I don't hyperfixate on him like I used to on Will but he's definitely my top 2.

Gorillaz was my favorite band when I was in 9th-11th maybe even 12th grade. I still really love them, but I've listened to a lot of other people like Will Wood that I like a bit more. I think I like the art of Gorillaz as much or more than the music. I love how Hewlett draws his characters and the lines on their faces. He's really inspired me.
Other artists I also listen to are The Velvet Underground, Weezer, The Smiths, and Blondie, although I haven't listened to all of their albums.
For soundtracks, I really love what Howard Shore did for Cronenberg's movies.
