The 11 Best Songs By Daft Punk

 

For 15 years, Daft Punk has redefined dance music, setting the bar so high…it seems like they’re the only ones who can top themselves.  This weeks Daft Punk’s new album once again redefines their genre.  The style of the new album incorporates their signature sound along with guest stars from alternative rock, hip-hop and funk.  It’s a like a bouillabaisse of everything was great, thrown together to create something new.  As their new era dawns, their previous era comes to a dark close.  Their song “One More Time,” from 2001’s Discovery features a prominent house DJ, Romanthony from New Jersey.  This past week, he passed away from kidney failure.  This is considered by many to be one of the greatest EDM dance songs of all time.  If not the best.  (Yeah, I know it’s only number 2 on this list…but let’s not discuss that).   It’s certainly not the way the duo would want to open their guest-heavy return…but in a way, it helps remind us of the guests that helped them get here in the first place.

Here are the 11 Best Songs By Daft Punk:

  1. Something About Us (Discovery)
  2. One More Time (Discovery)
  3. Robot Rock (Human After All)
  4. Digital Love (Discovery)
  5. Human After All (Human After All)
  6. Da Funk (Homework)
  7. Face To Face (Discovery)
  8. Aerodynamic (Discovery)
  9. Television Rules the Nation (Human After All)
  10. Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger (Discovery)
  11. Around The World (Homework)

The 11 Best Songs By Daft Punk

Pushing forward to the end of the year, it’s time for me to do a little pandering to my lovely peeps.  That’s you…stand up and take a bow. 

 Running this site isn’t free.  Nor do I have hours of unlimited time to host lists and very cool MP3s.  Don’t get me wrong…I love doing it.  But it would be nice that it wasn’t a money-losing venture for me.  Anyway…all I ask is if you can get the time…cruise through my store and see if there’s any music out there you like.  I get a small  (and I mean very small) percentage of each purchase.  But every purchase adds up.

 Happy holidays and all that jazz.
