Daft Punk always did surprisingly well with the masses, even back in the days when it was making crusty DIY tech-house. But with 2013's Random Access Memories -- the fourth and final album by the French dance duo of Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo -- Daft Punk went properly stratospheric.

Leading off with an absolute monster of a single, the Pharrell Williams- and Nile Rodgers-abetted disco-tastic classic "Get Lucky" didn't hurt the record's chances, obviously, but by working with a large ensemble of live musicians -- including Julian Casablancas of the Strokes, Chilly Gonzales, Panda Bear and Italo-disco legend Giorgio Moroder -- Daft Punk welcomed a whole new audience into the fold, an audience previously not particularly well acquainted with the fruits of the global electronic underground but that could easily get down to Random Access Memories' warm, classicist disco and sci-fi '70s prog synths. "Get Lucky" topped the singles charts in more than 30 countries, while Daft Punk and Random Access Memories veritably cleaned up at the 2014 Grammy Awards. And then broke up. Might as well go out at the top of your game.
