Topic: The one Daft Punk song you can't stand... (Read 30793 times)

greyhawk80 · « **on:** 08 Oct 2008, 08:05 »

Now, don't get me wrong here. I love Daft Punk, but there is one song that I just can't listen to. That song is "Rollin' & Scratchin'" off of Homework. It just grates on my brain like fingernails on a chalkboard. Its like they made harsh sound just for the sake of making harsh sound. I have to hit skip everytime it queues up.

How about the rest of you? Is there a Daft Punk song that you just can't sit through, no matter how hard you try?

(waits for Jeph's music assassin to slit his throat...)

Technologic, but I think it's because I'd had it slammed into my head by those iPod commercials before I started listening to Daft Punk.

Too much of a good thing, y'know?

öde · « **Reply #2 on:** 08 Oct 2008, 08:57 »

Most Daft Punk.

johnny5 · « **Reply #3 on:** 08 Oct 2008, 09:31 »

a lot of their later stuff doesn't seem to agree with me. alive 2007 made some of them better but i still dont listen to those songs a lot.

also what is up with cadillac using Justice in their commercials and Lincoln using Daft Punk? We're getting dangerously close to those old Mitsubishi commercials with breakdancing passengers haha

I'll be jumping on the "I don't like any of them" bandwagon. Sorry, just find them boring and boring.

Dimmukane · « **Reply #9 on:** 08 Oct 2008, 13:27 »

I can listen to one or two songs of theirs a month. But outside of that it gets kinda of sickening, like eating 4 funnel cakes in one day (something I won't ever repeat). Remixes are prone to be played more (Soulwax's take on Robot Rock was pretty boss).

sean · « **Reply #10 on:** 08 Oct 2008, 15:50 »

Man, how can you guys not like Daft Punk?

That's like saying "oh yeah I have no soul and I eat children. Oh and I killed Santa Clause too."

I love Daft Punk, but Technologic kinda sucks and Robot Rock just gets so annoying after the first few repetitions...

I have never been able to get into Daft Punk.

Probably something off the arse end of discovery. That whole album really dies out at the end, which is something I can't stand in a record.

Dimmukane · « **Reply #16 on:** 08 Oct 2008, 19:21 »

It's not that I don't like Daft Punk, it's that I've heard Discovery so many goddamn times. All the annoying fat cunts I hate that somehow show up at the parties I go to will always demand that something from that album gets played, and then proceed to grind on something or someone who's all of the sudden very anxious to go home.

Clintaga · « **Reply #17 on:** 08 Oct 2008, 19:49 »

See, I love Daft Punk, and Have been listening to it forever, but most of their reduxes from Alive 2007 just suck out loud. However, anyone stating that DP isn't good is basically just jealous that they weren't international Robot Pop sensations 1st, and I dare you to prove me wrong.

sean · « **Reply #18 on:** 08 Oct 2008, 20:59 »

You have basically just destroyed my mind and thought process.

How is it even possible to like daft punk and hate Alive 2007? This just does not compute in my brain.

imagist42 · « **Reply #19 on:** 08 Oct 2008, 21:43 »

Alive 2007 is the only reason I claim to like Daft Punk.

Just throwing that out there.

There is like, one Daft Punk song I think is alright actually, I will say that. That song is called 'Aerodynamic' iirc. Anything with vocals is gash though. Also, there is only one international robot pop sensation.

McTaggart · « **Reply #21 on:** 08 Oct 2008, 23:38 »

Man holy shit there is some dance festival coming up and Kraftwerk are playing apparently.

Fuckin' Kraftwerk.

Trashy french house music is the best french house music though.

So did Homework, really. The songs got retardedly repetitive at the end and became simply boring.
So any of those end-album songs (O HAI "Too Long") or most of the stuff from Human After All.

I ain't mad at french house music. I quite like Fred Falke / Alan Braxe stuff.

That having been said, I don't really like Daft Punk. I guess the plasticity is the point, but that doesn't mean I have to enjoy it. Still, I'd rather listen to Daft Punk than Uffie or Justice or whatever the fuck Ed Banger puts out.

Most of Homework really. I hear they're workin on a new album. Maybe it wont suck.

Are you saying you don't like Mr Oizo? Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaang.

PS have you heard the 11 minute Alan Braxe remix of D.A.N.C.E.? I am listening to it right now in a dark room and it is creepy as fuck.

I used to hate Daft Punk, but I watched Interstellar 5555 and was pretty entertained. Plus, they occasionally do something exciting.

But I'm not too fond of electronic music in general.

I have been listening to Daft Punk when I bought Discovery two weeks after the release. Can not complain about this album but I just dont like Human After All. I am pissed that I have not even listened to Homework or Alive 2007.

Probably "Prime Time Of Your Life"

PS That D.A.N.C.E. remix is not by Alan Braxe, it's the Jackson Remix Do The J.A.H.C.B.

I'm going to have to agree with Khar here. I can't stand any of their songs. It's all incredibly boring, and I really can't understand what people see in their music that makes people flip out when someone so much as says "daft punk might not be as good as you think they are" (or worse).

I tried really really hard to get into electronica/techno/house/trance/etcetcetc/ (insert one of the 40 different names for the same boring "music") when I was about 17, but gave it up due to excessive boredom.

Nothing wrong with electronica in general. Daft Punk are DANCE Electronica though, try some of the other 30,000 subgenres.

Dimmukane · « **Reply #44 on:** 13 Oct 2008, 19:48 »

I think the idea behind the rabid love is that you aren't supposed to be unhappy with happy music. Put it this way: I will sometimes play these guys when I'm depressed or upset about something. No matter how much I do not like them, it's hard to not cheer up at least a little bit. The fans (not all of them, obviously) are taking that and applying it to everything you can say about the band. At least, that's the impression I've gotten from all the Daft Punk fans I know. Besides, I've moved on to other happy music.

Despite this thread being about disdain for various Daft Punk songs, I find much joy in seeing a Daft Punk thread at the top of the Music Talk section.

I think this says a lot about Daft Punk.
