    ------------------------------------------------
    Daft Punk were a French electronic music duo formed in 1993 in Paris by Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo and Thomas Bangalter. They achieved popularity in the late 1990s as part of the French house movement; they also had success in the years following, combining elements of house music with funk, techno, disco, indie rock and pop. They are considered one of the most influential acts in dance music history.
    After Bangalter and de Homem-Christo's indie rock band Darlin' disbanded, they began experimenting with drum machines, synthesizers, and the talk box. Their debut studio album Homework was released by Virgin Records in 1997 to positive reviews, backed by singles "Around the World" and "Da Funk". From 1999, they assumed robot personas with helmets, outfits, and gloves for public appearances, and made few media appearances. They were managed from 1996 to 2008 by Pedro Winter, the head of Ed Banger Records.
    Daft Punk's second album, Discovery (2001), had further success, supported by hit singles "One More Time", "Digital Love" and "Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger". Their third album, Human After All (2005), received mixed reviews, though the singles "Robot Rock" and "Technologic" achieved success in the United Kingdom. Daft Punk toured throughout 2006 and 2007 and released the live album Alive 2007, which won a Grammy Award for Best Electronic/Dance Album. They composed the score for the 2010 film Tron: Legacy.
    In 2013, Daft Punk left Virgin for Columbia Records and released their fourth album, Random Access Memories, to acclaim; lead single "Get Lucky" reached the top 10 in the charts of 32 countries. Random Access Memories won five Grammy Awards in 2014, including Album of the Year and Record of the Year for "Get Lucky". In 2016, Daft Punk gained their only number one on the Billboard Hot 100 with "Starboy", a collaboration with the Weeknd. Rolling Stone ranked them No. 12 on its list of the 20 Greatest Duos of All Time. They announced their split in February 2021. Daft Punk broke up in 2021.

I’m so sad that by the time I got to be an adult and afford concert tickets, they broke up. I’m more sad that I will never hear more music from them. I’m so heartbroken. They’re still my favorite band.

    I always liked Daft Punk but never listened to RAM as a smaller child since I liked the groovy beats but RAM was too classical for my taste back then. In 2018 though I listened to it and instantly fell in love and (3:35) the last tracks speech is from an Apollo mission which I thought to be symbolizing the robots leaving our planet for the stars.

    Part of me thinks they went the masked route after people had such a bad taste in their mouth after the harsh treatment people had when they were in the band Darlin’ with the lead guitarist of Phoenix. They wanted a change of pace from Punk to house to escape their critic’s biases and wanted their music to speak for itself as they revolutionized edm, while they set the bar for creating more variations in French House than there predecessors. I think they have a really cool redemption story and while their Punk music wasnt “the best” i think its beautiful that their criticisms only fueled their drive to reinvent themselves. And their naïve childlike desire to humanize the intricacies and personality of technological instruments alongside their equally childlike machine-loving hero Leiji Matusmoto coming out with their identity defining “Discovery” album and work on Intersella 5555 was just icing on the cake for their success. Absolutely cool dudes with an absolutely cool story. They deserved every award for what they did for music, live performance, and multimedia art!
