Does anyone else here like Thom's solo stuff too?
Yeah
I remember enjoying Tomorrow's Modern Boxes from 2014 the most out of his entire solo output, though The Eraser and Anima are both good albums in their own right.

Although not a solo piece of music, I really like this tune, I think it reflects his solo sound more than Radiohead's sound.
Even the album art is reminiscent of The Eraser.
 
keyedest song ever
Demon Days in my unhumble opinion is one of the best albums released in the 21st century, possibly even in the top ten of albums released this century. I love bands and music groups that create bodies of work that are hard to label or fit into one genre, but not necessarily because of the genre they're playing in but rather they have a genuinely unique sound that's distinctive, so them playing within those genres only adds to the sound.
You can see this with bands like The Beta Band, some people like to call them genres like Folktronica, or Bongo-Psychedelia, and shit like that, and even if you can't describe what they sound like you know immediately what they are when you hear it. That's how I feel about early-Gorillaz music.

They had an other-worldly but captivating sound that was their own, and as for the guy behind the music, Damon Albarn. I think what he did with Blur was great in it's own right but his material with Gorillaz really cemented his true talent and capabilities as an artist, and credit to those who worked alongside him for all those years.

Fuck, to think this album is turning twenty years old this year is mind blowing. It still sounds and feels so fresh, it's also depressing to me in a sense to go from an album that was so maximalist, constantly fusing genre with genre, and filled to the brim with texture, and an overall 'clean' sound production-wise, to nowadays where a lot of indie music is to do the exact opposite; make it minimalist, make it basic and acoustic, make it sound underproduced and lo-fi, and make it sound like shit.
