Think about the titles of their albums. "Homework" was about paying tribute to the classic Chicago and NY house music of artists like DJ Sneak, Todd Edwards, etc, which they successfully brought to a wider audience. And most of those early tracks (Da Funk, Around the World) didn't contain any recognizable samples.
"Discovery" was about paying tribute to/ "discovering" (giddit) the overlooked, cheesy soul, funk and pop music of the late 70s. On a very few of the tracks they used large chunks of the samples, but on most its more subtle.
Like how they sampled Barry Manilow on this track I think is pretty clever and really doesn't "rip off" the original in any way. You could say, not even really necessary, but it fits with the idea of the album.

It is cute to see you guys so naive...ooh, they used a sample, they have no talent. Go back to listening to your CCR;D

...the length of this thread built me up for nothing... congrats... dude knows how to work w/foam and blinking lights...
... I admit it was probably fun to build - but the hard-on delivered in this thread doesn't suit my mental vagina

I disagree

nothing wrong with sampling per se, but when 99% of listeners understand it as daft punks original music, and maybe some of them only by chance learn that this music actually has a different author, who is not credited, I dont think daft punk deserves that cult status
fuck em

why do peeps get so uptight about sampling?
do you only listen to classic rock? cause if you do, there is still a lot of very similar melodies there as well..

Well let's face it everything is copied from something...I agree it's a little surprisingly exactly how much of some of their best known songs are sampled from old funk and disco tunes, but if they aren't getting heard, then you could say Daft Punk are doing those artists a service.

if he has the molds why not make 10 and sell them on ebay? I'd drop a few hundred on that!
