I really like some underworld. They're kind of pick and mix for me though.
I only have two of their albums though. dubnobasswithmyheadman and their latest, Oblivion with Bells. dubnobasswithmyheadman is mostly just very good IMO, although one or two tracks isn't so up to standard. And Oblivion with Bells is more pick and mix, not as good as dubnobassiwthmyheadman IMO, but with one or two very nice tracks. Beautiful Burnout is very nice, as is Best Mamgu ever, and like one or maybe two more. I think they can sound very good but I just wish they were more consistent, and then on the other hand I also think they lack the variety of sound that Orbital have. They tend to have a certain style (as I said, they can sound very good though).
RATM, they can do some killer riffs and my bro likes them quite a bit, but they're not for me. Prodigy, I think firestarter is cool but overrated, and I think my favourite song by them is perhaps Breathe or maybe Smack my Bitch up...I'm not that bothered about them. This is all personal taste and opinion of course and I'm not slagging them or RATM off...and as I said I like a lot of Underworld. They may even be my 2nd favourite electronic band to Orbital. My 2nd favourite band altogether I think is actually Muse atm. Nothing comes even light-years near Orbital in my own personal opinion, my personal taste. I've never known anything like them.
