So NME put together another top list. This time, the 100 best tracks of the nineties.

Somewhat disappointed that only one Prodigy track made the list. Also, usually in these types of lists, Firestarter seems to always make it. However it was actually No Good (Start the Dance) which made #33. In my opinion, Smack My Bitch Up should have been #1 ;)

Anyhow, this is what they had to say for The Prodigys No Good (Start the Dance) at #33:

Legend has it that Liam Howlett ummed-and-ahhed over his decision to release ‘No Good (Start The Dance’), fretting over whether the sample – a hyper, sped-up version of Kelly Charles’ vocal from her 80s hit ‘You’re No Good For Me’ – was too much like pop-froth. Thank heavens he went through with it, then, and birthed one of The Prodigy’s finest singles with its scuzzy euphoria and thumping bass.
