Nothing Gorillaz has done comes close to Think Tank (which is a fantastic album, one of the best of the 00s), Blur or Parklife for me. To call them a run-of-the-mill lad band, as somebody said in this thread, is dumb in my opinion, like them or not they were always looking to develop and experiment with their sound, introducing all manner of styles and genres into their later work in particular. I love Blur, but merely like Gorillaz. Plastic Beach is very good, granted.
