With the next phase of Gorillaz coming up sometime this year or the next, let's debate and rant about which is the best Gorillaz album!

But first, answering some questions before they're asked...

1. Where's G-Sides and D-Sides?

This thread is only debating the main albums from the band, so any B-side albums do not count. Granted there are some pretty good b-side songs, they still don't count.

2. Where the hell's Laika Come Home? This thread is flawed!

No, Laika Come Home is just a dub remix album of the band's debut album and that's it, although the members of Spacemonkeyz do collaborate with Gorillaz, this does not count as one of their main albums.

3. What about the singles like DoYaThing?

Did I mention the singles? No, I didn't. Some of the band's standalone singles may sound cool, but if they're not featured in an album, then they're not in the poll.

Honestly, I couldn't decide between Demon Days and Plastic Beach they both sound so amazing, the debut album was okay though, but it sounded more like the foundations of the band before they really started taking off. I might reconsider allowing a second vote, but I need to check to see if I can do that first. EDIT: Okay, I guess I can't seeing as I'm not a mod, but maybe when the next album comes around, I might do a second part with that album included.

People! People! Whichever you choose, can we all agree that The Fall - though somewhat ambitious when you look back at how it was put together - probably shouldn't have happened?

Yeah, since when did people ever found the iPad useful?

I'd love for Daft Punk to do a collaboration soon, something about the two of them working together just sounds right.

Demon Days is truly a classic, from the intro to Last Living Souls was a great opener, then when it got to Don't Get Lost In Heaven/Demon Days, that was one of the best endings to an album I ever heard. The last song sounded so sombre yet majestic.

Speaking of Last Living Souls, the live visuals for that song were a bit weird. In the Demon Days DVD, it was just disembodied heads of the band members, but during the Plastic Beach tour, it was a couple of zombies in a wasteland.

They wanted Engelbert Humerdinck for Plastic Beach, but his manager refused on his behalf. But Humperdinck turned around and fired him for it, so I guess he'd be up for it.

Honestly, that would sound great...I mean if you have an artist who once sang 'Lesbian Seagull', you know someone has to collaborate with him.

Also, I'd love to hear another collaboration with the Hypnotic Brass Ensemble, last year, I saw 'Brothers Hypnotic' (which also featured Damon and his record label, 'Honest Jon's') and I was surprised how far they've come before the Plastic Beach tour, I mean they performed a gig with Prince in Dublin.

I wish there was more coverage of the Plastic Beach Tour, the gig they did in Glastonbury must've been amazing to see in-person.
