Gorillaz
Gorillaz
Understandably dated, to my ear. I remember it being influential and important when released originally, but I found it mostly boring. A few catchy tunes. My opinion has been biased by overplays. This is gas station music at this point.

Queen Of Denmark
John Grant
The title track melody is very similar to Keane's 2004 release "Somewhere Only We Know."
Numerous passages are lifted from Beatles songs throughout - it could be passed off as homage.
It could also be that all notes and all combinations have already been recorded.
