I didn't much like the Prodge's version, but damn I love both the Cosmic Psychos and the L7 versions.

The Fat of the Land is brilliant and I will brook no argument. Honestly Experience felt pretty patchy to me for a very long time, if only because I rather liked the singles better.

I love the idea of treating Geir's opinion on The Prodigy as definitive.

I never bought The Fat Of The Love (loved the first two singles to death but had lost interest by the time the album appeared) but every time I've heard tracks from it I'm surprised at how little it sucks (I think I bought the mythology of its suckitude wholesale).

Howlett should have gone in more of a technoid direction I reckon, like, he should have returned the favour of the Prodge homage on Orbital's "Know Where To Run". Or maybe that's what Jilted was? Only before time?

the first interview i ever read with them was in select, just after 'jilted'. i was quite shocked to find howlett wuvved RHCP. an omen.

i probably didn't give 'FOTL' a fair hearing, but by then it just felt out of step (as stevem says, two years late), and i'd just seen them at glasto when it dropped, and they SUCKED live.

FOTL is not a bad album if you don't play Firestarter, and convince yourself that you've never seen Keith Flint. Similarly, Narayan is a good track if you can forget who Crispian Mills was.

Experience is absolutely fucking brilliant for the first five tracks or so, but tails off after that.

I will continue saying it, like I'm in Twelve Angry Men, but "Light My Fire" is the best thing on that album.

The Fat Of The Love

That is a brilliant error.

'protection'?

it's definitely not the worst track.

Okay, what on Protection could POSSIBLY be worse than "Light My Fire"????
