Ranking Every Gorillaz Song

This is my rankings of every Gorillaz song inspired my Andrew Cox's video, "Ranking Every Kanye Song"
Every Song off their solo albums, not including interludes and without the remix albums.

Man, this needs more views. Btw: loved the video my guy

[@mitchell3483]

The irony that songs were ranked lower for having sad vibes, yet your #1 is On Melancholy Hill

[@shinymew1213]

To be fair melancholy hill didn’t strike me as sad and more as a laid back chill tune with a happy chill undertone. I agree with the top picks but I didn’t watch the vid cus I don’t have time for that I just skimmed but most are saying he ranked songs lower for being sad. I agree I don’t really like sad amongst. I like slow slings but not sad outright. Unless I’m going through something I never listen to them, that’s why desole and humility are in my top 3. Gorillaz has alot of good sad/ slow songs that aren’t for me. Ranking them lower just for that imo seems shallow. It’s his opinions and for the top 10ish I agree with his picks but I can admit that rock the house and maybe something like tomorrow comes today are good songs but they are either not my kind of Rhythm or are slow. But I do have to disagree with melancholy hill being sad. It was just slow and chill, but music is subjective after all.

[@BlueRupees]

@@shinymew1213 I massively disagree. It’s got a forced happiness in the back. The lyrics depict a very naïve and desperate reach to feel content and wanted. “Well you can’t get what you want, but you can get me.” It’s like someone realizes they can’t be the person they love’s #1 but let’s them know it’s okay to be their backup. I love it because it’s real and raw but also sad.

[@shinymew1213]

@@BlueRupees to me gorillaz has never been the most inspirational and deep lyrical musician group. I think their melodys and musical tracks are what make them shine, in songs like Pac-Man and humility for my first few listens I couldn’t even understand them, I always have to listen quite a few times to get the song right, and even for something like Aries I had no idea they were saying high and low tide, always thought it was “party’s on” or something like that. Even for momentary bliss. These songs work because even though the lyrics aren’t decipherable all the time they still sound good and fill that lyrical hole to make the melody work. Now for melancholy hill, that song isn’t really hard to understand but I feel like the music video makes the song much more enjoyable. Whenever I listen to it I picture that, just a group of people traveling underwater and stuff. If you don’t like it for it’s bland lyrics I can totally get that, to me cheese lyrics can ruin even the most banger of songs with awesome tracks but I think the mood I’m in when I hear melencholy hill is relaxed and chill and it just gets me in a good peaceful mood, I barely pay attention to tone lyrics, in fact there are barely any lyrics at all, I’d say most are just repeated and just there to kind of put some texture to the music to make it feel like your reminiscing or listening underwater

Many of the songs you put at the bottom of the barrel (Amarillo, Out of Body, Ticker Tape) are songs that I absolutely love. And putting Melancholy Hill at #1 is the most basic take ever. It's a good song but I probably wouldn't even put it in my top 10. It's not even the best song on Plastic Beach.
