years old, and all days I started to listen songs like No Good and Voodoo People..

and before that I was interested little bit at Roxette and Queen

technotronic, 2unlimited...and others in the euro dance genre...that was basically the only thing I listened to, then I heard prodigy in 92 and it opened my mind

Prodigy totally changed my musical tastes. Before I got into them I was pretty much strictly into Rock/Alt. Early 90's bands like Soundgarden, Nirvana, I Mother Earth, The Tea Party, Stone Temple Pilots, etc. Also listened to tons of classic rock Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix, The Who, CCR, Rolling Stones, AC/DC, etc. Led Zeppelin was by far my favourite band until Prodigy supplanted them. Now I don't listen to very much rock, mostly Electronic, D&B, and Hip Hop.

I heard no good, poison, breathe, and smack my bitch up when they first got out years ago, but i didnt really get into prodigy and explored it before somewhere around 2000 (and when i joined the forums in early 2004).
Before (and still) i listened to lots of different types of trance and techno. Now i also listen to DnB and other breakbeat genres, that i didnt know much of before. Im very strictly an electronic music lover. Rock never did it for me

Michael Jackson, then 2 unlimited and all the other 90's dance act phenomenons :D Techno and dance all the way...

Then came voodoo people in 94.......and I've been hexed ever since

In the end of the 80´s up to the beginning of the 90´s only state of the art pop music and dance music [Rick Astley, S-Express, Talking Heads, Kylie Minogue, Pet Shop Boys, Milli Vanilli, Snap, Technotronic, etc] and some oldies during that time [Beatles i.e.]

I ever hated the music of the beginning of the 80´s - especially the german "NDW" = Neue Deutsche Welle [Nena, Peter Heppner, etc.]


I hated the music here in the beginning of the 90´s wich was called Euro-Dance [Culture Beat, DJ Bobo, Blümchen], but there were some techno-productions I liked and I´m disgracing myself today [Technohead, Dune, First Scooter Stuff]

Else i liked: Michael Jackson, then 2 unlimited and then similar came "Everybody In The Place" in ´92 .......and I've been hexed ever since

Today I also listening to everything I like, this could be every music direction, but prodigy is and will ever be my fav...
