How do you define Pop? I would say that Daft Punk's overt manipulation of image and how they present both their music and themselves is up in the higher echelons of pop music alongside Kraftwerk, Sparks et al. In fact it's rumoured that they have taken the latter's robot persona to another level - in that they don't actually play at their own gigs.

Imo Daft Punk as pop as > Chemical Brothers, Moby, Prodigy, etc. are pop their last album was very techno, it sucked, but it wasnt really pop at all. its funny that "one more time" is a pop song, yet romanthony has so many other tracks that arent. that album also had Todd Edwards and DJ Sneak on it! so one album out of 3 had overt pop tendencies, and even those were well within the realm of house and techno music. i may not like their albums aside from homework, but i still dont think they are a pop group. tom For all the latest news and comment visit www.telegraph.co.uk.
