15. Daft Punk, Random Access Memories, (2013)

One of the breakout acts of the 1990s, this electronic music duo is one of the driving forces behind the rise of French house. Despite having been around for the entire 21^st century thus far, Daft Punk had only released three albums prior to Random Access Memories, which resulted in a lengthy yet highly anticipated wait for this one.

While this Daft Punk masterpiece played tribute to the past, when analog systems dominated the electronic scene, it also featured futuristic-sounding tracks that proved that this duo are progressing. This album was a weekly chart-topper in the United States, the United Kingdom, and a whole host of countries in Europe and Asia. To top it all off, this album won the Grammy Award for Album of the Year in 2013.
