Although Gorillaz only “exist” in the virtual world, their success in the commercial world was quite extensive. Created by Blur frontman, Damon Albarn and visual designer, Jamie Hewlett, Gorillaz (along with their multiple collaborators) the blend of Alternative Hip Hop, Trip Hop and Electronica received nearly as much critical love as Albarn’s band, Blur did, and had their not been an alleged falling out between Albarn and Hewlett, their chances for Hall of Fame induction would grow. Saying all that, would a stoic institution be ready to induct someone who technically doesn’t exist? Well, we know a Hall of Fame that would!
