Daft Punk Songs Ranked
Daft Punk is a French electronic music duo formed in Paris in 1993 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, rock, and synthpop. They have worn ornate helmets and gloves to assume robot personas in most public appearances since 1999 and rarely grant interviews or appear on television. The duo was managed from 1996 to 2008 by Pedro Winter (also known as Busy P), the head of Ed Banger Records. 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 first number one on the Billboard Hot 100 with the song “Starboy”, a collaboration with The Weeknd. As of 2015, Daft Punk had sold over 12 million albums worldwide. Rolling Stone ranked them No. 12 on its list of the 20 Greatest Duos of All Time. Here are all of Daft Punk songs ranked.

20. Too Long (Interstella 5555: The 5tory of the 5ecret 5tar 5ystem, 2007)
“Their most unappreciated song, it should be number one. Not many songs keep someone interested for 10 minutes straight and it covers two amazing genres”
19. Voyager (Interstella 5555: The 5tory of the 5ecret 5tar 5ystem, 2007)
“The funkiness of this track really complements the album well, and this song really should be higher cause its one of their most underrated songs. The pause in the middle really gives the song extra kick and same with the sound change near the end. One of my favorite Daft Punk songs”
18. Give Life Back to Music (Random Access Memories, 2013)
“Great track just like Get Lucky, combines the greatness of Nile Rodgers and Daft Punk into one beautiful medley. This is a beautiful song! It deserves to be in the top 5 at the very least! I love this song so much! It gets me in such a great mood! I absolutely love the funky base in the background!”
17. Revolution 909 (Homework, 1997)
“Such a classic Daft Punk song. It’s a really great dance track that’s just plain addicting. And the video teaches us how to make tomato sauce? Just splendid. I also like how when the tomatoes go through processing, it goes SO well with the song. Rock on!”

16. Derezzed (Tron: Legacy, 2010)
“Tron: Legacy is a great movie, and the biggest reason why it rocks so much is because of the amazing Daft Punk soundtrack. “Derezzed” is no poor exception. A daft sample, but when you think about it how great is it to do a rhythm box using electric shock snaps?”
15. Human After All (Human After All, 2005)
“You can really feel the emotion in this song for some reason, despite the fact that it sounds very robotic, and for that reason, it is one of my favorite songs. Love this song, the evolution on the track, the robotic sense, and its final…AFTER ALL!”
14. Face to Face (Interstella 5555: The 5tory of the 5ecret 5tar 5ystem, 2001)
“I don’t know what it is about this song. I suppose it just sort of stuck with me. It’s not one of their most well known or acclaimed songs, but there’s something magical about it that’s difficult to place. Something about this song just gets me hyped up. Even though I’ve heard it over a hundred times. To me, it’s a perfect song”
13. Touch (Random Access Memories, 2013)
“This song has the essence of so many genres infused into it.. And you can truly feel the emotion of what daft punk is about with this track and what their previous albums were about especially the first two and this massive instrumental deserves its place not only in the top of daft punk lists but in music lists itself… Truly we need something more like this song.”
12. Lose Yourself to Dance (Random Access Memories, 2013)
“This song is just out of the world. I don’t understand how this is not in the top 5 at least. It’s beautiful and slow. Great song…! Surely one of the catchy songs…that takes you to the glory of the late ’80s. This should definitely be in the top ten at least! It’s great!”
11. Robot Rock (Human After All, 2005)
“THE most techno song you’ll ever hear. This beat is the most depression curing song of all time. Crazy been hearing this for a long time and soon will make music like this… It’s the greatest thing when rock and electronic music comes together.”
10. Aerodynamic (Interstella 5555: The 5tory of the 5ecret 5tar 5ystem, 2007)
“This song is a true peace of daft punk art. I am surprised by the guitar solo at 1:02 (don’t ask :P) should make it at least in the top three. I wish daft punk could have there old talent with them in those beautiful helmets (like in the homework-discovery era).”
9. Technologic (Human After All, 2005)
“Curiously poetic, ingeniously rhythmic, ethically strong song about our world of geekism and consumption. Plug it, break it work it, upgrade it, whatever it is so hard to memorize.”
8. Something About Us (Interstella 5555: The 5tory of the 5ecret 5tar 5ystem, 2001)
“I love this song! It’s sexy, hypnotic, and utterly amazing! Great for chilling that might lead to more situations, especially when buzzing! I simply love this song. One of the best songs were ever written. It has everything, it has emotion, has power, has a soul. I’ve got to say, as a rock fan, this is the perfect song.”
7. Digital Love (Interstella 5555: The 5tory of the 5ecret 5tar 5ystem, 2001)
“I used to not care for the songs on Discovery. I was only familiar with the French house stuff on Homework and Human After all, then all these Discovery songs invaded my Spotify, I didn’t like the fact that they were all disco songs (I didn’t like that genre). Then I decided to give it a chance. When Digital Love came on, I immediately fell in love with it. It feels very warm and happy. Then I started to love Discovery. To this day, Digital love is my favorite Daft Punk Song. 10/10 for me!”

6. Da Funk (Future Funk, 1995)
“This defined 90s House. It has such a unique sound. It’s like alternative electronica or something. It has such strange sounds yet Daft Punk turned it into a masterpiece. I like how Daft Punk has recently tried to go for a more actual electronic feel with RAM (which they succeeded at), but… Man. I wish they tried making more songs like this.”
5. Instant Crush (Random Access Memories, 2013)
“Completely ‘chained’ to it, can’t seem to like any other song now; so I play it on repeat incessantly everywhere while travelling. Perfect lyrics & amazing punches yet modern. Julius (& Daft Punk) pumped life to those inanimate mannequins’ story!”
4. Around the World (Homework, 1997)
“If I have to choose one daft punk song I have to hear for my whole life, I would choose this one. One more time and HBFS are good songs but way overrated. however, around the world lives up to it’s overratedness with a great baseline, cool dance synths, and even the lyrics never get old.”
3. Get Lucky (Random Access Memories, 2013)
“Get Lucky seems to be a certain comeback to the music that Daft Punk was influenced by and grew-up with from the late-70s and early-80s. The inclusion of Pharrell Williams on vocals and Nile Rodgers (of Chic fame) on guitar is a compliment to the past and the future of disco. Not to mention that the robot duo actually produced live music!”
2. One More Time (Interstella 5555: The 5tory of the 5ecret 5tar 5ystem, 2007)
“It’s easily one of the most underrated songs of all time. Who could hate it for being bouncy and energetic? Butthurt modern pop fanbrats. PhantomStrider could’ve debuted by doing a Spider Man 3 music video of “One More Time”. no disrespect to Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger, which is later borrowed into the God of Kanye West songs. – The Ultimate Daredevil”
1. Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger (Interstella 5555: The 5tory of the 5ecret 5tar 5ystem, 2001)
“When my cousin first made me listen to a sample of this, I exclaimed ‘Dude! What the hell..?! Daft punk? I knew only the hit ‘one more time’ by then. ‘ As I progressively listen to this song I got it. Its lyrics and beats, this song doesn’t take itself seriously not because of being overly repetitive, rather being repetitively original as it goes! Thumbs up!”
