Read an article about them in The Guardian this weekend and they have been around for years and everyone else in the world is aware of them and their music apart from me! And possibly my mum.

I'm a gimmer, yes?

Surely you've heard 'Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger'?!

Cheers, OP.

If you've had a radio on at any point in the past 10 years, you'll almost certainly have heard some of their stuff, but that's not the same as identifying and labelling it!

Try looking on YouTube or wherever for "Harder Better Faster Stronger" or "Around the World", they'll probably sound familiar Grin

Ahh I love Daft Punk and I love this single. A summer anthem 2013 methinks!

I'm very excited that Nile Rogers has collaborated on most of this new album. It'll be an homage to disco (I'm hoping)!

I saw Nile live in 2011 at a 'Chic' night at The Warehouse Project in Manchester and felt extremely privileged. He's such a class musician.

You can't be 'unreasonable' for not having heard of something. You might be 'uninformed'.

No, you can be unreasonable for not having basic cultural references imvho Grin.

YABVU but mainly just because I love the latest song, as others have said you will probably have heard their stuff.

I just watched One More Time on YouTube and gave up after 2 minutes, but yes I had heard it before.

Is it because I am too old for the dance scene? I was 31 in 1993.

I was more a punk/Elvis Costello kind of girl.

YABU and you should be ashamed of your self. How old are you? I am 42 and know they have been around for years. And I can't wait to buy their new album because I am hip innit

ah yes too old for the dance scene perhaps. I was 22 in 1993 and still love dance. Although I also fully embraced punk and psychobilly. And maud yes one half did 'music with you' yonks ago. About 15 years? Jeysus

Dance music has never been my bag (daddio) but I've always liked Daft Punk.

Think it's because they're stuff is always quite melodic
