This wonderful and massively under-rated 60's band had a big hit with "She's Not There" in the UK, then were ignored by the public until after they'd split up, then getting a massive No. 1 hit in the U.S with "Time of the Season" ,taken from their awesome farewell album, "Odessey and Oracle."Colin Blunstone did lead vocals, you may have heard of him, as he has been a guest singer since on various projects through the decades. Rod Argent, who played Keyboards, formed his own band "Argent" in the 1970's, and had a hit with "Hold Your Head up". The Zombies have since re-formed and i think they are doing tours and concerts all over the place. (or they have been...maybe they have split up again??)more info can be found on the fan site, http://zom.thefondfarewells.com/index.html

Jul 7, 2008 - ... Why are you making such a big deal about nothing. If you like them, cool... if not, than that's cool too. Just don't start an argument over it. There's no point. Live and let live.

Jul 7, 2008 - I love Zombies' music, they're brilliant. but Beatles is the starter of the 'revolution' of the embryonic of all the kind of rock music....
MB300TE Says:
Jul 7, 2008 - The Beatles will always the best. The Zombies and others fight for second. But the English group most often overlooked is the Liverpool Five.Take time to check 'em out.

Jul 7, 2008 - I bought a black mini from the Zombies drummer in 1980. I was a heavy duty punk. He was going on about their career, the car he had had throughout and how he was now working on cruise ships with the band. All I kept thinking at the time was "So what, fuck off you old git!" I wish I hadnt been so punk and listened!
zombfan Says:
Jul 7, 2008 - Working on cruise ships with the band: do you mean The Zombies, on cruise ships? I can't believe this, in the 80's Colin and Rod had their own music carreers.

Jul 7, 2008 - cute story...with a moral. LOL look how much you have grown!-- So don't feel bad now, I'm sure all is forgiven.All those bands that had a few moments of big fame must have suffered in the shadow of the Stones and Beatles. But where is it written that it's better to be rich and famous than making an honorable living making people happy playing cruise ships? and then there's the royalties.....
