Daft Punk

 

With their thoroughly modern disco sound — a blend of house, funk, electro and techno — this French duo were one of the biggest electronic music acts of the late 1990s and 2000s

 

Guy Manuel de Homem-Christo and Thomas Bangalter wore shiny droid costumes at every live show (and only allowed themselves to be photographed in said costumes) but their music was only sometimes robotic: Daft Punk were as influenced by rock bands like AC/DC as they were by classic disco acts

 

Daft Punk toured throughout the 2000s, making a stop at the 2008 Grammys to perform with Kanye West (on "Stronger," which sampled the duo's "Harder, Faster, Better, Stronger"), and recording Alive 2007, which leans too much on recent work, but is still a lot of fun
