  1. All this about how "interesting", "clever", "well marketed" they are makes you guys sound like you think there's some evil masterplan behind them, or like you're desperate to rationalize the fact that you like their music. IMO they pulled it off by making great tunes, simple as that.

     

    I dont really think their music is very clever at all, I do like it though (some of it very much) and do find it interesting, but there are other electronic music acts who aren't in the same position as Daft Punk, and it isn't because of a lack of great tunes.

     

    I do think the music caught on because it was as you mention good enough to grab attention. But I dont think that is the reason for their greater commercial successes. They are very good, but they are equaled by plenty of other artists musically who are nowhere near as famous.

  2. Chicago House was quite commercially successful in the UK and Europe before Daft Punk to be fair though... But I don't really think people paid too much attention to its origins of Chicago, and Daft Punk definitely took things to a much larger scale.

     

    I think a lot of it has to do with how they are marketed, and who they are marketed to.

     

    That Random Access Memories/No End youtube track is quite nice btw.
