DAFT PUNK - "Get Lucky"

Of course I had to post this up!

In an interview with DAFT PUNK said that everyone these days is doing electronica to death with no real innovation so they wanted to go in a different direction. Good thing they know how to make an awesome pop song with regular instruments.

Although it is catchy, I'm not sure it would have made my Top Ten: DAFT PUNK Songs but it's still a good song.

The Playlist: Best Songs of the Year 1960-2012

From Adele Calvin Harris to Ray Charles

At the end of every year I look back and think of what I thought were the best songs of the year. This past year I made my list public with my post - Top Ten: Songs O' 2012 (also check out my Top Ten: Songs O' 2011). 

I've decided to take that idea and stretch it back to 1960 and so without further ado, what I think are the best songs of the year (along with runner-ups), starting with 2012 and going backwards. Surprisingly good playlist if played in order. 

Also, if you were a fan of this list back in 2011, I have to warn you that I made some changes since then. Please criticize as such.

Top Ten: DAFT PUNK Songs

Every Monday for the month of April I will be listing a few of my favourite bands and what I believe are their best songs. Although you may not agree with the list, I hope you can respect me for being able to make a call and not totally mess it up.

DAFT PUNK is an electronica duo, pioneers of French house and masters of synthpop, I can't think of a more important act for the electronica scene than them. For some reason they have released ONLY three official albums in their career: Homework (1997), Discovery (2001), and Human After All (2005). They also released two amazing live albums Alive 1997 (1997) and Alive 2007 (2007) and they also were responsible over the Tron: Legacy Soundtrack (2010).

10. Robot Rock - album: Human After All (2005)

[I'm sorry but this is the only version I can find]

Of course when DAFT PUNK decides to rock, they robot rock! This revolves around a single guitar riff that makes you want to bob your head the whole time.
