MTV UK was running a poll where us the fans get to vote for the Greatest MTV Superstars. As soon as I heard about this, I knew The Prodigy would make it. MTV Fans and The Prodigy are like what Honey is for the Bee… LOL. I also expected The Prodigy to make atleast the Top 10 out of 60. Well the voting is over and the results are in!

MTV’s Greatest Superstar
1981: The year that saw the demise of Punk, the birth of New Romanticism, the rise of the CD, the death of Bob Marley, and John Lennon’s message for “the world to live as one” top the charts world-wide with the posthumously-released classic, Imagine.
It was also the year a new musical revolution rocked the planet – THE LAUNCH OF MTV.
From the moment Buggles’ Video Killed the Radio Star ushered in the world’s first dedicated music channel, nothing would be the same again.
New musical superstars such as Madonna and Def Leppard were introduced and MTV would go on to single-handedly help create and break entire movements like 80s hair metal, hip-hop, grunge, nu-metal and Britpop to name but a few.
We asked you to vote for your picks for the title and you responded in your thousands!
