Poll: Favorite Daft Punk song

Musique has always been my favorite, followed by Voyager.

 

Covers allowed? Pentatonix - one more time

 

I've always liked the music produced by the artists who took notes from Daft Punk's earlier aesthetic (future funk, vapey disco shit, etc) more than the Daft Punk tracks themselves. But if I had to pick, probably also Voyager.

Anyone who likes Daft Punk's earlier catalog should definitely check out Letherette's EPs and compilation albums. Or just go full-neon and check out Vantage, Macross, anything from Neon City Records.

 

1. Da Funk

Runner-ups:
2. Face To Face
3. Digital Love

 

Fragments of Time for me, easy, because while all the other songs on RAM are excellent the overall feel of the track just brings me back in a tearfully sentimental way and the lyrics hit close to home. Runner up would be One More Time because I enjoyed watching the whole blue person saga on Cartoon Network way back and this was the one that turned into a proper earworm.

Edit: I'm mentally berating myself because I'd actually forgotten about Da Funk (thanks, @treboR ). Yeah that kicks One More Time down a spot, but Fragments remains my de facto fave.

 

One More Time gets my vote!

 

Give Life Back to Music.

I really enjoy the introductory build up transitioning into a calmer but still catchy rhythm. I think it's a really satisfying opener. It's a nice middle ground between some of the more exciting and some of the even more relaxed songs on RAM.

It's also a pretty good test track I've used for the intro build transitioning to smooth bass at the beginning. Tests quite a bit of the spectrum as well as separation very quickly.

 

I really enjoy "Lose yourself to Dance" and " One More Time"

 

I've got to take a step back from the RAM stuff and vote for Human After All. It's repetitive and not as polished as RAM but those abrasive vocoder "Yeeah-Yeeah"s really get stuck in my head.

 

Yesss.

I have the entire discography plus some of the remix albums and there are a half dozen that are my "favorite" depending on my mood. Still, this is the cream of the crop for me.

Da Funk is an excellent nomination.
Fragments of Time is a staple of my audio test tracks.
Some less popular ones that I love are Horizon (RAM bonus track from Japan), and Phoenix from Homework.

I'm a basic bitch, so I'm going to say "Giorgio by Moroder".

The reason behind this is the production story is pretty cool. From Wikipedia:

"When Moroder arrived in the studio to record his monologue, he was initially perplexed that the booth contained multiple microphones; he wondered if the extra equipment was a precaution in case one of the microphones broke. The recording engineer explained that the microphones varied with origin dates that ranged from the 1960s to the 21st century, and that each microphone would be used to represent the different decades in Moroder's life.[1] The engineer added that although most listeners would not be able to distinguish between each microphone, Bangalter would know the difference.[9] Nile Rodgers was also present during the voice recording sessions,[1] which took place over the course of two days."
​

The quote from the engineer is a bit overblown IMO because the differences between the mics are pretty apparent to virtually anyone with an attentive set of ears, but it's a cool way to capture the different ambiances depending on the era Giorgio is talking about.

 

As much as I love "One More Time," a bass line, rhythm and catchy melodies get me every time. There is so much to choose from that I will keep it simple.
