Music for the Jilted Generation
From Free net encyclopedia
Template:Album infobox Music for the Jilted Generation is an album by hard dance/rave act The Prodigy. The album was released through XL Recordings in July 1994. It is largely a response to the corruption of the rave scene in England by its mainstream status as well as Great Britain's "Criminal Justice and Public Order act of 1994 [that] had effectively criminalised raves, rave culture, and by implication, rave music itself".
The album was voted the 62nd greatest of all time by Q readers in early 1998.
