I've asked everyone i know in the last 3 days, if you had a choice, prodigy or blur.....

no-one said blur out of maybe 50/60 people

even my dad said prodigy

so im asking this question to nail it for me......

Seen blur twice and both times they were great. I have seen the prodigy 3 times and twice they were rubbish. The infamous storm of stage at Glastonbury then witnessed them pull the same stunt at Leeds.

I think many people will say the prodigy as they have just had a new album out and seem to be every where at the minute. The same cannot really be said for blur.

I am going to see blur.

[tazzyb]

My experience is that Prodigy are awesome indoors, but outdoors they just don't cut the mustard. Blur are fantastic outdoors and with coxon on board its a not to miss show.

[robith]

I have seen blur twice (albeit sans Coxon) and both times they were brilliant.

I have seen the Prodigy once. They were pretty crap.

[Detective McNulty]

I'm intending on Blur as it's more of a one off but i just know when i'm f**ked the mood will drag me to prodigy.

[Billy09]

Seen Prodigy twice, not seen Blur. Might get to see Prodigy again in the future, Blur less likely. Blur got upper hand at the moment, but I may well see neither. There's decisiveness.

[Monkismo]

Blur for me. Seen em both twice before and whilst they were both excellent both times I don't think Prodigy will be able to add anything new whereas Blur definitely will - Graham Coxon!! Plus, after 5 exhausting days I'd rather sing my heart out than dance like a loon on my last night.

Leisure was the album that got me into indie music and Jilted was the album that got me into dance music so its a very tough choice though.

[srvman]

think i should invest 40 quid and go and see prodigy down the beach the sunday before?

[markeee]

id like to see prodigy, but i havent seen either yet

Ive never seen Blur but ive seen The Prodigy a good few times and they really do get a crowd going. Ive seen them outdoors twice and indoors once and they are an act that can pull it of nicely both indoor and out. I must say though i didnt really think much of them at T last year, when i say that it wasnt really them but mainly because the crowd was filled with drug fiends searching for scraps but they f**king rocked it and i think them closing The Other Stage will be a pretty good way to end the weekend.

Saw The Prodigy at Witnness in 2002 or 2003 - they were really really awful.

[Monkismo]

and my experience is entirely the opposite

[mandypants]

I ADORE Prodigy, but I am going to see Blur. My reasoning being that I've never seen Blur and I might never see them again, I've seen Prodigy 3 times, going right back to Experience, and I'm seeing them at Leeds fest in August. Still gutted as they are my second favourite band ever*

*first is QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE

[llcoolphil]

and my experience is entirely the opposite

[jamseyboy]

Blur were always awesome live......a top notch band that expands the bigger the audience. Prodigy seem good at the smaller more intimate jumpabouts.

I seriously believe that blur will be one thats talked about for years to come....and will/ may not be repeated.....therefore on that basis it is Blur for me...and my tribe ( the kids play their greatest hits album as if it where made yesterday).

I saw Blur at Mile end and Prodigy in Essex, both mid nineties.

Blur were great, Prodigy was one of the best gigs I've ever been to so there's no competition. Sorry Blur.

[TaylorT]

Ive only seen prodigy once way back when and they were superb. I was having my doubts about finishing my fest at the other stage earlier in the thread, but shall trust the words of two people I genuinely think know the score

[Gladstone]

I'm a big fan of Prodigy's older stuff, but when I saw them at creamfields in 2006 I was really disappointed. I think I'll go and see Blur, I saw them headline in 98 and they were pretty good.

[Filthy]

I've loved Blur the 3 times I've seen them, indoors and outdoors. The prodge I saw at Reading 96 and was incredible but as much as I love their first 2 and a half albums I just think the Prodigy will be a let down. Even though I'm seeing Blur the week after I think I'll still see them on the Pyramid. My mind may completely change depending on my Sunday mood but I just think Blur have the capacity to give one of the great most memorable Pyramid perfomances

[chloesaurus]

I haven't seen either, but love Blur so I'll be seeing them. Not a Prodigy fan at all.
