Need your support on this arguing with an idiot

My cousin is trying to tell me that Daft Punk aren't in the top 10 electronic music producers of all time.

They created electro, they were also the big players to bring sampling of non dance genres to dance music.

Is he talking influence on EDM or production and skill wise?

[LabRat]

The Prodigy are better

Let's be honest. Daft Punk basically just copied Kraftwerk and took it to another level. Perhaps not so much musically (although they were clearly a massive influence on them) but with the whole identity thing. robots n that..

Kraftwerk: Man/Machine

Daft Punk: Human/Robot

Kinda got the same vibe goin on there.... both fuckin awesome though.

Kraftwerk were the bomb for me as a kid and daft punk never did it for me (I was always wishing for the early 90's when daft punk came along).

BUT: i think they paid homage to kraftwerk rather than copied them.

There can be no doubt daft punk are huge players in the scene, and that you need a new cousin.

but also yes, prodigy are better.

but also yes, prodigy are better.

Having seen both of them live I'd have to disagree with that. And I've got mad love for both of them.

I still rate 'No Good (Start the Dance) as the track that cemented my love for electronic music.

^fair play,

never seen daft punk live, only heard them in the distance at glasto '97.

But seen prodigy from very close up and they rocked my world.

"No good" is truly a milestone

[mattus123]

never been a real fan of daft punk, i like there stuff but dont love it

having said that... i cant deny them of the credit that they deserve as pioneers of the EDM we listen to today

[russell]

I just wish I'd seen them when they were doing it like this...
