It's been a couple weeks since I did the last one of these and for that I apologize. I can't promise I'll be able to do them the same day every week but i usually have 2 days off a week and I'll do one in my music series one day and one in my movie series the other day off (Wednsday this week).​

In high school I spent a lot of time at my friends house and he had music tastes that I wasn't really into before we became friends. One day he played this song for me and I was hooked. There's something about the bass line in this song that I just love and I'ma huge fan of animated music videos so add the fact that Gorillaz does nothing but Animated music videos and they have a high place on my list of favorite bands.​

Easy one for me here, and I'm sure it's gonna be one of the more common choices, but that ain't stopping me.

Yessir, this song blew my mind when I first heard it back in my early high school years, and I became an instant Gorillaz fan. I still am to this day, one of the few bands that I still listen to from my high school days. In fact their debut CD still gets plenty of play from me, a fucking great listen all they way through, it only gets better with age.

I agree with SSC. Same song. I was in 8th grade when this song was huge and I remember being confused by the song title. I was like wtf, "Clint Eastwood?", I don't get it. Turns out there was nothing to get, it was just a really catchy song. I prefer "Feel Good Inc." in all honesty though.

To go with the trend it was Clint Eastwood that got me into Gorillaz. Simply because it was the first song I had heard from them. I was in the 6th grade and hadn't heard anything like it at the time so my father bought me the cd a few days after I heard the song. Been hooked ever since.

That whole first album is phenomenal and I still listen to it often.

Great choice SSC, and it is the same for me. "Clint Eastwood" was the first Gorrilaz first single, and I was really looking forward to it, having been a fan of Damon Albarns earlier band "Blur"- who I still think are the best band he has ever been a part of.

I remember thinking what the hell does this have to do with Clint Eastwood, and the style of song itself really surprised me, but I liked it.

Still a good tune, but my favourite Gorrillaz track is "Dare"

Ok mine is the same except I didn't actually hear the original. The first time I heard the Gorillaz was in a mashup with Broken Dreams, and it took me away. I ended up looking them up, and loving them. I ended up downloading the original Clint Eastwood and then Feel Good Inc.

​

I ending up liking Broken Eastwood more for some reason, even though the quality is a little bit more. It was THE song for my end of 2010. The beat of the Gorillaz mixed with the Chosen One? HELL YES!
