Of two electronic music groups, The Prodigy or Front 242, which group gained popularity earlier?
The Prodigy The Prodigy are an English electronic music group from Braintree, Essex, formed in 1990 by keyboardist and songwriter Liam Howlett. The first line-up of the band also included Maxim (MC and vocalist), Keith Flint (dancer and vocalist), Leeroy Thornhill (dancer and live keyboardist), and female dancer and vocalist Sharky. Along with The Chemical Brothers, Fatboy Slim, and other acts, The Prodigy have been credited as pioneers of the big beat genre, which achieved mainstream popularity in the 1990s. Their style ranges from rave, hardcore techno, electro-industrial, jungle and breakbeat and big beat, adding punk vocal elements in later works.
Daft Punk Bangalter and Homem-Christo were originally briefly in an indie rock band named Darlin'. When the group disbanded, it left the two to experiment musically with drum machines and synthesisers. The duo released their debut studio album "Homework" through Virgin Records in 1997 to highly positive reviews. The duo's next album "Discovery" (2001) was even more successful, driven by the release of the hit singles "One More Time", "Digital Love" and "Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger". In March 2005, the duo released their third album "Human After All" to mixed reviews. However, the singles "Robot Rock" and "Technologic" achieved considerable success in the United Kingdom.
