Gorillaz
Gorillaz began as a cartoon band, created by Damon Albarn and artist Jamie Hewlett, and the joke soon became one of the most inventive pop projects around. Albarn's laid-back melodies, dub basslines, hip hop beats and Britpop melancholy blend with an ever-changing cast of guests.
The self-titled debut gave them 'Clint Eastwood', and Demon Days, produced with Danger Mouse and featuring De La Soul on 'Feel Good Inc.', went darker and bigger. Plastic Beach brought in everyone from Snoop Dogg and Lou Reed to Bobby Womack and Mos Def, and Humanz and Cracker Island kept the collaborations coming, with 2D, Murdoc, Noodle and Russel still out front.
