Zombie Invasion!

The Zombies are one of my favorite British Invasion bands and quite possibly the best of the era. Their sound was unique and sophisticated- almost classical- and the songs still sound fresh and modern today yet with an indefinable timeless quality. The band has impressive musical chops- dig Rod Argent on keys- but it’s Colin Blunstone’s voice that made them famous.

The Zombies’ masterpiece- Odessey and Oracle- is a very good album though a bit overrated in my opinion. I prefer listening instead to one of the many Zombies compilations. I recommend Greatest Hits which I enjoyed grooving to at work last summer on my headphones. Or, you could just listen to my favorite Zombies songs here. Enjoy!
