Still GreatS. The Zombies disbanded before they hit the charts in the U. and that was a real loss for all of us. After seeing them perform, they still have it. The lilting and almost haunting voice of Colin Blunstone is still a kick. The collection is a really nice way to revisit the best of the "Invasion".
A Great Anthology From One Of The Most Important, Yet Underappreciated, British Invasion Bands
Although their name would indicate them to be a rough-and-tumble bunch of guys, in reality, they were actually well-mannered grammar-school honor students from St. The Zombies collection ABSOLUTELY THE BEST features sixteen songs that show the Zombies to be on par with the Beatles, Kinks, and Rolling Stones as the most important British Invasion band ever. Albans who avoided boisterous behavior and concentrated on their studies. As a result, they ended up writing pop songs that were more complex than anything else that was out at the time; even "She's Not There", their highest-charting single, was a precursor to jazz-rock fusion, progressive rock, and even disco. That the band had little chart success or recognition from reviewers is a sad reflection on the public, not the band. The songs here all resonate with an inventiveness that is timeless. This CD is a must-own for anyone interested in well-crafted pop.
Great band, great era
It's got all the hits by the Zombies and I listen to it frequently for entertainment and nostalgia. If you want to go back in time when life was simplier with the memories that this band provides through their music then buy this CD. The songs never get old. Sometimes I wish I could turn back the clock when there was no Rap or Hip Hop. This CD helps.
1/3 is good music
As reported by others about 1/3 of the album is songs I remember and enjoy .
WONDERFUL AND GREAT TO HEAR ALL THE TIME
I LISTEN TO IT ALL THE TIME. LOVE IT! GREAT VOCALS AND JUST PERFECT. IT'S LIKE BEING BACK IN TIME WHEN ALL OF THE SONGS WERE RELEASED. .
