Stereo MCs were good,
Shamen too
Prodigy? I know they have just release a mediocre album always outnumbered never out gunned? That seems to be doing ok here, not sure about their earlier stuff here though.

I can't remember the name of their incarnation when they performed on TOTP with an icecream van on stage and dressed as ice cream cones. Classic!!
I also recorded their infamous anti-art moment of burning the million Pounds.
