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

sorry for a hot take, but daft punk were never great when it came to feminine energy, were they? always kind of a boys thing. feel like that's part of why ram is a little turgid.

I could just be saying it because it was my #1, but Stardust feels at least acceptably androgyne to my ears.

best Together track

Fan Animated Video with Pictures of People mentioned in the Song

<3 at Kenny Dope's prominence in that graphic

I mean Teachers is a lot of fun and good to sing along to but 31 feels high

"Teachers" > "Oh Yeah"

It felt high to me too.

I love that Together song.

so much love in the yt comment section for together

Too Long? Too Low more like

Le Knight Club - Holiday On Ice

Added everything I could find so far to the Spotify playlist

Thank you, I just don't have time for that too.

Still trying to get my head around the fact that out of 30 ballots received, 22 of them didn't have Too Long in their top 25

Phoenix + Daft Punk - Madison Square Garden 2010 (Complete Second Encore)

There is not a good video for the song, so instead lets have Phoenix the band join Daft Punk live.

or vise versa

This includes the tracks
Phoenix - If I Ever Feel Better
mixed with:

DP - Harder Better Faster Stronger (vocals), DP - Around The World (vocals)

Phoenix - 1901
mixed with
Thomas Bangalter & Dj Falcon - Together (Vocals), DP - Human After All (Vocals), DP - Rock & Roll (Sample)

Close Encounters Jingle and 1901 again as reprise.

11 years have passed since the last public appareance of the Daft Punk duo (ignoring the grammys) , this time as a surprise guest in the Madison Square Garden, with his ex Darlin' partner Laurent Brancowitz, for just 20 minutes, bringing back memories of the begining of the band.
Every single scene, every single moment were managed to be upscaled and corrected, even rebuild into 60fps if it were possible, this way the concert would look like if it happened yesterday.
The audio have several filters and some trickery to keep up at the level of the performance.
Thanks to every single one who recorded even a single bit of this amazing gig.

The Weeknd - I Feel It Coming ft. Daft Punk (Official Video)

I know some posters were grumpy that The Weeknd tracks were making this list but I Feel It Coming sounds completely consistent with the best of their RAM-era work.

Glad to see "Lose Yourself To Dance" as low as it is, given its status as (I think) one of their biggest hits?

teachers >>> phoenix

also gonna guess Holiday On Ice will be the highest rated Le Knight Club track

sorry for a hot take, but daft punk were never great when it came to feminine energy, were they? always kind of a boys thing.

Yeah, it's especially apparent in their teen-male-gaze-y merch ads, and in things like both(!) of the "Club Soda" videos. Plus they infamously said they moved from the rock scene to dance clubs because it was a better opportunity to meet sexy women.

I do think their choice of male vocalists has always been on the androgynous end, soundwise. Maybe because Thomas & Guy-Man don't have very deep voices and their vocalists are stand-ins for themselves.

the male gaze stuff could also be a french thing to an extent idk

Together - So Much Love To Give

too low!

this is a great track!

I like this song but I've never quite gotten the "So Much Barf To Hurl" slam out of my mind when I hear it.

I voted for 5 Le Knight Club tracks, one of which was "Coral Twist," and at this point I'd be surprised if any of the other 4 place.

i also had 5 LKC tracks on my ballot

voted for Gator, like that it is both forthcoming and spectral

On my ballot too.

Keep your POLL to the sky!
