I remember when their first album came out and everyone I knew was talking about it and loved it. I also remember thinking "uh oh, this is going to be bigger than Blur". Blur's band members were a bit pissed off in the beginning, but you can't hate someone for being successful. If you dislike someone, let it be because you don't like their content or music. Gorillaz first album still sits up there as an album I can listen to almost any day. A lot of their later stuff sounds like garbage to me, but so what. No one writes good stuff at all times. I like the songs of theirs that have less rap and less guests. Snoop Dogg song in 2010's Plastic Beach album is... not for me.
