The Prodigy are an English electronic dance music band formed in Braintree in 1990 by producer, keyboardist, and songwriter Liam Howlett. At their critical and commercial peak, the band also featured MC and lead vocalist Maxim, dancer and occasional live keyboardist Leeroy Thornhill, and dancer and occasional vocalist Keith Flint. AllMusic described The Prodigy as "the premiere dance act for the alternative masses" and "the Godfathers of Rave". They are considered to be pioneers in a number of breakbeat led musical genres including breaks, breakbeat hardcore and big beat. Liam Howlett describes their style as electronic punk. The band emerged during the underground rave scene and achieved early success in 1991 with their debut singles "Charly" and "Everybody in the Place", which reached the UK top five. After their debut album Experience (1992), the band moved from their rave roots and incorporated techno and breakbeat influences on their follow-up, the critically acclaimed Music for the Jilted Generation (1994). They reached their commercial and critical peak with their third studio album The Fat of the Land (1997), which went to No.
