What does Daft punk mean to you?

[daveman247]

Hate their style of music. I don't like anything that sounds like a nes that is glitching all the time.

Thats a very general view of electronic music :/ Thats like calling all music with a guitar in it rock.

You can state your opinion without making fun of others. Maybe thats why people get annoyed?

They have a couple OK tracks...but overall I'm not that into them so saying Daft Punk means very little to me.

It's those guys with the helmets, who did things and then did the Tron Legacy soundtrack recently. Yeah. That's about it.

 

[GrandmaFunk]

as a project, Daft Punk always struck me as being much more on the DJ/curator side of things that an actual producer or "band"(for lack of a better term for creative acts)...if you compare their biggest hits with the original samples, they are barely altered at all.

I'm a big fan of French House in general but Daft Punk itself became too much of a manufactured image, which is weird since that's the exact opposite of what they were trying to do in the first place.

then again, I do have an appreciation for the image..i love the robot suits and their videos have always been awesome.

and lastly, Mothership Reconnection is the fucking bomb, that is all.

The main song of theirs that I like is Harder Better Faster Stronger. It's such an addictive song for one with such little lyric variation. But it is basically one massive innuendo.

I'll just echo others and say the Tron soundtrack is awesome. I haven't even seen the movie but I have the soundtrack. Derezzed is just such a good tune.


Though as far as electronica goes Justice is usually my go to band.

 

[Poetic Nova]

Doesnt come close to the stuff I like, in other words: I don't like it.

Music threads are nothing more than troll traps. You can't state your honest opinion of the band in question without people coming out of the woodwork to tell you are wrong. Really annoying is when people try to convince you as to why they are so important. Pretty much doesn't matter if I hate them. Have no interest on whether or not they are nice people in real life. You can like their music without trying to get everyone to like them and you better expect people to come out and say they hate them.

Well, nobodies attacked eachother so far
And you just described an opinion, music truly is subjective so its pointless to try and convince others of its good-ness.

They're one of those electronic acts who manage to be a little more than sequenced blips and beeps. I think even if you don't like them you still know them because what they come up with is distinct.

Hate their style of music. I don't like anything that sounds like a nes that is glitching all the time. Pretty much not a fan of any music that has to survive with a gimmick. People want to dance to it and jog with it in their Ipod, so be it. of course don't get pissed that I made fun of them. Whenever a music thread pops(I use the word music here with a grain of salt) people get pissed. Don't want people to state their opinion, don't make a thread like this. of course I just don't like this wave of shit that is Techno and Dubstep, every other thing under the sun. Not a fan of how high it is flying right now, it's always been popular, i don't know.

ya, see the problem isn't that ppl don't want others to state their opinion, it's that they don't want those opinions delivered in a needlessly denigrating tone which only poisons the discussion.

To me I will always think of that annoying super repetitive 'one more time' track.

I know they're good at what they do and for certain people their music really strikes a cord, but this is all I really ever hear -


It pretty much sums up everything.

Completed Mass Effect 3 yesterday. When the credits rolled I just wanted to hear this.

 

[Owlslayer]

I love Daft Punk. When i was really young, saw one of those Interstella 5555 videos, and somehow, it got stuck to me. Later, when i was older, i started searching for their other songs and, well, was not disappointed. So, yeah. One of my favorite musicians out there.
