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

Instant Crush (Video) ft. Julian Casablancas

I had a conversation with Julian Casablancas back in the day when he was dealing with his pregnant girlfriend, sort of funny now to think back on that exchange.

Random Access Memories tracks did very well in this poll despite it tanking on the album side and the comments about it.

another surprise

From: Da Funk Single
B-Side Released: 1995
351 Points, 11 Votes, 1 Number One

Musique

I had kind of forgotten about HAA, the song. It is really good... after all.

"High Life" is banging, but I'm surprised to see it higher than "Crescendolls".

I had “Musique” in my top 5. Just everything I love about early DP

With one exception I love it more than anything on Homework

I had Veridia Quo at #1. That was the song that made me realize that Discovery was way deeper than the singles.

461 Points, 13 Votes

Get Lucky (Official Audio) ft. Pharrell Williams, Nile Rodgers

shock that it showed up at all?

11th seems right tbf

Yes, shocked it didn't place in the Top 10.

I like "Get Lucky" quite a bit tbh. But I'm glad it landed outside the top 10.

Voted for the Alive 2007 mashup of "Alive" w/ "Prime Time of Your Life," "The Brainwasher" and "Rollin' & Scratchin," which was such a monster moment in that set.

Top 10

please join me in celebrating these amazing tracks!

10. Voyager
From: Discovery
Released: 12 March 2001
496 Points, 16 Votes

Voyager (Official Video)

had a funny feeling this would be at 10, far too low of course, best arpeggios of their career

yeh voyager is such a perfect moment in 5555

Really gives the album a dose of energy to take it 'round the clubhouse turn.

I don't think I voted for "Get Lucky". I don't hate it, I just think it's a bit repetitive, which doesn't make sense as criticism when talking about DP but there you go.

"Voyager" is awesome.

i couldn't find room on my ballot for it but yeah, great song.

I had it at #6 ... turns out that, despite my joking, 4 of my top 10 were from Discovery.

9. Revolution 909
From: Homework
Single Released: 16 February 1998
554 Points, 16 Votes, 1 Number One

Revolution 909 (Official Video)

The music video for this track shows a rave taking place in an alley. Police officers suddenly arrive to break up the party. While several people are rounded up, a young woman who looks to be captured notices a stain on an officer's shirt. This triggers a flashback beginning with a tomato seed being planted, then sprouting, then harvested and then packaged. The packages are eventually transported to a grocery store where a lady selects the tomatoes to take home with her. As she is preparing tomato sauce, subtitles accurately instruct the viewer on the recipe for making the sauce for spaghetti. The lady places the prepared meal into a tupperware container. The officer from earlier in the video appears with the meal in his squad car. He dribbles the tomato sauce onto his shirt while eating it and creates the stain. This brings the flashback to the beginning of the video. When the officer looks down at his stained shirt and is distracted, the young woman gains the opportunity to flee. Someone appears on a platform above and pulls her to safety.

My favorite Homework track, by a mile. It's got such a muted, menacing undertow to it.

my number 1

Great track. I had it as my #7.

I think I can figure out what the 8 remaining songs are but could never guess the order.

Guessing Disco Cubizm missed out :(

and Gabrielle :(
