Daft Punk (Official Thread)

[HelpMeSleep]

surprised there wasn't an official thread already, so I thought I'd make one.

favorite albums? I'm obsessed with Human After All right now.

[WhoSaidThat?]

I'll have to get into them some day.

[HelpMeSleep]

I'll have to get into them some day.
definitely do it. and I think they've been recording new stuff too which is pretty sweet.

[showbiz]

Homework is just made of win

As is everything else they have ever done...EVER

Oh, and alive 2007 owns so hard, and it makes it oh so sweeter because i was there.

[GoodSausage]

Gotta love discovery. I got that album when it came out and i was like 9, still love it to this day.

[Robototron]

Oh, and alive 2007 owns so hard, and it makes it oh so sweeter because i was there.

I was there...twice. Saw them in LA and it was so good I had to see them again at Vegoose. Sooo sick.

Human After All took a while to grow on me, but once it did, I loved it. I think the remixes album helped a little. Homework is still their best by far, though.

[chipdip18]

I've only got Discovery, but Aerodynamic is one of my favorite songs ever.

[tehdangerdave]

I absolutely love Discovery and Homework. Just fantastic albums.

[Swayback]

I absolutely love Discovery and Homework. Just fantastic albums.

This.

Cannot wait for them to announce some US tour dates for this year.

Favorite songs: Phoenix, Face to Face, Digital Love

lol what

Not going to happen.

[HelpMeSleep]

lol what

Not going to happen.
why not?

[chipdip18]

It's all about Aerodynamic, such a phenominal song.

[Robototron]

why not?

The Alive 2007 tour is over completely, and given that their previous tour was 97-98, I doubt they'll be playing anytime soon. I believe their former manager even said that they have no plans to tour, whatsoever.

[HelpMeSleep]

will check it out. I just downloaded Discovery last night.

[chipdip18]

I love it, great album. I'll probably move onto Homework next, from this thread.

I listened to Homework last night and was actually a little disappointed. I dunno. I'll have to spin it again.

[chipdip18]

Really? Interesting. What album would you reccommend then?

[Robototron]

If you start getting into DP through their later albums Homework will probably take some time to get used to. Discovery is definitely a much poppier, accessible album, but spin Homework a few times and you'll really start to get into it.

It's an album that, unless you're already big on House & Techno, will probably sound a little more repetitive and less interesting at first, but it starts to really open up the more you listen.

[chipdip18]

Ahh i see, well i definitely will need to get into more Daft Punk before that album then, more accessible for now.

[Robototron]

I'd recommend checking out Alive 97. It basically does to Homework what Alive 2007 did to Human After All, which is make it 10 billion times more awesome. The live version of "Da Funk" is crazy good.

[chipdip18]

Alright, i'll keep that in mind. I've heard some crazy things about their live show, that is for sure haha. And how they only have four released pictures of them or something?

[Robototron]

Yeah, there are like a handful of photos you can find in Google Images from the 90s. It wasn't until Discovery that they starting appearing in public only in costume, so before 01 you can see some live footage and stuff like that of them.

It's not really that big a secret though, you can see recent photos of them on photoblogs and stuff like that from afterparties and shit. The night before they played in LA I met one of them at DJ Falcon's gallery opening.

[HelpMeSleep]

Really? Interesting. What album would you reccommend then?
yeah, I'm gonna give it some time and come back to it I think. I've been loving Human After All though.

sweet. I'll check that one out too. it actually isn't even listed with their albums on itunes.

[llwilliamsll]

Daft Punk is playing at my house.

[Jefferson Rank]

I'm glad they won the grammy. I called that one.

My favorite albums by them are Human after All and Discovery. So good...

[weownthestreets]

Discovery FTW.

[Jefferson Rank]

Does anyone know if they're planning anything else soon?

[Robototron]

Rumor is they're working on new stuff, but you know how the internet is when it comes to rumors.

[gnarly sky]

Good duo.
Though not the best.
For Daft Punk, for every good song they have, they have 3 bad ones to follow it.

Check out Boyz Noize and Justice if you guys like Daft Punk.

It's Boys Noize. What Daft Punk songs would you say are bad? I mean, you're basically saying that the majority of their albums are bad, considering it's not like they have very many songs on them. I'm guessing you like the singles and not much else?

Excuse the typo.

Sure alive is epic. But it's almost like their greatest hits.

Good:
One More Time
Aerodynamic
Around The World
Rollin' & Scratchin'
Robot Rock
Prime Time Of Your Life
High Life

Not good:
Something Aboust Us
Da Funk
Technologic
The Brainwasher
Steam Machine
Make Love
Daftendirekt
Indo Silver Club
Phoenix
Short Circuit

And I know their more, but I don't really know the names of the ones I don't like. And I didn't include their Daft Club and Human After All Remixes.

Boys Noize and Justice just solid albums.
I dig it.

[Robototron]

Including Da Funk in your not good list is normally an automatic fail, but judging by your likes and dislikes (and the fact that you singled out Justice and Boys Noize as two artists DP fans would like) I'm assuming what you like about Daft Punk are their more rockist, pop elements and not so much their more traditional House stuff. Which is pretty understandable.

[Jefferson Rank]

For me it's kind of the opposite. I can get pop beats anywhere, but Daft Punk is pretty unique with some of their more techno-ish songs. I like Justice also, but Daft Punk just is better overall.

[anthonydarko]

I've been playing Discovery like crazy as of late. Such a good record.

[chipdip18]

I've been playing Discovery like crazy as of late. Such a good record.

I agree, one of the few albums, if not the only album of this genre i can really listen to.

[MyWorldEntire]

Alive 2007 is so good.

[cryates]

So, I'm on a DP kick right now.

[kazuma_ootaro28]

Will have to listen to Homework later, but "Around the World" rules.

[MyWorldEntire]

I need to see them live.

[SandManTEND13]

I've been in a huge DP craze right now also!
and yes I also need to see them live
I heard Bonnaroo might be trying to get them this year, I already got my ticket so I'm hoping this might come true. It may not though, who knows!

[MyWorldEntire]

I heard Bonnaroo might be trying to get them this year

This alone might get me down to the Farm this year.

[DejaNew]

Been on quite the Daft Punk listening streak lately. I wish I knew some similar artists.

[pandasaurus151]

the live cd is the best

[T-bag]

Daft punk are not punk.The name says punk but they are not.They are annoying rave music.Rave music is not punk.They steal their melodies.I know because my friend showed me. He is punk.You are not. Neither are daft punk.

[anthonydarko]

So yeah, been listening to Discovery all day today. Shit rules.

[mattyrocks]

I've been playing Discovery like crazy as of late. Such a good record.


the album is guaranteed to put me into a better mood.

[cshadows2887]
