Gorillaz
The world's best-selling wholly animated band.
Gorillaz was thought of by
Damon Albarn from Blur and Jamie Hewlett, the creator of Tank Girl, and other comics (including one based on the lyrics to "Common People" by Pulp), and they set it into effect. There are no real-world counterparts to each of the members (aside from that 2D is generally considered to be the Damon Albarn of the group), and, in fact, it takes a veritable army of people to bring Gorillaz to life -- an army that changes considerably between albums. They're perhaps known most for their hooky songs and innovative, excellent music videos. In 2005, they released the long awaited followup
Demon Days to their first album.
