It are groups like Daft Punk that make us love putting together this website and more specifically the list of those worth considering for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Daft Punk are arguably the most influential House Music act ever, but to just to paint them with that one label is such a misnomer. Comprised of two Frenchmen (Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo and Thomas Bangalter) who are always in robot masks, Daft Punk has put forth a very diverse collection of music that is far more than just danceable tunes. Inspired by disco, rock, funk and hip hop, Daft Punk has collaborated with some of music’s greatest legends and has been hailed as musical innovators.

This will be very interesting to see what push they receive (if any) from those who decide the Rock Hall’s fate.
