You do realize that originally Trainspotting was set to an entirely all Underworld score & soundtrack, and it was the band that recommended to the producers to expand the soundtrack.
Also, without the people that were brought to the scene by Born Slippy, Prodigy would have likely stayed the England-only phenomenon as it was only after Born Slippy that people even listened to Firestarter which paved the way for the widespread success of Smack My Bitch Up. Not to mention Breathe. Naturally they were all released over here on the same album, but Firestarter was a single for them a year prior to the release of Fat of the Land.
Also, in terms of early edm Rez/Cowgirl provided the groundwork in the late 80's to establish the genre as something beyond acid house and Madchester. In terms of a legacy Underwold has done more for the whole genre than Prodigy overall. Now I'm not knocking Prodigy as I have owned all their albums & singles in order as they were released over the years & Music for the Jilted Generation is still something to behold, but in terms of the paramters layed out in the poll this is all a non factor lol.
Bottom line, watch a dancefloor go nuts to Born Slippy and tell me it's not "teh monstar" lol.
