The Britpop War And Beyond

Blur was defeated by Oasis in the great Britpop war in 1996(mainly fueled by egos and the British tabloid media), but the lead singer Damon Albarn was such a huge talent that even his small side venture, the cartoon band Gorillaz, hit mainstream success a few years later. 

Records like “Clint Eastwood” and “Feel Good Inc.” sold millions of copies and catapulted the virtual band to the Guinness Book Of World Records.
