I really thought they would have banged out one last single before announcing the split, will be sadly missed. Get Lucky will remain a CLASIC in my eyes

Each of their albums are masterpieces. I have played Alive 2007 so much that I remember the audience noises on each track, wishing I had been there myself, it must have been such a great experience.
One More Time will always be a defining track for my love of dance music. |

I have to admit, it does seem at this point (and has done for many years) like they're a band on permanent hiatus that we might get something from one day if we're lucky.

QUOTE(Doctor Blind @ Feb 22 2021, 08:39 PM)  Yeah this is a very sad but inevitable moment, although like others have said I certainly didn't expect any new music last decade and was pleasantly surprised by Random Access Memories when that came out and gave them their first and only UK #1 single. They have gone out on a high and not just faded out and I admire how they approached their career. I don't think you'd have ever got to see them Rooney - their last gig was in 2006/7 I think and they hated touring. They are a band that mean a lot to me though, I vividly remember buying Discovery during the summer of 2001 as it was the first album that I spent my pocket money on (£13.99 I think it was??), then spending almost the whole summer holiday break with my family wearing out the CD player that I had playing the album out. Such an iconic album and so many fond memories attached to that period of my life too- can't believe that it is 20 years ago! I do remember hearing and loving “Around The World” and “Da Funk” on the radio in the late 90s and of course Stardust's “Music Sounds Better With You” in 98 (which Bangalter produced) but it was only after “One More Time” was hammered by Radio 1 in late 2000, the follow-up singles convinced me to get Discovery, and only then that I properly took notice and delved into their discography to became a huge fan. They will be definitely be sorely missed. I had a chance to go to their Alive tour in 2007 at Wireless, that's what kicks me! I really did think they would do a few one off gigs after Random Access Memories, probably a show in the UK, Australia, an appearance at Coachella and then maybe a couple in Europe too. But they really didn't like touring or they wanted a specific venue which probably would have been a nightmare to get licensed. But they are truly one of the greats of dance music. |

Very sad to hear this. Discovery is such a legendary album, I bought it off the back of Aerodynamic (I have that on CD single too, but it must have been an import as it didn't chart here, I wonder why it wouldn't have got an official release!?!).
Obviously I already loved One More Time and was so blown away by the album, and its influence has been everywhere on music since, as well as being the soundbed for so many TV shows etc. Random Access Memories was wonderful too and Get Lucky was one of the all-time best comeback singles. Was really hoping they'd do one more album and I'm sure it could have been big for them too, assuming it was a commercial sound. |

Doesn't seem like the final time ever I think. It's a bit sudden.

perhaps someone would like to host a Daft Punk singles rate?
besides the obvious picks, Instant Crush and Digital Love are very much worth of praise too.

Oh absolutely Dan what a great idea! Can we also include their other “projects” too just to make it a bit more interesting and representative of their great sound. |

Yeah I realised I’d made a mistake about Spacedust when I checked on Wikipedia. I don’t know how I got that idea from.

I could have put 10 Kylie tracks on it. Her videos looked like theirs too.

Instant Crush being in there is most pleasantly surprising

'Instant Crush' was easily the best thing from that album, would have made such a better second single than 'Lose Yourself to Dance'.

joining the love for Instant Crash <3 agree that it should have been the 2nd single instead of Love Yourself
Natalie Imbruglia did a pretty good cover of it |

Both versions are great and I have to agree Daft Punk should have released theirs as the follow up to 'Get Lucky'. I can see the logic of thinking another Pharrell feature would be a hit but it was just an inferior song that felt too similar. I don't know if 'Instant Crush' would have been that big of a hit but it would definitely have been a better choice. |
