Daft punk rules..
I even have the Daft Punk Pyramid on my arm:)
Chemicalbrothers are okay.. but the beats are borring, in comparance to Daft Punk.
Also, daft punk inspired tons of new DJ's.. who are now praised for their skills.
Daft punk reinvented techno, electro and house in their own way, which is used in almost every set, no mather wath sorth of dj is spinning!!

Definitely Daft punk!!

Chemical Brothers by a land slide.

The fact that my dad friends with Tom and he gives us free tickets may be altering my opinion, but only slightly.

daft punk hands down. not only is this band long lasting, innovative, rythmic and melodic all at the same time, it also puts on one of the MOST dynamic, visually appealing live shows of all time. and i dont even like techno.
