"By combining Pharrell's pop songwriting chops with Rodgers' funk/disco guitar and their own smooth "French touch" house grooves, Daft Punk engineered our decade's most perfect dance single, one that downplayed the "E" in EDM and helped inspire a renewed interest in dance music made not just on laptops but with actual instruments. The universal appeal of "Get Lucky" was almost without precedent — everyone from kandi kids to soccer moms to Stephen Colbert embraced the track, meaning it's probably the only song on this entire list your parents have heard of (unless you have really cool parents)."
