Aha! Now there's another legendary act with a phenomenal amount of shite in their catalogue.

Yeah sound and vision is absolutely amazing. Heroes sends me to sleep - it's a plodder. It's a hit, no doubt.

They still shit all over the Beatles though, eh?

g.man

I like to think of them as apples an' oranges innit.

poprock

Dammit. I’m rubbish at this trolling lark.

g.man

Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da mate.

G.man has a forum on the Internet
Poppy does designing in the land
G.man says to pop "what song do you like, mate?"
And popper says this as he trolls another band

"They're all shit
They're all shit
Theyre all shiiiiiittt
La la la I know the band".

There wasn't a conclusive decision on the final three of Bowie so I will call it a draw between the three.

It is Daft punk next because I'm on a house trip right now.

I strongly recommend watching Interstella 5555 as a good way of consuming Discovery.
All the albums are worth a listen and in this instance I'm gonna give a window for live tracks/mashups/versions so check out Alive.

The Tron 2 soundtrack is exceptional and worth a listen as well. As is the remixed album.

Vela

Tron 2 is sublime.

I like Giorgio.

Check out 'Get Lucky' if you get the chance.

FranticPea

I couldn't pick a favourite Daft Punk. I have Homework on repeat almost constantly at the moment.

I hear it's the sound of the summer.

It's probably Da Funk for me as it's one of the tracks I go to when testing new headphones or audio equipment. Plus it would sound great through the shitest headphones or tinniest speakers because it's awesome.

cockbeard

Very little competition for worst though

edit: to be fair to the boys, they never touched it, and had it pulled, so unfair of me to slight them

Instant shouts for me are:

Aerodynamic - I still get the goosies when that distorted guitar 8 kicks in. An incredible sonic assault.

Veridis Quo - I love the idea of the guys being robots, and this somber one just makes me think of some intergalactic robot funeral home, and this is the music at the wake they made to say goodbye to a friend. Love that melody that carries through the song.

One More Time - Pure joy. I'll never not love it.

Robot Rock - Remember the first time I heard this. Thinking FFFUUUUUUUCK THEY'RE BAAAAACK

. It's just great.

Instant Crush - Easily my fave off RAM. Just a class wee tune.

But I'll go for Aerodynamic. Its pure peak Daft Punk. It's metal, punk, electronica, rock, breakbeat, funk, everything.

Christ, Discovery really was perfect wasn't it?

FranticPea

Yes, Homework was perfect. Aerodynamic was on Discovery though.

afgavinstan

Christ. I got my apps mixed up and had a brain fart. Let me edit there.

FranticPea

As much as I do love Discovery I might have to go with Revolution 909 if I was forced to choose. It felt like every bar and club in Manchester was playing it at the time, and takes me right back there stinking of Joop thinking I was cool as fuck.

Diluted Dante

One More Time, easy.

poprock

Nah. For me, it’s Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger.

Honourable mentions to Da Funk and Derezzed though.

Armitage_Shankburn

I used to be mad about Daft Punk. Find them utterly pedestrian nowadays.

Armitage_Shankburn

Teachers and Burnin - first album

Face to Face... Maybe second album.

Doin it right - third album

But definitely an overrated act.

What's this, casuals picking off the greatest hits playlist. Disgraceful

Brooks

Hoznor has the correct angle.

Homework is the good LP, and everything on it slaps, bangs and goes.

Since then, I still like Face to Face but am well past done with the rest of the catalogue, which really doesn't hold up once you know where all the pretty blatant samples come from. Human After All could've been a fine album had they actually bothered. RAM is indulgent boring richguy shite of the max order.

In my one moment of Poprockesque ‘I know the person who...’ I once spent a very fine night bashing around Florence with the guys from Daft Punk and a few Americans, one of whom was Madeline Albrights grandson. The Americans initially thought me and my friend were Daft Punk. Daft Punk thought we could get them good drugs and calzone (despite us having been in the city for less than two hours when we first met) and we thought the Americans could introduce us to exotic art students from around the globe. Still one of the best nights I’ve ever had.

I'm not gonna lie, it was hard to pick one from the first album, but when I was listening in my teens I thought around the world and dafunk was the best thing ever. I can barely sit through them now. But the rest of the LP is good, if easily surpassed by more modern house /electro whatever you want to call it.

The later stuff is just pop / funk revival second rate shite, though they do seem good at shite pop stuff. Electronic tunes using more andalucian Chord progression ala Red Hot Chili Peppers and whatnot works, I doubt they invented that. But loads do it better, in the genre and elsewhere. Take this tune, for example, different genre but which uses two minor chord progressions to ensure euphoria; get lucky seems tepid by comparison to me for example, since it only uses the one with whatever groove your man the guitarist adds to it.

Spoiler:

Armitage_Shankburn

But anyways, house wise I'm more into Moscoman, Red Axes, Acid Arab and basically stuff that Weatherall plays.

Played, sniff.

Howdy, Stranger!
