To think Daft Punk have made some of the best music of the last 50 years

[velourvoyageur]

Daft Punk fan MNers, please come out of the woodwork!
It's like Kate Bush. I can't find anyone in real life who's into her, then she gives a concert and the tickets sell out in ten minutes....
Everyone knows Wuthering Heights, like everyone knows Get Lucky, but beyond that....

I think DP are better than the Beatles and I have a Beatles tattoo so don't say that lightly.
Anyone? favourite songs?

YANBU to think Daft Punk are great - they are!

YABVU to suggest they are better than THE BEATLES! For shame!

P.S what is your tattoo of?

Have you got the Simpsons on, velour?

I knew that might get some people incensed
but Ireally think it!
Before when I'd just heard Get Lucky and was studiously avoiding anything to do with them I'd have had the same reaction....maybe I've listened to the Beatles TOO much. if possible.

bit identifying but JL silhouette, penultimate album :)

ooh no, is there a DP themed Simpsons? youtube time if so :)

Yanbu. Lose yourself to dance and around the world are my favourites!

YANBU Daft Punk are fantastic. I think YAprobablyBU to say they're better than The Beatles, though!

I saw them in 2007 at Rock Ness. They were amazing.

YANBU - 'get lucky' was the song of 2013.

Love them.

aw, fans :) hello

I can't pick between High Life, Make Love or Teachers.

And I'm sitting on my hands to stop myself buying a t shirt with Technologic lyrics printed on it.

They are amazing, yes... but best music in 50 years? No. Not when compared to the Beatles, the Stones, Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Santana, Motown, etc.

One more time! Nuff said

I don't think you can compare those artists though. Completely different style of music. In terms of innovation, they must surely be on a par.

YANNNNNBU. Love Daft Punk.

Daft punk are ace definitely very influential and innovative.

Daft Punk are fab.

I wrote my PhD thesis to a soundtrack of very loud Daft Punk via headphones.

The downside of that is that every time I hear them now it makes me feel slightly sick and under-slept .

I love daft punk. Around the world is probably my favourite.

Oooh I love DP. Hello fellow fans

My favourites are Aerodynamic and Face to Face

oh Face to Face! The Cosmo Vitelli remix is one of my favourites on Daft Club. His remix of Little Scare by Benjamin Diamond is good too.

I listened to One More Time on repeat all the way round my marathon (all 4 hours 12 mins of it). I just kept wanting One More Time one more time

ooh no, is there a DP themed Simpsons?

No idea, but somebody here was watching the Simpsons, I heard them play Get Lucky and then your thread appeared.

Love them kooky fellas...

I used to go to Twilo in NY back in the day and Thomas Bangalter used to be there every few months to DJ. Can't believe he's the same age as my DH. The video for Around the World is one of my all-time favourites (and the Playmobil version is fun, too). Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger is my favourite, if I had to choose. I loved the dance challenge to it on Big Brother they did one year back when it was still watchable

Discovery takes me back to being 18 and out partying all the time to those songs.
I used to see the video for Digital Love and then Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger and think it was brilliant, but didn't know until a few years later about Interstella 5555. It is ace! i think the videos are all on youtube still.
