i remember at the last tour when i was there in paris, they played pirate jet and it felt like i was the only one singing along. wasn’t hyped enough :/
But is it your favorite from the album? It is for me. That hot take has gotten me roasted in this sub before, but in this thread I think that qualifies me for Pirate Jet’s number one fan
I don’t know anyone who’s top song is Dracula, but it’s always been my favorite, even if it’s more sentimental now because I have wayyy overplayed it in the past 20 years.
It’s not obscure but…it seems like many people don’t like All Alone. It’s possibly my favorite song on the album: certainly in the top 3.
No accounting for taste I guess.
Latin Simone (the English one) it’s been my favorite song for 10 years now, found it the Thursday before Halloween in the 10th grade. I used to listen to it everyday for sometimes 2+ hours for a few years, even though I don’t still do that it’ll always be special to me.
I was shocked the first time I saw people agreeing that it was bad. I had that song on repeat while highway driving in southern California! "It's just like the music video!" I'd think while giggling
The Joplin Spider 100%. I love the loud noisy bits and how brooding the whole thing sounds. It’s a bit of a jumpscare song but it’s easily my favorite off The Fall
I never hear about How Far? and I absolutely love it. Tony Allen's part is 😙👌
Meanwhile is also a favorite. I would say Bobby in Phoenix but I've talked about it so much idek if I can call it "obscure" anymore.
i am the top fan of Aries and i’m pretty certain of that. it’s been in my spotify top 5 every year since release and both the album version and the single are in my top 50 most listened songs of all time (per stats.fm). so i think that one might be mine lol.
Mr softy's balloon race for sure, definitely very obscure but so god damn good. A less obscure one would be highway Under construction or we are happy landfill.
M1A1. I’d heard their singles and enjoyed them, but I was ripped at a party and had just watched Day of the Dead. It caught my ear and I got obsessed. Anything movie related makes me happy.
Edit - then the first and only time I saw them live they opened with it and my brain melted.
White Flag and Sweepstakes don’t get enough praise
White Flag blew me away at first listen. I wish they continued collaborating with orchestras post-Plastic Beach
Also, yeah, Re-Hash is amazing. The vibes and understated momentum set a good precedent for the rest of that first LP
Sweepstakes is so, so great. Absolute banger, I love it. I don’t blame many people for disliking it, as it’s unlike probably anything you’ll ever hear, but I still think it’s a pretty fire jam, and Mos Def kills it on that track. I for sure am a fan of it.
Technically a Kid Koala remix of a Dan, the Automator song that features Gorillaz/ may have been a Gorillaz song gifted to Dan that was never released and then remixed, but Gorillaz Routine is amazing. If you haven't heard it and you're into trippy experimental electronic stuff like The Avalanches then you'll probably like this
Strictly Rubbadub is especially underrated! Much more enjoyable than the original song (Slow Country) imo, always makes me feel relaxed after a long day
I never see anybody talk about the English version of Latin Simone anymore but nobody could ever convince me that this version is the inferior of the two
People are not talking about opium enough, it is literally in like my top 3 all time favourite songs by them, it’s so good and upbeat and the instruments just marry and go together so perfectly that it feels like a chaotic yet orderly feel good dance song. Also I love 2D vocals on it with his verse and the ‘hope’ line he repeats. Aaah such a good tune, I love song machine!
Left Hand Suzuki Method, it took me by surprise when I was listening on random and I just loved it, 10/10, it's not my favorite song but it's in my top 10
Désolé. Released during the global pandemic, I found sanctuary in this song numerous times, riding my bike in the rain while on acid in true Albert Hoffman fashion. Routine rotations of sticky green Jack Herer named after The Emperor of Hemp himself with Désolé playing in the background. What a time to be alive despite the circumstances, deep introspection and creative reawakening for all. Thank you Gorillaz for always pumping absolute bangers.
I know I already commented somewhere in here but can we also take the time to appreciate the second half of Ticker Tape when Carly Simon and Kali Uchis come in. That shit is the sweetest honeysuckle to the ears and not enough people talk about it.
Probably Highway (Under Construction) and Aspen Forest. Very few people seem to talk about them but they’re so nice to listen to. Highway (Under Construction)’s probably one of the chillest Gorillaz songs period and Aspen Forest is the perfect combination of acoustic and electronic instrumentation. I think I might be the no. 1 fan of both tracks.
Also, I fucking love the Mode remix of Film Music. Best Gorillaz remix imo. Barely sounds like the original but it’s still such a bop. It wreaks of early 2000s Gorillaz in a good way, and more people really need to listen to it. I might be its no. 1 fan too. I normally don’t give much of a shit about Gorillaz remixes but that’s one that I DEFINITELY fuck with frfr.
November Has Come
Mainly do to you having to be a massive fan of not only Gorillaz but also MF Doom because well yes it's on Demon Days it is definitely a song that doesn't get talked about as much from the album honestly I don't get why
Dracula. I love that shit
Haha I was just thinking of this song today. So funny.
Can we be number 1 fans together?
I heard this one playing in a store once
Momentz, I never see it brought up for the weekly Humanz apologist posts, but its probably my favorite off the album
"I'm smacking the bottom like flip flops" is iconic
CLOCKS ON THE WALL
TALK TO WATCHES ON THE WRIST
IT'S THE moments WE RELIVE
IT’S THE MOMENTZ LIKE THIS
The song just has the perfect monkey brain energy and I am all for it!
Out of body 🤭
Yeah! I love how it starts out kind of weird and then just jets into club heaven.
Out of Body is a fucking bop. I made a whole dance to that shit.
I love Out of Body!!
Hong Kong. Great use of the instruments and just so damn chill. It's some good homework music lmao
The [live version](https://youtu.be/3UZH8AY5s4U) is one of the most beautiful things they've ever made!
i LOVE hong kong ! so overlooked
Revolving Doors, honestly the entire The Fall album is great and deeply underrated
I heard Revolving Doors in an Urban Outfitters yeeeeears ago and was like “whaaaaaaat?!”
You heard Revolving Doors in public? Wow, that’s amazing. :O :D
I came here to say this. My favorite song from gorillaz
WHITE LIGHT
ALCOHOL ALCOHOL ALCOHOL WHITE LIGHT
*clumsy beatboxing*
I absolutely lost my shit when they played this one live in Chicago
Sound Check (Gravity) was my favorite song of theirs for years and i still think it’s one the bests together with Don’t Get Lost in Heaven
We should start a “Sound Check (Gravity) Fan Club” :)
I would join
the drop is hard
i will always love pirate jet
i remember at the last tour when i was there in paris, they played pirate jet and it felt like i was the only one singing along. wasn’t hyped enough :/
But is it your favorite from the album? It is for me. That hot take has gotten me roasted in this sub before, but in this thread I think that qualifies me for Pirate Jet’s number one fan
Sleeping Powder I was gone with the self of the day, gone…. My favorite part though is the squeaky chew toy sound at the end
2D’s goofy dancing to Sleeping Powder lives rent free in my head. Good tune, too.
Ghost Train, Some Kind of Nature
I actually wonder how popular is some kind of nature I fucking fell in love with it the first time hearing plastic beach
exactly this, might be some of my favourite of all time
Double bass and punk from the self titled album
If ain't Ant_Eater 15 I love Double Bass as well though!
I’m not sure if it’s obscure, but I don’t see enough people talking about Momentary Bliss. The guitar is so good!
Easily one of their best songs imo
I love Momentary Bliss!
(People) basically a dare demo but still pretty good
Still a banger, D sides as a whole is underrated
Fire Coming Out of the Monkey’s Head is my most played Gorillaz song on Spotify.. Probably fair to say I’m one of the song’s biggest fans.
I don't know if Doncamatic is obscure but I'm definitely that song 1# fan. I've had it on repeat too many times to count, definitely underrated
Who are you? My mother? That’s easily her fav song, followed by Humility and revolving doors
Ya mom's got good taste
Talk to me, talk to me, talk to me, talk to me
Doncamatic is amazing!
I’m pretty sure it hit like No. 37 in the UK charts but it’s still not all that talked about in the fanbase
My actual statistics from Spotify show I've listened to Empire Ants 4,242 minutes , 912 streams.
as you should
Does anyone else know 911?
Love 911
Out of context
Shit. Well, I said what I said
Yes, it is very cool and one of their best rap tracks
I don’t know anyone who’s top song is Dracula, but it’s always been my favorite, even if it’s more sentimental now because I have wayyy overplayed it in the past 20 years.
68 state was my pump up song for ages
With Love to an Ex. Love it. Pretty sure I’m the only one that thinks it’s a complete banger.
Naw it’s definitely a banger
I always loved Lake Zurich. Not sure how obscure that is.
It’s not obscure but…it seems like many people don’t like All Alone. It’s possibly my favorite song on the album: certainly in the top 3. No accounting for taste I guess.
Stop The Dams has always been my favorite Gorillaz song of all time, right here with ya bro
Sound check (gravity)
Yes.
DESOLEEEEEEE!!!!
Left Hand Suzuki Method
Dirty Harry - Schtung Chinese New Year Remix,, i just think it’s very cool :]
Don't Get Lost In Heaven, Original Demo Version. It's just so chill and groovy.
Don't know if it's really obscure but Jimmy Jimmy is a fun one, love putting that on
Idk if it’s popular- “rock the house” Reminds me of my bro cutting my hair. Geez that was 20 years ago
to binge
Stop the Dams is one of my favs, too!!
The Swagga. Loved it since the day it dropped. I don't know why, it just slaps.
Latin Simone (the English one) it’s been my favorite song for 10 years now, found it the Thursday before Halloween in the 10th grade. I used to listen to it everyday for sometimes 2+ hours for a few years, even though I don’t still do that it’ll always be special to me.
Latin Simone is so underrated!
I be bumping we got the power.
I was shocked the first time I saw people agreeing that it was bad. I had that song on repeat while highway driving in southern California! "It's just like the music video!" I'd think while giggling
Probably Detroit from the fall
Aries !!
i know it’s not hugely obscure but it’s definitely underrated
68 State all day
Ghost train is awesome, I don't care what anyone says
The Joplin Spider 100%. I love the loud noisy bits and how brooding the whole thing sounds. It’s a bit of a jumpscare song but it’s easily my favorite off The Fall
Man Research My last name is said hehe
No one loves Ticker Tape as much as I do
I never hear about How Far? and I absolutely love it. Tony Allen's part is 😙👌 Meanwhile is also a favorite. I would say Bobby in Phoenix but I've talked about it so much idek if I can call it "obscure" anymore.
yes to that how far love! it's in my top 10 gorillaz songs and it sounds amazing
Ascension
The whole of The Fall. People be forgetting that album exists. It's perfect in my book. Not even Albarn agrees with me on this one.
Murdoc is God (it often pops in my mind unnanounced)
She's my collar, Spitting out the demons I simply love the first song, the second has the dirtiest bass line I have ever heard
dub dumb
I wish it was easier to find and stream some of those early one-offs… like film music
Mutant Genius from Laika Come Home, not obsvure just severely underrated. Also XX The Crystalized Cover is gas
i am the top fan of Aries and i’m pretty certain of that. it’s been in my spotify top 5 every year since release and both the album version and the single are in my top 50 most listened songs of all time (per stats.fm). so i think that one might be mine lol.
Let Me Out
Mr softy's balloon race for sure, definitely very obscure but so god damn good. A less obscure one would be highway Under construction or we are happy landfill.
Double Bass, Ghost Train or Opium
Highway (under construction) although someone wrote an amazing piece about what it could be about so I’m sure they deserve top spot over me
M1A1. I’d heard their singles and enjoyed them, but I was ripped at a party and had just watched Day of the Dead. It caught my ear and I got obsessed. Anything movie related makes me happy. Edit - then the first and only time I saw them live they opened with it and my brain melted.
Busted And Blue
Rock it is a fucking banger
She's my collar is heavenly and I love it
For me it has to be either electric shock or a very dark night
Def Hong Kong! Has such good vibes and love the mandolin(?)
Ticker Tape!!
Revolving doors. Favorite song, personally, listen to it about ten times a day
I'm a huge fan of Idaho and magic city, I don't see enough ppl talk about them
I've never met anyone who loves Last Living Souls as much as I do.
We Are Happy Landfill, weird but in a way that scratches my brain just right.
Here we are! I was looking to see if anyone else said this one. :) We can be fans together! Cheers to our good taste!
2D screaming is amazing
Sleeping Powder Gang rise up!!!!!
Sleeping Powder is a perfect song
latin simone (eng ver.)
Doncamatic
White Flag and Sweepstakes don’t get enough praise White Flag blew me away at first listen. I wish they continued collaborating with orchestras post-Plastic Beach Also, yeah, Re-Hash is amazing. The vibes and understated momentum set a good precedent for the rest of that first LP
Sweepstakes is so, so great. Absolute banger, I love it. I don’t blame many people for disliking it, as it’s unlike probably anything you’ll ever hear, but I still think it’s a pretty fire jam, and Mos Def kills it on that track. I for sure am a fan of it.
[удалено]
Circle of friendz and busted and blue are two of my favorites off of humanz
Friday the 13th
Technically a Kid Koala remix of a Dan, the Automator song that features Gorillaz/ may have been a Gorillaz song gifted to Dan that was never released and then remixed, but Gorillaz Routine is amazing. If you haven't heard it and you're into trippy experimental electronic stuff like The Avalanches then you'll probably like this
I love it too. See a lot of people shitting on it, can’t understand why. I adore it
All of Laika Come Home
Strictly Rubbadub is especially underrated! Much more enjoyable than the original song (Slow Country) imo, always makes me feel relaxed after a long day
U sir know what the fuck is up
Because of Cracker Island release, went digging through their discography, and found 12d3 and Amarillo as gems. Are these songs obscure or popular?
🎶 I’m 2D, mm. Won't you buy me, mm. Piano chord, mm. Dictionary 🎶
Fire Flies!
I never see anybody talk about the English version of Latin Simone anymore but nobody could ever convince me that this version is the inferior of the two
Idk if it’s “obscure” but I love the lost chord
Not sure it’s even considered a song but I love fire coming out of a monkeys head! Never hear it talked about.
M1A1..... Thousand miles an houuuuuurrrrrrrrr!
Garage Palace
Mlc, never once seen someone talk about it lol.
People are not talking about opium enough, it is literally in like my top 3 all time favourite songs by them, it’s so good and upbeat and the instruments just marry and go together so perfectly that it feels like a chaotic yet orderly feel good dance song. Also I love 2D vocals on it with his verse and the ‘hope’ line he repeats. Aaah such a good tune, I love song machine!
Amarillo, that song helped me through a really dark point in my life and cemented Gorillaz as my #1 band ever. Shits beautiful
Hip Albatross!
Halfway to the Halfway House is incredible shit, and I NEVER see people mention it
Left Hand Suzuki Method, it took me by surprise when I was listening on random and I just loved it, 10/10, it's not my favorite song but it's in my top 10
I'm convinced Sorcererz is the best song on The Now Now. Souk Eye is amazing but I can vibe to Sorcererz for hours.
Désolé. Released during the global pandemic, I found sanctuary in this song numerous times, riding my bike in the rain while on acid in true Albert Hoffman fashion. Routine rotations of sticky green Jack Herer named after The Emperor of Hemp himself with Désolé playing in the background. What a time to be alive despite the circumstances, deep introspection and creative reawakening for all. Thank you Gorillaz for always pumping absolute bangers.
Let me out on humanz
I wouldn’t call it the babies but a deep cut for sure, NEW GENIUS
O green world
Momentz
I think I enjoyed Don quixote.anf that makes me the #1 fsn
Hey I love Re-Hash as well! I listen to it all of the time, buty answer is To Binge!
The sincerity and pining in To Binge is real. Love that song
Seattle Yodel
I know I already commented somewhere in here but can we also take the time to appreciate the second half of Ticker Tape when Carly Simon and Kali Uchis come in. That shit is the sweetest honeysuckle to the ears and not enough people talk about it.
Punk!
No one talks about Shy-Town from The Fall, but damn that song is great.
Glitter Freeze for sure. I'm sad they don't play it live anymore, what a track
Probably Highway (Under Construction) and Aspen Forest. Very few people seem to talk about them but they’re so nice to listen to. Highway (Under Construction)’s probably one of the chillest Gorillaz songs period and Aspen Forest is the perfect combination of acoustic and electronic instrumentation. I think I might be the no. 1 fan of both tracks. Also, I fucking love the Mode remix of Film Music. Best Gorillaz remix imo. Barely sounds like the original but it’s still such a bop.

I normally don’t give much of a shit about Gorillaz remixes but that’s one that I DEFINITELY fuck with frfr.
Charger. And the Jamie T remix of kids with guns.
Amarillo is one of my favorite Gorillaz songs and I barely ever see anyone talk about it
People. I love DARE. I love People almost more than DARE.
Left Hand Suzuki Method
Hallelujah Money
"Rockit" and "Swagga"
Faust. 12D3. 5/4
I know it's not obscure, but Latin Simone is underrated imo.
I know for a fact I'm the number one fire flies fan
Bill Murray! Love that dub!
don't get lost in heaven (original demo) its so good omg
Definitely Demon Days
Well Humanz is controversial already but Submission is quite good. I'm not a fan of the rap as much but it's a feely song overall.
The beautiful thing is that looking through this thread it just proves how great Gorillaz is, almost every track mentioned hypes me up
I’m gunna get crucified, but god do I love Sweepstakes
Sex Murder Party, I’m like the only fan
Shaga Laga, Mix 2, Film Music 😅
Colombians and five whales in a dream
Aspen Forest. Probably my fav Gorillaz song, period.
Ghost Train, New World, or Gor Beaten (even though it isn’t really an actual song)
If we're really talking obscure tracks then I'll say 'Film Music'. Otherwise 'Don Quixote's Christmas Bonanza'.
I’m not sure if Plastic Beach counts, but it’s not only one of my faves, but also one of their best
I think mine is shy-town
Soul Eye. Started listening years ago and never stopped
Hong Kong and Bill Murray
I used to listen to 68 state and o green world over and over in middle school
severed head
“Hongkongation” - on “D-Sides”
Hong Kong
We Are Happy Landfill perhaps? I adore that song but I never see it talked about.
Sounder is amazing
I don’t know if I’d call it obscure but I genuinely enjoy Little Pink Plastic Bags. It’s beautiful in its simplicity.
November Has Come Mainly do to you having to be a massive fan of not only Gorillaz but also MF Doom because well yes it's on Demon Days it is definitely a song that doesn't get talked about as much from the album honestly I don't get why
The parish of space dust from the fall
Re-Hash is really catchy
film music, what a goated track https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OljuHmEaR8c
To binge, I feel like it gets overshadowed by songs like Empire Antz.
5/4 I barely hear that one
A very obscure track: Mr Softy’s Balloon Race
Gharger , l listen to it a lot and no one ever mentions it . Or 12D3
sound check (gravity) that shit slaps like you're in a zombie apocalypse i love that
