Poll: DAFT PUNK!!

[Eipok Kruden]

I'm not sure how many people here at the escapist go to "wild parties" or night clubs, but I'm sure everyone here has heard of Daft Punk. Now, while I do know quite a few people who hadn't heard, they were soon informed by me and they fell in love. So, what does everyone think of Daft Punk? Personally, I think they're gods in robot suits making techno music for the masses. If you do like Daft Punk, name your favorite song of theirs. If you don't like them, talk about why. Please try not to provide any generic answers.

I like harder better faster stronger and aerodynamic but the rest of them are kind of wierd and scary.

I love Daft Punk.

You are looking at their biggest fan.

They are pretty exceptional for two French blokes dressed up like c3po and Iron Man. Love aerodynamic, especially the tapping solo/riff thing.

 

[mokes310]

They are pretty good. I've seen them live countless times (raver since '96), and each time they've put in a decent performace.

My favorite live DJ is either Dave Clarke or Carl Cox...

I've been recently getting into more techno, but I can't find myself getting into Daft Punk. They're too slow for my tastes.

 

[Eipok Kruden]

My favorite songs are probably Aerodynamic and Harder although I guess technologic deserves some credit. It's so simplistic yet so great.

Daft Punk isn't really "techno" or trance. It's "House" =) They were part of the house movement over in europe, something that didn't happen in the us.

Daft Punk at wild parties or nightclubs? Its a bit slow isn't it? From what I've seen it only gets played in the hours between 7pm and 9pm or as a request (yes I am that much of a stopout that I'll be at a bar/nightclub from around 6pm till closing time (3-4am).

Ditto, but sans they suffix. My favourite is television. The bass just makes people fall over.
That or aerodynamic.

Have you been to one of their shows? It topped my 'act's to see' list after I got Alive. Bloody brilliant. I missed them as I was in France just after they'd done their dates there.

 

[SenseOfTumour]

I 'quite like' them, in the way I like a lot of dance music that you couldn't really dance to.

Chemical Brothers, Orbital, Bentley Rhythm Ace etc. BRA in particular deserved to be bigger, they embraced the idea that dance music can be fun!

 

[Anarchemitis]

They're pretty cool, but I have other bands I like better.

 

[GenHellspawn]

Maybe it's because I saw them right after Tiesto, but they were just sorta average, and kind of annoying at times.

 

[Galletea]

I think they're gods in robot suits making techno music for the masses..

To use the interweb vernacular; win.
Anyway, my favourite track changes from day to day, but I'm loving the Brainwasher at the moment, and Track 5 on Alive where Steam Machine turns into Harder Better Faster Stronger via Around the World. It's awesome.

 

[Danny Ocean]

Although having said all that, I do prefer some of Pendulum's more techy songs. Some of the 'pure' drum and base ones just hurt my head.

 

[Jordan Deam]

"Digital Love" is one of my favorite pop songs of the last decade. Also, they put on a pretty good show

True, but I don't think it's even possible to count how many people request Daft Punk songs. Oh, and have you ever been to or seen Alive? If that wasn't 100% pure awesome, I don't know what is.

 

[Sennz0r]

They're great. I went wild when they played Aerodynamic at my local bar.

I FREAKIN' LOVE THOSE FRENCH MAD MEN!
