During the band’s final years, Murphy was accompanied by Al Doyle (guitar, percussion — also of Hot Chip), Tyler Pope (!!! / Out Hud) (bass), Nancy Whang (keyboards) and Pat Mahoney (drums). Members that played live with Murphy under the LCD Soundsystem name before this time include Phil Mossman (guitar, percussion) and Phil Skarich (bass).

LCD Soundsystem gained attention with its first single, “Losing My Edge”. The song, which sounds like the boastings of a music geek put to an electronic beat, received acclaim in 2002. Murphy released a double album simply titled LCD Soundsystem in February of 2005 to critical acclaim. The first disk of the album contains new music and the second contains re-releases of songs previously released as singles. The opening track “Daft Punk Is Playing at My House” entered the Top 40 in March 2005.

On December 8, 2005 the group received nominations for two Grammys in the category for their self-titled album and in the Dance category for “Daft Punk Is Playing At My House”. This album was also chosen as one of Amazon.com’s Top 100 Editor’s Picks of 2005.

    Ehm, taste is not something much can be said about, since humans can differ so much. But overrated would be far from the term I'd use, it's just well appreciated. As it should be, IMHO!

    How can you call someone an idiot just for pointing out LCD is overrated I was going to say the same, being an act who just play electronic-dace-punk music and have over 1,200,000 listeners, I think his clerly get more cred then I can understand.

    you're not alone, guy below me. He is the ultimate in 'guy everyone thinks is a genius because he's well-connected to other people that are more talented'. He'd be an afterthought musically if it weren't for his connections, but i'm sure he's a pretty cool guy otherwise.
