POLLin’ & Scratchin' - ILM Artist Poll #113 - DAFT PUNK (Results Thread)

Spinal Scratch was #8 on my ballot and thought it would be higher as it's probably the best solo Bangalter track

Chord Memory was my #3, my favourite DP remix and so many good memories around that track.

Also appears to be a spoiler in Bee's post above lol

did not know about the Eric Prydz connection

kinda cool, kinda hilarious

track is a jam

saddened at the sudden realisation that if Bee OK had gone with a top 40 then Life Is Sweet and Chord Memory wouldn't have shown up on a poll of Daft Punk's best tracks

"Touch" might have been my one RAM vote. Paul Williams was a great "get" for what they were trying to accomplish.

Great poll so far. I’m on vacation with my family otherwise I’d be posting more.

Daftendirekt was one of my only Homework votes. I’ve never fully locked in with that album (tho the videos help make the case for it TBH, so thanks for posting them in this poll).

That said, I will never forget the moment when I first heard Daftendirekt and the beat dropped in a completely different place w/r/t the opening sample than I was expecting. I’ve never been able to recreate that feeling re-listening to it but I remember it so vividly I couldn’t help but vote for it.

Motherboard is wonderful, and Omar Hakim’s performance is unbelievable. I always hear its sublimely melancholy arpeggio coda propelled by Hakim as Daft Punk’s requiem for genre formerly known as post rock. And I will always be here for it.

I really wasn't sure what to expect with the votes for RAM. When it came to voting I had this realisation that there aren't really any songs I dislike on there. I had Lose Yourself To Dance high and I know some people rate that as one of the low points of the album. No idea if it'll place.

Yeah, I hate "Lose Yourself to Dance."

Enjoying this, the albums results were very much as expected but some nice surprises in the tracks. I've had 4 place so far, and agonised over Derezzed for ages but cut it at the last minute.

Robot Rock is the only HAA track I would have considered voting for, but I agree with kitchen person that it outstays its welcome. The 'Maximum Overdrive' version on the single is surely a piss-take as it's longer still and never drops, just builds and resets.

xp I don't like "Lose Yourself to Dance" either but I bet someone has made an enjoyable remix of it (not that I feel like seeking it out). There's a germ of a great song in it

what a great poll, hadn't heard 'spinal scratch' before it's completely nuts, highest level stuff afaict

Yeah, I hate "Lose Yourself to Dance."

it needs to be remixed by The Avalanches
(whose Music Makes Me High effortlessly achieves what RAM tries to)

Needs a version where the robot voice is replaced with the housekeeper from Father Ted.

Instant Crush is objectively a good song though.

It's objectively a good song that does nothing for me.

Spotify is a collaborated playlist, so if you can find the songs, it would be a great help if people on this board can keep it updated.

Top 40

Just watching this extra footage from that 1996 rave in Wisconsin. It was always frustrating that the gear was just out of view but at the start here you can see Thomas plugging in the 909.

x-post not to distract from the top 40, just leaving this here.

Also appears to be a spoiler in Bee's post above lol

i see that now

Amazing images! Voted for a few tracks that showed up in Day 1 including Derezzed, Spinal Scratch, and Contact. Very glad to see those show up.

Give Life Back to Daft Punk

I'll give "Give Life" credit for sounding pretty great in my Jeep.
