Abstract

Few would deny that Gorillaz are the greatest cartoon band of all time. The brainchild of Blur front man Damon Albarn and "Tank Girl" creator Jamie Hewlett has sold millions of albums, headlined Britain's huge Glastonbury music festival and scored a No. 2 chart debut earlier this year with its latest album, "Plastic Beach." Then again, there isn't much competition. In honor of the animated band's forthcoming set Saturday at Oracle Arena, we look at some the best-known pop acts that first took shape when ink hit paper.
