At their critical and commercial peak, the band also featured MC and lead vocalist Maxim, dancer and occasional live keyboardist Leeroy Thornhill, and dancer and occasional vocalist Keith Flint. AllMusic described The Prodigy as "the premiere dance act for the alternative masses" and "the Godfathers of Rave". They are considered to be pioneers in a number of breakbeat led musical genres including breaks, breakbeat hardcore and big beat. Liam Howlett describes their style as electronic punk.
