Gorillaz will make it in. not only is their music constantly changing and inventive, but how many other people can pull off a animated band and get as much success as they did? it would be a great representation if they got in

Ever since Humanz/Now Now, Gorillaz have grown more popular over time. Maybe they'll get nominated?

Spotify: Most Streamed Albums of 2001

Gorillaz’s self titled album provided some nice fresh air in 2001, with a somehow surprising success, marking Damon Albarn’s second big project after Blur.

Quite predictably, this debut album was most successful in the UK where it peaked at number 3 and went on selling enough to reach triple platinum status as per the BPI.

It also had very solid charts stats in other parts of the world, even if it failed to make number 1 in any major country, and a number of platinum awards in several countries.

Spotify’s modern stats prove that this album is far from forgotten and, leaded by the track Clint Eastwood (which was the first and biggest single of this era), it has maintained a very strong level of popularity.

Out of 450 million streams across the music platform, more than 253 million come from this song, although the whole of it is fairly big.

So will the characters get in or just Damon?

@ FHD

You could ask the same thing about Dethklok. Technically, the actual band members would be added when they get in at some point other than Damon. Then again, the Simpsons is on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

If this induction were to happen, you would induct both Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett since they both created Gorillaz. Still, I would much prefer a Blur induction to happen first.

Cant wait to see them among other greats. They deserve it!

I liked blur. For which the lead singer is from. They put a middle finger to the industry but not showing there faces until later . Even in music videos and on stage
They show that British music is alive and will and will always be

Gorillaz, modern innovative music.

I would love to see the Gorillaz nominated this year, in their first year of eligibility. Such a major part of my childhood since I was born in 1995. Demon Days is an amazing album.
