moby dick, classic american literature, took a generation after the death of Melville before it became appreciated at all. it was almost 100 years before it became regarded with respect at all, and now it's the Great American Novel. this is because it's themes transcend. sure we're not whaling anymore, but seeking revenge upon god, nature, the universe, etc, will most certainly drag you down to your doom

daft punk isn't even that popular. their new album is for ????? reasons (certainly not the musical quality) and they have ANNOYING songs that ANNOYINGLY get stuck in your head but that doesn't make them a classic. if that was true marilyn manson would be classic.
the beautiful people the beautiful people
edit: juding by your own criteria daft punk has sold a few million albums total. their newest album, at 3 million sold worldwide (i rounded up), is by far their most successful
