The Prodigy are an English electronic dance music band formed in Braintree in 1990 by producer, keyboardist, and songwriter Liam Howlett. The band also featured MC and lead vocalist Maxim, dancer and occasional live keyboardist Leeroy Thornhill, and dancer and occasional vocalist Keith Flint. They are considered pioneers in breakbeat-led genres such as breaks, breakbeat hardcore, and big beat. The band emerged from the underground rave scene and gained early success in 1991 with the singles 'Charly' and 'Everybody in the Place', which reached the UK top five. Their debut album, Experience, was released in 1992. Their second album, Music for the Jilted Generation, came out in 1994 and incorporated techno and breakbeat influences. Their third studio album, The Fat of the Land, was released in 1997 and achieved both commercial and critical success. AllMusic described The Prodigy as "the premiere dance act for the alternative masses" and "the Godfathers of Rave." They are regarded as influential in the development of electronic punk and various breakbeat genres.
