  Daft Punk is great.  Genius withoutadoubt.  I put those two robots up there with Zappa as far as musical prowess/understanding/ability to follow through on musical concepts.  

  
  Big picture aside, can you tell me specifically whether "Around the world" and "One More Time" are exceptions to or are part of this genius?

• I forgot you don\'t like Zappa.  A world without Zappa or Daft Punk is a world I couldn\'t stand to live in.
  
  to each his own i guess.
  
  OMT and ATW are both great dance tunes, and thats about all you can say about \'em.  On the record I can understand them coming across as boring/cheesy, Daft Punk records can be a bit repetitive at times, but that is the name of the game in House Music.  You should check out their ALIVE 2007 Album though and see what they do to those two tunes, really top notch.  
  
  It is dance/Party music, and IMO the best & smartest dance/party music around.  At the end of the day the point is to Dance, get sweaty, have fun, and get down.
  
  so yea, part of the genius.  The same way "Bobby Brown goes down" is part of Zappa\'s genius but when listened to on its own has a tendency to offend some people.

• Not sure if you\'re referencing my or Al\'s supposed dislike of Zappa...
  
  I happen to think Zappa is a genius and I\'ve probably made better music in high school on computorz than half of Daft Punks catalog.
  
  Just blown away by the comparison, is all.
  
  A world without Zappa might be a world without Breakfast. A world without Daft Punk = +7 IQ points

• I thought you didn\'t like Zappa, guess I am confused.  I stand by the comparison.  If you made better music in highschool on your computer I would love to hear it.

  Definitely not anywhere near Kansas, perhaps spilling into...

  Perhaps your House collection is on the weaker side.  (yes I know I\'m totally inviting a harsh response and that is certainly warranted here)
  
  Sorry for being a bit bratty, living on the periphery of SF and previously living in a house with some ser DJs is drawing out the music snob.

  The left coast is too crunchy granola to wrap its dome piece around Daft Punk.  They would shred your patchwork pants and snuff out your patchouli stink even from the last row
