Random Classics:The 1997 MTV Video Music Awards and when America started to notice Electronic Dance Music

While we were all exposed to the incredible "Smack My Bitch Up" music video,this was my first, and I'm sure to many others the first time seeing Prodigy perform LIVE. Never had a pure Electronic band been featured on MTV's biggest stage. Brings back memories of when MTV was actually groundbreaking and wasn't scared to challenge the norm once in a while in music. Madonna introducing them was a sign of acceptance and for America to say , holy shit these guys are crazy, this is heavy metal on cocaine, this might be the coolest song I've ever heard in my entire life,I'm buying their fuckn CD tommorow at SPECS....ok that's what I said, but as the album reached #1 in the USA Charts, it looks like they started a whole new Dance Revolution, and as a High School freshman at the time in a hip-hop neighborhood, it cemented my new identity,and soon many others at my school caught on and "breathed with me".
