Daft Punk hope to collaborate with Brian Wilson

[hypehat]

You have a dim view of collaboration, methinks.

'I mean, Pet Sounds?! Smile?! Why was Brian trying to pass off Tony Asher & Van Dyke Parks' songs off as his own? He didn't write the lyrics! He even got other people to sing them!'

I am no fan of Daft Punk, though I know people who share a good deal of my musical tastes and who *are* fans of Daft Punk. So there is something in their music.

Whatever the merits of them....it shows that a current, hip, relevant band recognises Brian as the genius that he is...and would like to collaborate with him. It proves Brian is still relevant himself because he's still influencing the young'uns.

From reading about, it seems Daft Punk also like Paul McCartney but the guy they really revere is....Brian Douglas Wilson.

Brian is this mysterious pop God in a sense that anyone really can at least appreciate his contributions to music and immense musical creativity. Imo I see far more modern groups listing Beach Boys as part of their inspiration than any other band. Sure Beatles are great, but hard to transcend their musical style to modern music. Beach Boys is timeless.

Honestly, it is remarkable

The incredible range of people who have come out and credited Brian and The Beach Boys as a major influence. Daft Punk, Taylor Swift, Katy Perry, Fleet Foxes, Kanye West. Just to name a few. The man is loved by all.
