27) "The Mid-Morning Recording"        Gorillaz-'Demon Days'
I always liked Damon Albarn's voice, and back when I first heard the song "Clint Eastwood" I thought it was a new, but really extraordinary song by Blur. I was wrong, but what followed with the first two albums by Gorillaz has to be some of the best music made in the past ten years. Since their first record was surprisingly great, I was a little sceptical about a sophmore effort, and I was mistaken once again. This album is not only better than the first album by Gorillaz, but it is certainly better than one or two of the Blur records. I never thought I would ever say that about Gorillaz, but there you go. The first album is great, but this album is full of amazingly catchy tunes that demand attention. This album even has the great Shaun Ryder making an appearance, so it's a classic already. Due to their incredible visual and musical standards they most likely will never take on a full blown tour. To satisfy some fans though, they decided to film a live version of this entire album on DVD. It's a good thing to track down, but I really wish they could play live more. Bring on the next Blur album, bring on another album by The Good, The Bad and The Queen, bring on the third Gorillaz!!!
