Daft Punk Missing From NME’S 100 Albums Of The Decade

By Groupie | November 18, 2009

NME have just revealed their Top 100 albums of the decade as selected by their discerning staff. We all know NME love to cause a fuss with their genre bias, sensational headlines and controversial lists about everything and everything, but when you’re talking about 100 albums in a decade which has produced a lot of important music outside Brit/indie rock, there’s some you just can’t neglect.

Ie. Daft Punk’s ‘Discovery’ from 2001, whose layering, use of recontextualised samples and pure production mastery played a highly significant role in shaping electronic, pop and dance music for the rest of the decade.

On a different note, NME get continuously bombed every time the word Fischerspooner rears its head, after the magazine called their ‘#1′ album “the best thing to happen to music since electricity”. No sign of such a momentous achievement in their list.

There are still some inevitably great moments in the list of course, including Arcade Fire’s ‘Funeral’ which came in at 7, Dizzee Rascal’s ‘Boy In Da Corner’ at 26 and Bloc Party’s ‘Silent Alarm’ at 38. Luke Steele even makes it in with The Sleepy Jackson’s ‘Lovers’ at 92.
