Again, as with Mark Hollis last week, I was totally in shock when I read this. The Prodigy were a big part of my musical tastes in the early 90s and sad to read he has gone aged just 49.
Although Liam Howlett is the musical brain behind Prodigy, Keith, along with the other 2 played a big part in making not only a great musical act, but just as importantly a massive live act and gave the Prodigy that something more than other rave acts of the time.
Sad news.
RIP Keith.

Not my musical cup of tea at all but The Prodigy were huge in the 90s. He was the same age as Mrs MIAS, no age at all to pass away.
RIP

Not really my thing however ‘Smack My B***h Up’ is a brilliant dance track and one of the all-time great music videos. You need to watch it if you’ve never seen it - NSFW, obviously.

Shocker!  Music For The Jilted Generation and Experience are brilliant albums!! Absolutely superb! Fat Of The Land was good (probably their most commercially successful album). Always Outnumbered, Never Outgunned was okay as was Invaders Must Die. Never heard their last two. Extremely sad news this. The Prodge were well good. Maybe they still are? RIP Keith. |

I’ve got all of their albums and back in 92 the clubs used to go mad whenever one of their tracks were played. I really enjoyed their latest album, although there are a few tracks that I’d skip.

Very shocked, but he called the shots deciding when it was time to go.
Off stage very connected with nature and the total opposite of the mad frontman you see on stage.
RIP Keith

Saw them back in 97. Fat of the Land was huge, with a broad appeal beyond the dance/rave scene. Amazing some of the people who knew and liked Fat of the land.

Shall have to give my copy of The Fat of the Land a spin in his memory. |

I can remember rushing to HMV during a tea break to buy the figherstarter single in the day it was released as I did with most of their gilted generation and fat of the land singles.
In fact, I was the first one amongst my mates to buy the gilted generation album, and I can remember playing it on my mate's car stereo, as we drove around with the windows open that evening
I remember seeing them as the headliners at V97, they were brilliant, but very scary on the giant screens!

Sad news, I thought their debut album was their best. He was only a year or so older than me.....

Well, in theory I was more into EMF, Blur, Primal Scream, The Shamen etc in that period, but I also bought the first two Prodigy albums. I liked them, and they remain evocative of their period. 'Charlie' was interesting, but by and large a typical rave record, but the immediacy of the single 'Everybody In The Place' got me and I was hooked. I didn't remember that Keith Flint was a member in that early period - he only began to stand out when he took on his grotesque appearance for the 'Firestarter' video, and became a prominent vocalist. Like Goldie and Bez, he was one of the semi-mythical characters of the time  For some reason, I didn't buy the third album upon release, though I did so much more recently. I can't believe he has died R.I.P. Keith Flint. |

He wasn’t such a key member , more of a dancer in the early days. a great tribute to him on 6 Music earlier. I think, with the exception of Marc Riley , and possibly Gideon Coe on Mon to Thurs evenings, 6 Music is at its best on a Sunday & Saturday morning , through to Liz Kershaw finishing at 3. i on the other subject,I was more of an indie man, back in the day - but did appreciate Prodigy, especially the first two albums, although in the era of their first album, I was more appreciative of KLF, circa 1991, than Prodigy. Still great though - Fat Of The Land was a real break through album, even though I was more into other stuff . |

Tom Robinson did a Now Playing show last night dedicated to Keith and what better way to remember the man than by pulling a few shapes in the kitchen to some of his music and other musical influences of his.
Excellent.
You could still be an indie kid and love The Prodigy, that was what made them great.
