48 : Damon Albarn

The really annoying thing about Damon Albarn is he makes great records.

At least Bono makes it easy for you to hate him. He's a cock of the highest order and makes crap records ...done & dusted.

Damon Albarn is also a cock of the highest order yet I love the stuff he does. In a career almost spanning 20 years he's only made one album I flat out hate , that being the morose dirge that is Think Tank. Granted The Great Escape is pretty bad too but even that's listenable after a load of booze & an extended carry on film marathon.

Everything else about him makes me want to punch him in the face. the smugness , the arrogance , he just has an aura of a man who you'll dislike the moment he opens his mouth.
And yet he makes brilliant records.

So basically , he's not on this list for being a twat and because I hate him , it's because the hatred is aimed at myself for liking the music of someone like him.
