Daft Punk = awesomeI saw them at an early gig in the U.K. (Around the World had just made it into the charts) and I was hooked from then. I do think there is some decent stuff now, but there seemed to be a lot of choice in the 90s, especially with 'Dance' music. But my folks would probably say the same about bands in the 60s vs the 90s.

Oh yeah, there's definitely good music being released, just a case of looking for it.I've heard tell Daft Punk are releasing a new album next year, with Nile Rodgers and Giorgio Moroder. I'm hoping they do something a bit more like Discovery, I wasn't too keen on Human After All. It was good, but...

...I know what you mean.Here's hoping eh? As for 90s stuff, where do/did you stand on the Sneakerpimps? For me, Becoming X summed up the 90s - the blend of electronica (hate that term) with guitars - a real moment for me!

Sneakerpimps... they were the ones that did Six Underground, right?LOVE that track. Moloko, Massive Attack, Coco and the Bean, Portishead, anything even remotely like those from the 90s (trip-hop?) is a sure winner.

Yes!I went to live in Bristol on the basis of Massive Attack and Portishead (among others). Yes - the 'pimps did Six Underground. I only saw them because another band pulled out (and I'm glad they did). Trip-hop... I thought things could not get any better. And then Snow Patrol came along (I really don't like Snow Patrol).

Ace :DI think the best of the genre was left behind in the nineties, which is both a good thing and a bad thing, depending on how you look at it. Of course, there could be loads of new acts out there I've never heard of, keeping it up.
