85. Gorillaz
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!

The Bullet Points

  • Eligible Since: Wednesday, 01 January 2025
  • Country of Origin: United Kingdom
  • Why they will get in: They have the hits and the critical respect
  • Why they won't get in: They aren't "real".  Would the characters accept the induction?
  • Nominated in: Never.
  • Essential Albums: Gorillaz (2001)
  • Our Five Favorite Songs as Chosen by Each Member of the NIHOF Committee: Feel Good Inc. (From Demon Days, 2005)
