I know Ive discussed Blur, Gorillaz, and now the Good, the Bad, & the Queen, on several occasions, however, it's remarkable on how all three such acclaimed bands were founded or creations of one person, that being the legendary Damon Albarn.....

Here's a slight video perspective on how his career has evolved:

Blur back in 1990 before they were signed to their contract

There are three other clips of them from that same exact show.... they were beyond wasted that it is unreal....

Blur during their creative height from the Parklife/the Great Escape era:

Blur in '99 promoting their then new album "13":

Then... of course..... the Gorillaz:

He also recorded a solo album of out-takes called "Democrazy" and here's one of the better songs from it... it's soo beautiful:

Now... the Good, the Bad, and the Queen:

I didnt necessarily include the best clips that featured him, however, provides everyone a glimpse on how his career has evolved.... He's a legend of our generation.. ranks up there with Ray Davies, Pete Townshend, John Lennon, Buddy Holly.... such a musical genius indeed...
