Fair enough minstrel.
You win this time.
But I shall return more powerful then before and reek havoc on your opinions.
You gotta understand that co written credits are for distribution of monies not for actual ideas.
I have watched them perform with Alex on bass.
Everyone concerned is sure Albarn wrote Blurs songs. If you then construe that adding a bass line or drums makes you a co writer then you see why the Smiths broke up.
That is why Noel made no bones about getting sole credit for songwriting and all the monies from sales.
Remember that a band is not famous for someone adding a bass line or doing what they are told to do but for a song been played on the radio while people drive and work.
Albarn is the force behind these acts and if he wasn't there there wouldn't be a Blur or a Gorillaz.
Your point about Wings shows what I mean, it was paul who made wings sell millions but I am sure the others contributed somewhat and helped the songs.
But without Sir Paul (bless him) Wings would not have even got a record deal or existed.
Do you see?
Alex James said that Albarn was the genius and they were like sessions players same as Noel with Oasis.
Although Liam helped his band no end.
