Believe it or not, Daft Punk did sample Mr. Manilow for “Superheroes.” But wait, it doesn’t stop there!

Palms Out Sounds compiled thirteen tracks from which Daft Punk sampled from, including songs from Sister Sledge and Electric Light Orchestra. The ten others are artists I’ve never heard of, but assuming they are of late 70s/early 80s disco/funk/R&B “fame.” Like the Commodores meets Earth, Wind and Fire, meets…errr…Barry Manilow?

Eh, nevermind. Check out the songs and decide for yourself if Daft Punk continue to reign supreme in electronica, or if they’re pulling a Vanilla Ice.
