Gorillaz, Deltron 3030, etc.

So I just found out how amazing the Gorillaz are. I wish there were more bands like this. I mainly listen to rap like deltron 3030, dr. octagon, and jurasic 5. but there are some diff types of music i love - example gorillaz. i also really liked the album hypnotize by system of down BUT i did not like toxicity for some odd reason. The point of this thread is to find out if there are other bands out there like these amazing artists?

Well the Hieroglyphics is an obvious one I suppose (same member/s in common with Gorillaz and Deltron 3030).

Del The Funkee Homosapien's solo stuff, too, although personally I don't really like it as much as some of the collaborative stuff.

Where to start =/

-Aesop Rock
-Atmosphere
-Cyne
-ANY of dels solo stuff
-Edan
-Eyedea and Abilities
-Insight
-MF Doom
-Mr. Lif
-Glue
-Pep love get Ascension ok this album kicks ass(he's from Hiero)
-Sage Francis

For instrumentals
-Nujabes quality jazzy like beats a must have
-RJD2
-Blockhead
-DJ Shadow QUALITY

So this is alot of random QUALITY underground anyone who likes gorillaz and del should like this stuff, my thoughts is go to http://www.undergroundhiphop.com/ or Amazon and listen to some sample stuff from those artists and see what you like.
Also a good place to discuss hip hop is the www.MFDOOMSITE.com chat forums alot of different hip hop and sometimes jazz and such its cool check it out.

nice list. cyne is great. i thought i was one of the only ones who listened to cyne. cise star has such a sick flow, real mellow but powerful.
