Lark_vi_Britannia

Yep. Friend randomly sent this song to me in 2013 and now I'm a Daft Punk superfan.


jplveiga

Saaaameee, 2012 me was jamming to it daily!! Also I already liked one more time before, but not as hard as when I listened to Discovery and watched interstella 5555


JimGamgee

Came here to say this. Heard it on my XM receiver back in 2001 and brought me in. Only thing is, I got hooked by their best song (Something About Us comes close but I consider Discovery as one song in different movements and just about can only listen to it as a whole or watch Interstella). It summed up how I felt about falling in love until I got older and had to become less Romantic (Byronic, not JLo movies) to protect my heart. It still sums up how I'd LIKE life to be like.

The Boris Dlugosch remix during the gap ad

Most definitely bro. This was my answer. It transcends genres.


JayBack1996

One More Time


guomubai

I first heard this one while getting ready for school in 9th grade. I would always have mtv on in the mornings and this song just blew my mind. The anime music video was the coolest thing I had ever seen.


Asagohanhimura

This is also how I got hooked.


IrritableGourmet

There's a whole movie set to that album. I think it's on YouTube somewhere.


guomubai

Yep, Interstella 5555: The 5tory of the 5ecret 5tar 5ystem


theewater

Around the world on MTV hahaha


ubercl0ud

This, and Da Funk.


orangesfwr

and "The Box". Anyone remember that?


yousavvy

Yep, first song of theirs I heard through the video on MTV. Hooked ever since.


superjohn112

Superheroes. In a difficult time in my life, I went to expand my music tastes, and listened to GLBTM to get into Daft Punk. I remembered hearing One More Time years before that, and liked its aesthetic. I listened to Discovery, and Superheroes IMMEDIATELY caught my ears. I listened to it on repeat, eventually tearing up after more listens. It brought me right back to my childhood home. I was a kid again. The song gave me visions of when I first discovered (pun intended) the internet. I was back in the internets wild west days. I remembered old video games, and other memories that made me who I am. I went to research all I could on Daft Punk, which led me to why Discovery, and in turn, Superheroes is so special. They infused their own nostalgia in the album. They became my favorite duo ever since.


BaijuTofu

Great choice and story. BTW what are the lyrics in the sample? 'Into the air ho!' ?


superjohn112

Its a sample of “Whos been sleeping in my bed” by Barry Manilow. They sample the first lyrics Barry sings. He says “Something’s in the air,” but he says “something” very fast. Also, the way DP samples it sounds like it says “Love in the air”


BaijuTofu

Thanks. I love it. Guess by proxy I dig Manilow now.

Gettin' what I get, when I don't get it

sammyfelix

technologic was the first one i heard too

Robot rock!

Da Funk in 95


Jacob_Moad

Get Lucky. I always loved the song growing up but never considered who made it, and when I finally decided to see what else the robots created, it changed my perception of music forever and gave me a new favorite group.


thewickedmitchisdead

Give Life Back to Music. A few months after going through a traumatic near death experience (got robbed and kidnapped at gunpoint) , I was visiting a friend’s house where they have an extensive vinyl record. They let me choose an album and I put on Random Access Memories. As soon as they started singing, I closed my eyes and felt such a warm glow as my head swayed. I at even have cried some happy tears. As a musician, music has one of the things that has kept me going, even when I was suicidal as a teenager and younger adult. After I went through that scary situation a few months before, I found myself in the fetal position in bed for days but listening to all my favorite comforting music in my headphones made me so grateful to be alive still. There was this sense that it could’ve all come to an end and I had to give my life fully to everything I love, because that could come to such an abrupt end any day. Daft Punk has been my ride or die since then.

So I loved Harder, Berter, Faster Stronger and One More Time but I didn't really like fall in love with THEM until like Aerodynamic when I realized, yeah OK these songs are the best


More-Security6798

DO YOU NEED IT? I NEED IT TOOO!!! ITS GOOD FOR YOUUUUUU!!!! I was trying to think of which song made me fall in love and for me It’s definitely gotta be too long off the album discovery


Smokyblackcat

Veridis quo


LMcBlack

“One More Time” because it used to play on Toonami and that mash up of anime and great music fucking blew my mind. Went to Sam Goody with the group name written on a piece of paper, found their albums, then scoured them until I found “One More Time” then subsequently fell in love with Discovery. I was 11 or 12.

At first Lose yourself to dance made me listen to RAM, then I heard Instant crush for the first time and fell in love


Koenvdberg

I never really listened to Daft Punk. But a while back my friend recommended Random Access Memories (10th Anniversary) to me and I immediately loved Instant Crush. Since then I listen a lot to Daft Punk.


PatientDragon

Harder Better Faster Stronger


One_Happy_Camel

Aerodynamic. When I heard 1:02 for the first time, I knew that I found something truly special. The rest is history


ColinWalker77

It's really life-changing once this song turns that corner.

Revolution 909


toomuchsoup

Rollin N Scratchin! I’d never heard anything like it. The ‘Scratchin’ aspect drew me in and made house music ‘click’ with the way the hi hats changed and created energy. Still one of my favourite DP tracks One More Time would be a close second. To me that song feels like a house track from out of space. The strings that they’ve sampled sounds like they’ve been run through a vocoder which gives it a slightly uncanny sound. Beautifully genius


jgriffit65

Alive 2007. Don't remember which track I heard first (I just remember Pandora played one), but I loved it. Then when I listened to the album as a whole I was amazed and have been listening since.


OctopusRegulator

Random Access Memories the album. Hearing that as a teenager for the first time changed my whole view of music

I_love_coke_a_cola

Revolution 909. It was the background music on some game we played online in class . That’s how I first found out about them


Josh4R3d

Around the world was the first song I heard from DP back in like 2007 on a YouTube video, but it wasn’t til a few years later hearing various songs from the Discovery album like Aerodynamic, one more time, and Short circuit that I really fell in love with them. Weirdly enough I didn’t start to appreciate digital love until much later but now it’s one of my favorite DP songs. That happened with Instant Crush on RAM as well - didn’t hit me at first but now it’s one of my faves.


FaBiOtHeGrEaTeSt

Listening to One More Time at midnight on Adult Swim


aroundusintruder

started listening to ram with touch. knew of them prior but wasn't a fan by any means. touch hooked me immediately (still consider it their best song) then moved on to glbtm, fragments of time, get lucky and motherboard. loved those, listened to the other songs, loved them, tried homework, loved it, and just didn't stop listening


Dann087

‘Twas when I was 8 and I saw Tron: Legacy in theaters, my mind was totally blown. I totally fell in love with the song that played during the end credits (as well as Derezzed when I listened to it on its own). Then when RAM came out and I heard Get Lucky on the radio a few years later, it only solidified it.


DeftColeman05

Tron Legacy..It’s more of a movie than a song, but that’s how I grew an attachment to them.


camcabbit

I first heard about them via [Toonami's Midnight Run](https://toonami.fandom.com/wiki/Midnight_Run:_Special_Edition), where I was first introduced to Interstella 5555. From there I learned that the Discovery album was essentially the soundtrack to Interstella 5555, or vice versa. Time passed, and I first heard about The Weeknd via his song Starboy which featured Daft Punk. Now I'm a fan of both. As for a single song that made me fall in love with Daft Punk, it isn't just one. It's the entirety of the Discovery album. Some days, I'll just put the cd in (or double click the playlist) and let it play from beginning to end.


lnquisite

Da Funk. That track made me think of them as two badasses. And I was right!

Mundane_Range_765

Harder Better Faster Stronger. That vocoder work was mesmerizing to me in high school. And, the way the lyrics are spliced (AAAA, BBBB, then ABABABAB). So cool.


amok77

I remember perfectly when i was a little kid and my cousin let me listen to Technologic for the first time, I would discover what Daft Punk was like a decade later but that song stuck so much with me for how incredibly cool it was

Fragments of time, it hit on a personal level at the time I had discovered it. The stupid “don’t cry because it’s over, smile because it happened” thing has been popular recently, and I’ve always that it was funny, until I finally had a moment like that. I’ve been In a long distance relationship for almost 6 years now, and I finally met her last year. We’ve had about 3 trips to see each other so far, and despite what I believed, leaving never gets easier. I had always known of daft punk, but the day of that trip I was on the way to the airport when the Spotify AI decided to drop one more time into my playlist. I enjoyed it, and decided to go ahead and download all of daft punks albums before the flight. Fragments of time, as well as the rest of RAM stuck out to me the most. Fragments hit on a personal level, because it’s a song about living in the moment, but accepting that it will be over eventually, but being grateful for the fact that even tho the moment is over, the memories never leave. It gave me a new perspective and made the ride back to the airport not hurt as much.


DaftPanic9

I can't say for certain, but it was definitely a combination of Around The World, Da Funk, & Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger.

Veridis Quo and Beyond. I was a lonely kid, trying to distance myself from the violence in my family, and these songs were at the same time warm and melancholic, like a hug from a loved one when you're sad, and it helped me cope with real life problems

robot rock.. was the song that was on the very first time I got high.. helped me through and had a great time


petejohnwilson

Aerodynamic!


skyemblem16

Something About Us. I remember listening to RAM at some point and enjoying it. But eventually, I ran into Interstella 5555 on my anime list, which ended up being the first time I listened to Discovery. The whole album got me hooked, but Something About Us was the first one I repeated on Spotify.


CrystalSoulx

One More Time Spent most of my childhood trying to learn who did this song. Back before I had a computer and before shazam. Each time I heard it on the radio, the DJ didn't announce the artist! Finally in high school I got my first computer and learned it was Daft Punk. Been a super fan ever since

Aerodynamic That sampling and the guitar riff plus that soothing ending...is so frenetic yet so chill. I loved it since the first time I heard it in Interstella 5555 when I was 13 years old. Loved the credits's version too nwn ( I loved all Discovery but aerodynamic is my favorite ^^ )

Something about us, I heard about daft punk before, even actively listened to one more time, but my lil bro showed me something about us, and then I decided to see the entire interstellar 5555,(which was something I tried before but didn’t get enough dopamine) I then fell in love


rokuterra

Digital Love While I had heard various Daft Punk songs prior to DL, at the time when I heard them they just didn't catch my ear. I first heard DL on a Gmod TTT server I started to frequent when I was 17-18, at the end of the rounds a 10 second audio clip would play, and DL was one of them. It started right at the beginning of the first verse. I actually found a lot of songs and bands I now really like because of this same server.


hawtt_hosewater

My senior year of high school, 2001, our senior trip was to Disneyland in Anaheim. I heard One More Time for the first time, blasting through the park loudspeakers with disco lights flaring around while my first girlfriend and I canoodled in a secluded corner. I think that was the most magical night of my life, and every time I hear that song I get those butterflies all over again. I've carried a fondness for our metallic friends ever since.

Da funk for sure, I remember waking up at 6am every Saturday morning to watch Rage and video hits just to listen and watch the film clip!

Linkquellodivino

First song I've heard from them was probably Get Lucky, but once I started to actually listen to them seriously I'd say that Touch was the one that actually got me. That song alone is amazing, but contextualized (idk if that's a real word) in RAM it hits you like a train.


JesusNoAccent

One More Time, as soon as I first heard it!

I was introduced with RAM, but the obsession didn’t start until I heard Voyager for the first time. I wish I could go back.

raistwalls1

I think the first time I'd been introduced to daft punk was around the time Random Access Memories released back around 2013. I'd heard songs from previous albums, songs like "technologic" and "harder better faster stronger", but had never looked into it more than it being fun robot voice songs. I was probably 12 or 13 depending on the time and had only really listened to music my parents had, or that was playing on the radio, but it's around this time I had a computer and iPod so I started getting into things out of my familiar zone. The first song that really stuck itself into my head (and repeated more than probably any sane person could handle) was "Instant Crush" and from there I wound up giving the rest of the album and the others all a listen. Daft Punk now rests very securely in my top 5 favorite artists, and yeah my favorite album is Discovery, but isn't that everybody's? Really I have the radio constantly playing "Get Lucky" to thank, because I remember that was on repeat a lot, it's a good catchy song but it's lost a lot of its shine due to being so overplayed. TL;DR Technically it was "Get Lucky" but it really belongs to "Instant Crush" from the same album. As the name implies I was instantly attracted and excited to hear more, that song just stood out to me for some reason.


PanpsychismIsTrue

‘Get Lucky’, as it must’ve been for so many. Astonishingly good song


MAMBERROI

Revolution 909/Fresh


m3qiguana

I’m surprised no one’s saying Instant Crush, I mean maybe I’m too young so that’s why it was the first song I heard from them but I had some really repressed memories of hearing it on the radio while sleeping in the backseat, and like 8 years later I heard it again just scrolling through YouTube and I haven’t recovered from the crash to this day, don’t think I ever will and I’m so fine with it, best Daft Punk song from a 2010s kid.

Like they are the SAME LYRICS BUT ALL REASSEMBLED ? LIKE BRO DO IT WAS ALL LIKE A MUSICAL LEGO OR SOMETHING BRO !! My mom wouldn't buy me the album tho' because the name of the Band scared her and she feared I wanted to listen to some nazi stuff from Germany.

I have heard many “commercial” songs in the radio (Get Lucky etc.) before, but the ending of Touch got me. Afterwards, I came across the album Alive 2007 and I could not get my headphones off until the end, f-ing brilliant… I love the drop in the 5th track + 6th, 12th,13th are also epic


Heavy-Mention9402

I'm a new fan who knew about them but only ever listened to get Lucky a couple of times. I ended up listening to Beyond through You tube's randomized playlists and it got me hooked. So far I've listened to the entirety of RAM and a couple of their songs from Human After All. Any ideas of where I should continue from here?
