For my Damon Albarn fans out there... Gorillaz vs Blur
 

What do you consider be his best work?

"Both" is not an option. There is a gun to your head and you must decide.

Demon Days is one of my favourite albums, and as much as I like Blur, no single album of theirs comes within Demon Days' orbit.

I've always wanted to like Blur a lot more than I actually liked them. Gorillaz are pretty decent though.

Blur are a pretty uninspiring run-of-the-mill British lad band. Gorillaz was at least something new and fresh, and more geared towards my individual taste, so going with them.

Has to be Gorillaz. Their debut album was absolutely immense, not sure there is a bad song on it and for me anyway it has stood the test of time. Their other efforts were solid if not spectacular. Blur have some top songs, but that's all and I've never been drawn into playing an album of theirs over and over.

I don't like any of Blur's albums by themselves but their greatest hits collection is okay and I've gone through that a couple of times.

So my vote went to Gorillaz.

I was never really a big fan of Blur's music, even after I was old enough to see the irony of "Song 2". Gorillaz had some great singles off their first album but I never really got that into it. Demon Days is an absolute classic in my opinion and easily one of the gateway albums that would later lead me into the electronic and hip hop genres.

So Gorillaz for me, even though I think the best album by Albarn was the soundtrack to the movie Ravenous.

Demon Days is perfect. Nuff said.

Considering the only album I've listened too by Blur is Think Tank, which is one of my favorite records, and Demon Days and Plastic Beach by Gorillaz which I both enjoyed quite a bit, I don't have much to go off, but Blur takes my vote cause Think Tank is brilliant.

Blur by a million light years. Absolute no brainer.

I quite like Gorillaz though.

I had a hell of a time deciding between the two, but in the end I realized no matter how conflicted I feel I'm still voting for Damon so I don't feel as guilty having voted for Gorillaz.

Gorillaz were/are better of course, but I still love Blur.

Gorillaz just sounds like another alternative rock/hip-hop hybrid. Love Blur though, or at least a few albums, so I voted for them.

I've never cared about Blur at all. They're irrelevant to me.
But I don't like being bullied so I'll take the bullet.

I like Gorillaz but I love Blur. Gorillaz I loved initially but found it only bore a brief honeymoon period of intense saturation before I was satiated. Blur I still love 13 as much as when I first heard it and though their other albums don't have quite the replayability they still have some excellent songs.

No competition. Blur was a good band but in terms of creativity and enjoyability Gorillaz blow them out of the water. Also Demon Days will always have a place in my heart as the first album I ever bought.

I'm a fan of Graham Coxon & Alex James but Albarn is a c*nt.
I think it's pretty obvious where my vote is going.

I don't really know much about Alex James other than the fact he really, really, really likes cheese. He seemed to do a media tour a few years ago where he was on every channel from The One Show to Babestation telling us about cheese. Or did I dream that up?

I used to be a buyer for a supermarket, one of my responsibilities was being knowledgeable about cheese, so I'm biased.

Used to be, you gave up that job!?

You like him in spite of said cheese ramblings then? Or do you like him because of them? For whatever reason I also associate Alex James with Brian Cox and I just can't help but think "twat" whenever I see either of them now.

Yeah, Alex James is a bit of a cheese-crazed madman. I can't really pass judgement on what he was actually like when Blur were doing anything meaningful though because I'm too young to know him as anything other than the bizarre "gentleman" farmer he's become.

Definitely prefer the Gorillaz. Once I saw a documentation about them, called "bananaz" or something like that? which convinced me even more.

Damon is all that is beautiful in the world but I actually prefer the Good, the Bad, and the Queen to both

I've seen Albarn live some time ago, he's an extremely talented musician and whatever he does is awesome. However if I have to choose, I'd choose Gorillaz

I definitely prefer Gorillaz, even though it took me a while to get into them!

Gorillaz are too strange for me, so I prefer Blur

Blur. Parklife.

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.

I agree Demon Days is a classic, that song about the mountain called Monkey still gives me chills.
