I've been revisiting a bit of this stuff recently and have been drawing my own conclusions, which are below. I remember them saying at the time it was fake dance music for drunk indie loving students, of which in fairness I was one, but I reckon some of it is still good, man. PS the parentheses above are to avoid loads of anal "that wasn't big beat that was break beat" etc cobblers. Although I exclude completely Leftfield, Underworld, Prodigy, Fluke, DIV as they definitely weren't, although I love them.

Stuff that I thought was great at the time and still is:

Fatboy Slim - Better Living Through Chemistry (everything else no)
Chemical Brothers - first two albums
Freestylers - We Rock Hard
Propellerheads
Lionrock - everything is ace
Some Req stuff

Stuff I thought that was great at the time and isn't really at all:

Deejay Punk-Roc
Bentley Rhythm Ace
Wiseguys

Stuff I didn't like much then but has held up well now:

Lo-Fidelity Allstars - first album

Stuff I never really liked:

Monkey Mafia
Freq Nasty
Anything else not mentioned above I guess

Best single album:

The free NME Fatboy Slim mixtape OR the Chemical Beats compilation. Those rocked.
