Does it exist? help!
SeanBateman:
Zerodrone may be the best poster in the music forum right now, although I find I never ever agree with him.
imagist42:
While I stress the part about how he may be the "best" poster, I will note that I have agreed with him once on the point that Daft Punk is not all that great.
Then I listened to Alive 2007.
Jackie Blue:
What's wrong with the Chemical Brothers, anyway? Their first two albums were solid gold, for stupid big-beat. I went back and listened to "Setting Sun" the other day and it was all like FWAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH. Awesome song.
I like my electronic music to try and creep you out and scare you, not make you feel all stupidly happy and shit. Fuck a bunch of techno-hippies. One time a bunch of us were on Ecstasy in a house and this one girl made us listen to George Acosta or however you spell it. All those stupid vocal samples like "We're looking for the KEY. The KEY to the DOOR." Like whoah, man.
The dumbest thing that drugs have ever made me think I enjoyed was Sublime. But let us never speak of it again.
mediumrare:
Granted, I went at it like a dick, but I seriously don't see why you're telling people that they should have been listening to FSOL in the 90s instead of Daft Punk because, as you say, YOU like your dance to creep you out. FSOL are GREAT, but I see your presence in this thread as similar to someone coming into a "Music similar to CSS" thread and telling people to listen to Khanate. Makes no sense?
Of course my presence in this thread could be boiled down to "I'm antagonistic for no reason" so I suppose I could stop right about now.
Jackie Blue:
I would never presume to tell people what they should listen to, I was merely pointing out in my typical zany way that there is more electronic music out there than Daft Punk and Justice, and if even one person got into FSOL because of what I said here, my work is done.
Also, I am not exagerrating when I say that I literally don't understand why people who otherwise have good taste in music like Daft Punk, especially why they like them so much. If anyone could explain the appeal other than "They make good house music" I'd listen to them. But there are literally hundreds of house music artists which, to my ears, are as good as Daft Punk and so I see it as an odd cultural artifact for people to only like Daft Punk.
It's kind of like people who go on about how awesome Public Enemy is but don't listen to any other rap.
I'm going to listen to Ice-T's original "99 Problems" now. Yo.
