Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1803 Joined: 8 Nov 2008     | I like harder better faster stronger and aerodynamic but the rest of them are kind of wierd and scary. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 3085 Joined: 13 Jul 2008     | I love Daft Punk. You are looking at their biggest fan. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 3106 Joined: 28 May 2008    | They are pretty exceptional for two French blokes dressed up like c3po and Iron Man. Love aerodynamic, especially the tapping solo/riff thing. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1598 Joined: 13 Oct 2008  | 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... |
On the Record  Posts: 5490 Joined: 13 Aug 2008    | 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. |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 1227 Joined: 29 Aug 2008 | My favorite songs are probably Aerodynamic and Harder although I guess technologic deserves some credit. It's so simplistic yet so great. |
Paperboy  Posts: 30 Joined: 21 Dec 2007     | Its more funky than your avarage techno. And I do like the funk. |
Beat Writer  Posts: 180 Joined: 12 Sep 2008   | 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. |
Press Junketeer  Posts: 429 Joined: 26 Sep 2008   | 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. |

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. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1879 Joined: 11 Jul 2008   | 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! |
On the Record  Posts: 7319 Joined: 23 Dec 2007   | They're pretty cool, but I have other bands I like better. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 2078 Joined: 1 Jan 2008   | Maybe it's because I saw them right after Tiesto, but they were just sorta average, and kind of annoying at times. |

To use the interweb vernacular; win. |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 3413 Joined: 28 Jun 2008 | 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. |
Features Editor  Posts: 325 Joined: 11 Jan 2008   | "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. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1084 Joined: 25 May 2008  | They're great. I went wild when they played Aerodynamic at my local bar. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1445 Joined: 26 Mar 2008   | I FREAKIN' LOVE THOSE FRENCH MAD MEN! /start singing One more Time |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 1227 Joined: 29 Aug 2008 | *starts listening to Too Long* I'm just gonna sit back and get some work done :) Daft Punk has a song for just about everything you can think of (except for fancy dinner parties). |
Press Junketeer Posts: 429 Joined: 26 Sep 2008 | Also the fact that Daft Punk are house and not techno is confirmed by their wiki http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daft_punk
sounds about right no? |

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.
