These guys blow the roof off. Songs written 40+ years ago still hold up to this day and decades to come. Going to red rocks this summer, how cool would it be to see them there!
I still have to listen to them!! Everything they did was magical & I'm sad that so few born after me realize how Blessed to be alive to hear them! l mean, we are able right now to explore music from so many genres & decades.. to understand how incredible this band is!!! I especially adore, as a die hard Romantic who swoons at melodies sung in the perfect voice...ahh...& words like theirs always melt my heart...how could I not LOVE the Zombies! I was born in spring 1969 on a cliff in a rebuilt Hospital after a Tsunami destroyed it... in Crescent City, Del Norte California... Maranatha!❣️😢🙏🏻 🔜📯🎺⤴️🧬🌫️👸🏻🤴🏻👑🎉🥳🐎🎼🎶🌎🌍💞💓 ☺️🥰
10 great songs, and very varied. One (or 2, 3, 4, 5 etc) is missing: "Hung Up on a Dream", closing song on side A on the album. Also "Girl Help Me" (incredible song) and the classic "Can't Make up my Mind" -a Chris White classic! I loved them since I bought "Odessey" (discounted) in 1970.
I grew up in that age of incredible music. . . .and the Zombies were one of the GREAT groups. . .problem is there were so many GREAT groups that many are not remembered . . .but I sure remember them . . .Yo!I did a article on the hot music of the 1960's and found, and this would be not complete, about 75 incredible musical groups just in rock. . .not to mention what was happening in jazz and rhythm and blues.
Many people (especially younger) do not realize how much these groups of this era were way head of their time making ground breaking progress in the music they made. After all that is all there was back then and that is why they are so precious to those who still enjoy them even to day. So go ahead call them Old Fashion, but we know where the roots of today's good rock music came from, show some respect. :)
The instruments and recording methods were not as good sometimes but the songs could touch you, make you wanna dance, sing or even just think about stuff. Good old songs and new songs will do that. I think some are timeless and other songs are just a present fad and fluff which fades with time.
@@taistingtheair1368 totally agree man. Beatles, Stones, Animals, WHO etc...the list goes on..Here's my two cents worth in regards to where the sound, or ,the' Soul of the sound' derived from. African/American people have always stood out musically with a 'sound of their own. I believe that the roots of their sound comes from the utter despair, hopelessness, persecution, depression, etc experienced during slavery, No surprise then that the Blues came to be, and the intricate and sometimes angry sound of Jazz. Both express emotion. In comparison, England had been devastated during WWII by the bombings and a. Depression followed. These musicians had lived through or had been affected hugely by both events. I believe that those events influenced the sound, style, lyrics,and SOUL of the musicians of this era. P.S " fad and fluff which fades with time." Couldnt have said it better.
Love the modal changes in "She's Not There" - listen carefully to the chorus, Rod Argent alternating between major and minor chording every other measure. Subtle but effective!
My favorites are 1. It's alright with me 2. She's not there 3. tell her no 4. time of the season 5. what more can I do 6. summertime 7. I don't want to know 8. sometimes 9. care of cell 44 10. Maybe after he's gone I'm a fan of there first stuff.
Saw these guys in may of this year,the signed tour poster is behind me as i write,i have odessey and oracle on cd.just ordered care of cell 44 reissue on 45 from discogs,because the b side,'maybe after he's gone'is my fave song at the moment
& still out there kicking it in a city near you. My list would be much different but that is what is great about the Zombies, there is such a long list to pick from. Something for everybody. & if you get their latest work, you won't be disappointed. It captures their sound & style perfectly.
My top 10 would be 1. Brief Candles 2. This Will Be Our Year 3. Maybe After He's Gone 4. Imagine The Swan 5. Walking In The Sun 6. Hung Up On A Dream 7. A Rose For Emily 8. Beechwood Park 9. She Loves The Way They Love Her 10. Friends Of Mine
1: Time Of The Season 2: She's Not There 3: Butchers Tale 4: Care Of Cell 44 5: Tell Her No 6: Summertime 7: Sticks And Stones 8: I Gotta Get A Hold Of Myself 9: Beechwood Park 10: This Will Be Our Year
4 me tops ten song done by the zombies are i love you, summertime, going out of my head, the way i feel inside, whenever you are ready, tell her no, shes not there, time of the season, what more can i do, i gotta get a hold of myself
the zombies are an incredible band. I am currently obsessed with the album odessey and oracle... im 13, so all my friends are like "taylor, taylor, thats so depressing", but i dont care!!:] My favorites are brief candles, time of the season, beachwood park, a rose for emily, shes not there, and thats in no particular order:]
Yes, Taylor!! Great comments!! Similar comments have been thrown at The Moody Blues from back then too, who are also Phenominal musicians AND singers/song writers!!! Kudos, Bro!!
I was a HUGE Zombies fan thru the 60s!! She's Not There & Time of the Season are true Masterpieces! I believe She's Not There could be made into a true Heavy Metal Jam for sure!! I believe I'd move Tell Her No up to #3 or 4 on your top 10 list, tho!! Thanks much for this! A # of yrs ago I heard & read several times that the group sorta disbanded & a few members either joined up w/ or started new bands. Is this true?! MetallRockOn, Mates!!! Thanks again much!!!
1-i gotta get a hold of myself 2- any other way 3-tell her no 4-shes not there 5- the way i feel inside 6-time of the season 7- i love you 8- i want her she wants me 9- whenever youre ready 10-girl help me
i love the Zombies so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They were not overlooked or underrated. Most likely when people heard them on the radio, they taught they were The Beatles. They sounded like them. I realized they were not the Beatles after they had been on the radio a couple a years. No doubt they deserve a place on that British Invasion era.
@Thomas Bowen: 'Whenever You're Ready' was a sizable hit in the Providence, RI AM-radio market in the Fall of 1965 - at the same time as The Stones 'Get Off Of My Cloud' and 'Over And Over' by the DC5. It is one of The Zombies great records, IMO - along with 'She's Coming Home'.
The fact of the matter is in every generation for reasons not known, some bands don't make the dizzy heights of there peers, it matters not, there are many fantastic bands around now, but will never be household names, that's life!
The Zombies are playing a worldwide livestream on September 18. veeps.events/TheZombies_YT tickets are only $20. You should see them! They're filming it from Abbey Road Studios in London.Once in a lifetime opportunity!
Rough top 10 in rough order... 1: She's Not There 2: Whenever You're Ready 3: Brief Candles 4: Hung Up On a Dream 5: Leave Me Be 6: Beechwood Park 7: Tell Her No 8: I Want Her She Wants Me 9: Friends of Mine 10: One Day I'll Say Goodbye (song that morphed into 'Maybe After He's Gone')
The best video is the one with blond babe operating the apparatus that transforms David Mccalum from beast back into young scientist as "she's not there" plays
Mine is.............. ''Gotta get a hold of Myself'', I Love You, Sticks and Stones, Woman, I Must Move, Going Out of my Head, Can't Nobody Love You, What More can I Do and, I Remember When I Loved Her.
Nr 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, no good Maybe you are young only number 10 & 1 are good. Pay attention: 1. I cant make up my mind 2. I love you 3. How we were before 4. I remember when i love her 5. The way i feel inside 6. You really got a hold on me 7. Goin out of my head 8. She's not there 9. Tell her no
These guys blow the roof off. Songs written 40+ years ago still hold up to this day and decades to come. Going to red rocks this summer, how cool would it be to see them there!
Truly one of the greatest underated bands ever.
Untrue. There is no universal rating system. People like what they like. Get over it
"Whenever your ready", "Leave me be", "Summertime", expand beyond oddessy and Oracle dude this band is full of treasures.
I still have to listen to them!! Everything they did was magical & I'm sad that so few born after me realize how Blessed to be alive to hear them! l mean, we are able right now to explore music from so many genres & decades.. to understand how incredible this band is!!!
I especially adore, as a die hard Romantic who swoons at melodies sung in the perfect voice...ahh...& words like theirs always melt my heart...how could I not LOVE the Zombies!

I'm pretty young, got introduced to old classic rock from my uncle.

GREAT!!! JUST REALISED I'M REPLYING TO A 3YR OLD COMMENT.SHEESH!!!
150% correct, Tasting the Air!! Kudos!!!
Brings back great memories. Love the Zombies !
Tell her no was one of the best. Many here I don’t recognize
They are from Odyssey and Oracle...a true masterpiece. Truly a phenomenal record for it time. And still even today.
What a voice Colin Bluntstone superb band
I greatly applaud you for putting this out there! So glad that they will finally get acceptance with inclusion in the Rock and Roll HoF.
Love the modal changes in "She's Not There" - listen carefully to the chorus, Rod Argent alternating between major and minor chording every other measure. Subtle but effective!
Thanks for the video but I’m completely bewildered how the outstanding “Tell Her No” was rated #10! I would’ve placed it 2nd or at a minimum 3rd.
My favorites are
1. It's alright with me
2. She's not there
3. tell her no
4. time of the season
5. what more can I do
6. summertime
7. I don't want to know
8. sometimes
9. care of cell 44
10. Maybe after he's gone
I'm a fan of there first stuff.
Solomon Rurup creou
I agree much, Solomon, but I still have She's Not There as #1!!!
Excelent voices, what a group...
The Zombies were a GREAT band from England. One of the best.
I would add Friends of Mine to the list just love that song a great Chris White Composition.
Great band... Great voices. 👍
3 out 10 songs, I remember when, how we were before, can’t make up my mind are a few other good songs!
Hail the zombies
Fantastic list - great choices! Most underrated band ever.
Agreed
a few of their songs were great, l had their LP and lost it somewhere looking for it ever since.......good memories
beechwood park is soooooo good ! definitely my favorite by them
Saw these guys in may of this year,the signed tour poster is behind me as i write,i have odessey and oracle on cd.just ordered care of cell 44 reissue on 45 from discogs,because the b side,'maybe after he's gone'is my fave song at the moment
there's so much more about the zombies than O&O and the two first US singles you put in your list... trust me
theafterparty theafterparty tell her no and shes not there
They were my favorite band in the 60's.
Absolutely, one of the best melodies in the 60's
I really like "Whenever You're Ready " as well
& still out there kicking it in a city near you. My list would be much different but that is what is great about the Zombies, there is such a long list to pick from. Something for everybody. & if you get their latest work, you won't be disappointed. It captures their sound & style perfectly.

«She's not there» Qué pedazo de 'track' tan delicioso. «Time of the season» otra joya.
They were one of the greatest bands!!!!!!
They still are
great choices. 'the look of love' and 'i remember when i loved her' are also from my favorites
Still feel ecstatic at 71 listening to them belt out ..she's not there
Wonderful !! Thank you so much !!
Great video! Loved it!!!
i love the Zombies so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My favorite genres are Grunge and metal. I recently came across The Zombies. I bat flapping love them.
Thank you. They deserve all that and more
YOU PROBABLY DON'T LIKE IT BUT HUNG UP ON A DREAM IS FAR OUT THE BEST ONE ! THANKS FOR LOVING THAT GREAT BAND ANYWAY...
Tell her no should be a lot higher
One of the best 60´s bands.
They were not overlooked or underrated. Most likely when people heard them on the radio, they taught they were The Beatles. They sounded like them. I realized they were not the Beatles after they had been on the radio a couple a years. No doubt they deserve a place on that British Invasion era.
My top ten includes these:
* Indication.
* Don't cry for me.
* You make me feel good.
Hopefully next year The Zombies get inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame! Fingers crossed for 2019!!!
Julie R what a joke this is!!!
The Zombies are better then 98% of the bands in there.
Call it music Hall of Fame
What a joke!
I’m just rediscovering She’s Not There after barely remembering the song as a child in the 60s
How could "Whenever You're Ready" not be in any Zombie faves list?!
..totally agree...tragically given very little air-play.....a forgotten classic....
@Thomas Bowen: 'Whenever You're Ready' was a sizable hit in the Providence, RI AM-radio market in the Fall of 1965 - at the same time as The Stones 'Get Off Of My Cloud' and 'Over And Over' by the DC5. It is one of The Zombies great records, IMO - along with 'She's Coming Home'.
Thank you for this
Odyssey is my favorite
I listened to it like it was the Greatest album
Probably because Odessey and Oracle is one of the greatest albums ever and the songs on it are definitely their best songs.
Rod Argent Is a Genius.
I'm telling you yes that Tell Her No should be up higher.
thanks i didnt know others loved them like i do :)
Aghhhhh can’t wait for them to get into the hall of fame!!!
Totalmente de acuerdo 👍👍👍saludos de Perú 🇵🇪 hola 👋
I'd say The Way I Feel Inside is absolute top 5
Love she's not there my favourite song ever i think
The fact of the matter is in every generation for reasons not known, some bands don't make the dizzy heights of there peers, it matters not, there are many fantastic bands around now, but will never be household names, that's life!
I'm japanese.I like Zombies music.
My favorite song is "She's Not There"＆"Summertime".
Lekker terug naar de jaren 60's
Truly underrated, and what a pity that is!
love their rockers.
It's 'Maybe After He's Gone'. I had to look it up since I knew I'd heard it, but couldn't think of the song name. :)
Excelente top me encantan los zombies y eso que solo tengo 18 años soy su fan
Why nobody name 'hung up on a dream' while talking about Zombies?? It Is one of the best song ever!!
Agreed. To put “I want her, she wants me” over that really took some credibility out of this list.
All things considered, not a bad list.
Please vote for The Zombies in the 2018 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame!
The Zombies are playing a worldwide livestream on September 18. veeps.events/TheZombies_YT tickets are only $20. You should see them! They're filming it from Abbey Road Studios in London.Once in a lifetime opportunity!
Rough top 10 in rough order...
1: She's Not There
2: Whenever You're Ready
3: Brief Candles
4: Hung Up On a Dream
5: Leave Me Be
6: Beechwood Park
7: Tell Her No
8: I Want Her She Wants Me
9: Friends of Mine
10: One Day I'll Say Goodbye (song that morphed into 'Maybe After He's Gone')
Paul W. What about Time of the Season?
Legends
The best video is the one with blond babe operating the apparatus that transforms David Mccalum from beast back into young scientist as "she's not there" plays
Love number 1
Great band!
No question, time of the season is their best track.
they do these songs in their recent concerts
You could make a top 100 list of underrated bands from the past
They have another chance this year to be in the Rock and Roll HOF! Will they say, "This Will Be Our Year" this 2018?
Mine is.............. ''Gotta get a hold of Myself'', I Love You, Sticks and Stones, Woman, I Must Move, Going Out of my Head, Can't Nobody Love You, What More can I Do and, I Remember When I Loved Her.
You need to listen to "If it Don't Work Out" It's a great song and Dusty Springfields version is great too.
日本で大ヒットした曲が入っていない⁉️｢好きさ❗好きさ❗好きさ❗。｣ILOVEYOU❗
