10 iconic The Prodigy moments
'Fat Of The Land' is 20
'Music For The Jilted Generation' hitting number one
Second album, first number one. 'Music For The Jilted Generation', released by XL Recordings in '94, got the top album spot in the UK and ended up selling 600,000 copies which deemed it certified platinum. Liam Howlett later said he regretted the choice of album title (referring to the British rave scene becoming corrupt and the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994). He also claimed it was never meant to be political, but with a track sampling speech saying "fuck 'em and their law", that's quite hard to believe. Either way, it contained a whole host of tripped out frenzies including 'One Love' and 'Voodoo People'.
