The 2009 EGGIES...Day 11

Fittingly, the winner of the eleventh award goes to a band who have always been proud to be loud. Maximum volume for them has never been 10.

BEST DANCE/URBAN ACT: THE PRODIGY



In 2009, Liam Howlett and co. found their mojo again. True, Invaders Must Die was no Fat Of The Land, that would be too much to ask for. But more importantly, it was no Baby's Got A Temper, the wretched one-off single from the early 00's that nearly did for them. Some dozen years after their epochal apex, when they would drive the industrial dance music genre forward in exhilarating ways rather than follow it, The Prodigy finally made another decent album. Phew.
