#4Music for the Jilted Generation is one of the best electronic albums I've ever heard. Not sure how much Keith contributed to that particular album (at the time I think it was mainly Liam Howlett's project) but certainly Fat of the Land is a seminal electronic album as well, and Keith was a very visible part of that act.

#5> Flint's distinctive appearance, vocals and dancing made him one of the most recognizable figures on the British techno scene
> Keith Flint, singer on hits like ‘Firestarter’ for British electro-pop pioneers The Prodigy, has died aged 49
CNN shows again its ignorance, The Prodigy is not techno and not electro-pop.

eh, fighting about musical genre is like arguing tabs and spaces. I often call Prodigy "techno" to people who don't closely follow electronic music, as it gets the point across. And certainly you could make an argument that some of their music was "electro-pop" depending on how you define it, as it hit pop radio stations for a time, and was predominately electronic...

Shouldn't you be off correcting their Wikipedia entry, or something?

Pretty much all electronic is "techno" to people who are unfamiliar. Like metal, the genre is just too diverse to try and be specific for the average reader.

spent my early days locked up in my room learning C to this album. it's light on lyrics which makes it (for me) perfect for development work. later his music helped me stay motivated and push my personal limits when running. "Breathe" [1] was on my ipod when I crossed the finish line of my first marathon.
some years later I was lucky to see them live on their Omen tour ... incredible on stage performance.
so much of their music helped me get over things and stay on track. I respect his choice which is as good as any way to exit this fucking world. Still I'm devastated.
