After Random Access Memories and the success it has had, it pretty much proves their staying power even into the 2010s.

At this point, it's pretty clear they're Hall bound, but the question is how many times will they be nominated before they get it?

It will be amazing if Daft Punk becomes one of the first/few house groups to inducted into the Hall of Fame. I agree with SotN, I think with the success of Random Access Memories they will probably have more success in the future. On top of that Discovery is an album that's changed trance/house/dance music for good.

Oh shoot I meant Homework , not Discovery. Well Discovery too, but mostly Homework.

After all of these years of constant success, I find it hard to believe that they wouldn't get inducted, lol. I'm pretty sure they're an instant lock, which is fantastic for DJ's and artists that deal with more electronic instruments and styles.

Waving the French flag into the hall is what I'm thinking... Absolutely influential on electronic music.

The problem is the hall has yet to induct acts like Kraftwerk, the Smiths, The Cure, New Order, Depeche Mode, and Nine Inch Nails. But I think the hall will induct Daft Punk

Posted by Ishmael Love on Sunday, 11/20/2016 @ 21:29pm

should Electronic artists like Kraftwerk, Mental As Anything and Jesse Saunders be added first, yes

unfortunately, the RHOF has the habit of added new artists before the pioneers.

electronic music and its sub-genres like house, has had a silent impact and influence on rock music, its something a lot of people don't notice or give credit to.

Imagine Kraftwerk, Devo, and Daft Punk on the same ballot next year!

Posted by Roy on Tuesday, 05/28/2019 @ 14:11pm

To be honest I think Daft Punk should be First balloters and should get in right alongside Kraftwerks. They both helped to change electronic music and have both released excellent music. Both have also been commercially successful.

RIP Daft Punk...

I was listening to their albums back again and man, I think the robots should be inducted for their work. If you're one of those rock music purists, just go listen to Human After All and RAM and tell me that those aren't rock music. Daft Punk was really influential. They combined electronic and rock music in the mid-2000s which then influenced hip-hop music of the 2010s.

Did someone actually die? Did they retire? Did they break-up?

Posted by Roy on Tuesday, 02/23/2021 @ 12:59pm

They broke up. Has anyone ever caught them with their helmets off? Do we know what they look like? How do they hold meetings with record executives?

Posted by Roy on Tuesday, 02/23/2021 @ 14:14pm

Roy -
No one has died, they retired, and there are a bunch of photos of them without their helmets on although most of them were taken in the 90s :)

Posted by Maya on Tuesday, 03/23/2021 @ 08:31am

Kraftwerk > Devo > Daft Punk

Posted by Roy on Thursday, 04/1/2021 @ 12:47pm

A lock for sure. After Kraftwerk's induction, and Daft Punk's already massive reputation being increased by their break up, Daft Punk is in, maybe not next year, but certainly some time in the next five.

Literally one of the greatest duos of all time alongside Wham!, and Hall And Oates. These dudes worked with two wonderful stars: The Weeknd and Pharrell Williams. My favourites are obviously Get Lucky, I Feel It Coming, and One More Time. Geez these guys must be inducted.
