I'll structure the article by discussing the band's creation and the unique concept of a virtual band, then delve into the discography. I'll list the 6 albums (likely including studio albums like "Gorillaz" (2001), "Demon Days" (2005), "Plastic Beach" (2010), and compilations like "G-Sides" (2001), "D-Sides" (2007), and "The Singles Collection 2001-2011" (2011, but perhaps included in the count). For singles, I can mention notable ones like "Clint Eastwood", "Feel Good Inc.", "Dare", etc. For the 136 songs, I can mention that this includes all tracks from these albums and EPs.
Album 1: Gorillaz (2001) – Singles: 5 – Songs: 15
The pinnacle of this decade arrived in 2005 with Demon Days. Produced by Danger Mouse, the album was a dark, sophisticated exploration of a world in crisis. It produced some of the most recognizable singles of the 2000s, including the upbeat funk of Feel Good Inc. and the disco-tinged DARE. Demon Days didn't just increase the song tally; it elevated the band’s prestige, featuring high-profile collaborations with legends like De La Soul, MF DOOM, and Ike Turner. This was supplemented by D-Sides in 2007, a sprawling collection of demos and B-sides that showcased the sheer volume of Albarn’s creative output during the mid-2000s.
