The Prodigy Songs Ranked

The Prodigy is an English electronic dance music band from Braintree, Essex, formed in 1990 by keyboardist and songwriter Liam Howlett. The band’s line-up has included MC and vocalist Maxim, dancer and vocalist Keith Flint (until his death in March 2019), dancer and live keyboardist Leeroy Thornhill (who left to pursue a solo career in 1999), and dancer and vocalist Sharky (1990–1991). Along with the Chemical Brothers and Fatboy Slim, The Prodigy is credited as the pioneer of the breakbeat-influenced genre big beat, which achieved mainstream popularity in the 1990s. Howlett’s rock-inspired drum rhythms infused with electronic rave music beats/breaks were combined with Maxim’s omnipresent mystique, Thornhill’s shuffle dancing style, and Flint’s modern punk appearance. Here are all of The Prodigy’s songs ranked.

20. Poison (Music for the Jilted Generation, 1994)

“It’s incredible! That’s the old prodigy and the best song with Narayan… It makes me completely in the beat and feel crazy.”

19. Spitfire (Always Outnumbered, Never Outgunned, 2004)

“Spitfire is just plain wicked bad and perfect for getting into a killer state of mind for destroying people at the poker tables!”

18. Thunder (Invaders Must Die, 2009)

“He hears thunder but there’s no rain, this kind of thunder breaks walls and window panes, He is talking about gun shots, gun shots make a sound that could be mistaken for thunder and the projectiles of a gun break walls and window panes.”

17. Fire (Fire, 1992)

“Another great Prodigy Single. Both Jericho and Fire are memorable songs. Just the Sunrise Version is better in my opinion than the original and the Jericho Remix feels like it hangs at times.”

16. 3 Kilos (Music for the Jilted Generation, 1994)

“Impossible to overstate the degree to which this album is underrated. This track is absolutely breathtaking… This album is one of the greatest achievements in music for me. Every single track is great.”

15. Baby’s Got a Temper (Baby’s Got a Temper, 2002)

“This song’s not as bad as Liam later said it was. It’s a fun little _Fat Of The Land_ sounding track. Then again, it’s probably not the direction the Prodigy should be going in, but it’s better than some of the stuff from the album that came after.”

14. Funky S*** (The Fat of the Land, 1997)

“The tempo, baseline, beat, and everything is awesome! Kinda obvious where Skrillex got the OMG influence from. Still, this one song manages to be enjoyable enough even if it only has a decent to good beat.”

13. Stand Up (Invaders Must Die, 2009)

“Purely amazing. I’m surprised this isn’t one of the top ones. The tune is amazing, and possibly one of the most well known in the world, but doesn’t have much commercialism. “

12. Mindfields (The Fat of the Land, 1997)

“Good beat, but perhaps not enough for a single. Still makes for a pretty enjoyable listen. The Prodigy has a lot of great songs, but this one is special. Love it.”

11. Warrior’s Dance (Invaders Must Die, 2009)

“I just love it. It makes me dance even when I’m lying in my bed. Sound even better when performed live (I.e. Rock am Ring 2011) in my humble opinion it should be much higher in this list, but with so many fantastic Prodigy tracks on it I’m cool with that by the way, the female vocal it’s a sample from an old school song TRUE FAITH – TAKE ME AWAY.”

10. Charly (Experience, 1992)

“Charly says always tell your mom before you go off somewhere” are the special words that described the 90’s rave scene. Charly is one of my favorite hardcore songs of all time. The rave beat is just remarkable. Pandemonium is another very well done track. The track Your Love is on par with Charly, I love the piano playing and beats.”

9. No Good (Start the Dance) (Music for the Jilted Generation, 1994)

“The best song off of “Music for the Jilted Generation” imo. This song just makes me want to dance, now if only I had a girl with me to dance with.”

8. Out of Space (Experience, 1992)

“Out of Space introduced me to oldskool rave and is still my favorite song of all time. Just the tune and rhythm are perfect in every way. The Out of Space Remix adds a different style to the original but still sounds great. The Ruff in the Jungle remix is also another magnificent song that adds a jungle style to the single with the help of out of space. Music Reach is another personal favorite prodigy song and hearing it live with maxim’s vocals in the background is interesting to hear.”

7. Take Me to the Hospital (Invaders Must Die, 2009)

“The original is just one part of the tapestry of failure that is Invaders Must Die, but both these mixes throw away most of the garbage and make what’s left into a pair of surprisingly good tracks.”

6. Voodoo People (Music for the Jilted Generation, 1994)

“This by far the most worked out track they ever made. The melodic harmony and the mood this brings you in really insane!”

5. Invaders Must Die (Invaders Must Die, 2009)

“Love it! It was this song that brought me to The Prodigy. I like them all but for for me, this has to be their best song. I always join in and lip sinc “Invaders Must Die” whilst doing the worst robot dance known to man. “

4. Smack My Bitch Up (The Fat of the Land, 1997)

“Best Prodigy track… The bass the beat the vocals its simply amazing, it’s a track that scream ‘I have benn made by Prodigy’ simply superb…”

3. Firestarter (100% Drum & Bass, 1996)

“Firestarter is the bomb bro! It has a very catchy tune with a great rhythm and beat it is by far my favorite prodigy song as it never gets old and is always fresh and can be related from”

2. Omen (Invaders Must Die, 2009)

“The prodigy is generally awesome but this is honestly one of the greatest songs of all time. The drums and bass feel like you are hit in the head with a baseball bat. The riff is badass. The screech of the synth rips your ear drum apart. Perfection”

1. Breathe (The Fat of the Land, 1997)

“Personally, for me their best song to date, because it incorporates what I liked about the Prodigy. They had a wacky and weird style that felt dark, and Breathe has aged well and shows it today..”
