Top Five Cartoon Bands of 2007
»
05 Gorillaz. After a rocky start that seemed almost too derivative of bands like Blur, Lovage and Cibo Matto, Gorillaz pulled a Jabberjaw last year with a more experimental, and ultimately more mature, sophomore album. But though lead singer 2D remains a consistent voice, the other members seem to change styles and influences so often that one wonders if they're become soulless avatars, like the Power Rangers or Avril Lavigne. However, this year's EP of b-sides is enough to keep Gorillaz in the Top Five, mostly on the weight of the superb "Hong Kong", written while the cartoon band was actually vacationing in (presumably, a cartoon) Hong Kong.
So many to choose from, only a few that are truly deserving. And then some that are Japanese.

Sloshy has, like, two songs. And one of 'em is a cover. Why? Why not Limozeen?
