Gorillaz Songs & Greatest Hits

Clint Eastwood

You can’t talk about Gorillaz without talking about their biggest and best songs and hits. But no discussion of Gorillaz’ best songs can be talked about without mentioning arguably their first big hit single, “Clint Eastwood”.

The album features a hip-hop sound and beat style that starts with a classic Ennio Morricone spaghetti western sound. It is definitely a bop that holds up even now in 2022 at the time of writing. And the official music video was a strong introduction to the animated world of what became “The Most Successful Virtual Band”.

19-2000

Next, let’s take a look at “19-2000” which was the first Gorillaz song encountered by many fans who grew up during the late 90s to the turn of the century. It was a time when Cartoon Network often played animated music videos late at night and this song was played among other popular artists like Daft Punk.

It’s a cool laid bank and funky song that is undeniably catchy and toe-tapping with an incredible video that reminded many younger youths of Sonic or Speed Racer.

Feel Good Inc.

Finally, take a look at Feel Good Inc. A song collaboration between Gorillaz and De La Soul. 

This song features the classic Gorillaz style, a booty-shaking buffooner, a cool hook, and an attitude that exemplified its generation. And let’s not forget the amazing verses from De La Soul. It earned a Grammy for Best Pop Collaboration and is arguably the band’s most successful single. In fact, it broke the top 10 in 17 countries and was just four spots away on the Billboard Hot 100.
