I was just wondering what the wise members of DigitalSpy think of Damon Albarn? Is he a genius? Is he unbearable? Did you use to like him but now quite like him?
Regardless of that, his work ethic can’t be denied these days.

Two recent performances by the man:

Oh yeah, I think he's alright.

Overrated.

I saw him on what I think was The South Bank Show several years ago, and he came across as rather pretentious.

Oh he's definitely pretentious, and he can come across as a bit of a knob, but the guy's basically a genius. He's brilliant at whatever he turns his hand to.

I fancied him when he was in Blur and he's just gotten better with age (shallow...moi?)

Musically he's interesting, and has defo kicked N.Gallaghers arse.

I like Blur, but I think he's more that a bit up himself to be honest.

Yeah, he's talented but he bloody well knows it!

Not sure about his level of talent but he must have one of the worst singing voices ive heard in a dogs age.

I've heard his opera's really good.

blur and Gorrilaz 2 amazing bands!!!! Havent given the Good, the bad and the ugly a good enough listen to yet, but hes yet to put a foot wrong really!

He's the definition of sex on legs for moi.

Early Blur stuff is fantastic, The album leisure is a classic and Parklife is great. For Tomorrow is amazing as are the all the bonus tracks on the single. Chemical world is probably my favourite Blur track though.

After that i lost interest in them and Damon Albarn, He is a very very talented bloke though whatever you think about him.
