ItemImageAside from the Beatles and perhaps the Beach Boys, no mid-'60s rock group wrote melodies as gorgeous as those of the Zombies. Dominated by Colin Blunstone's breathy vocals, choral backup harmonies, and Rod Argent's shining jazz- and classical-influenced organ and piano, the band sounded utterly unique for their era. Indeed, their material — penned by either Argent or guitarist Chris White, with unexpected shifts from major to minor keys — was perhaps too adventurous ... Read More... at allmusic.com

The Zombies should be in the Hall, first of all, because they were not only part of the initial British Invasion, they were among those British groups at the time puttiing out worthwhile music. (Others that fit that decription, the Beatles, the Stones, the Animals, the DC5, and the Kinks, are already in). In my opinion, other groups that crossed the "pond" at that time were more geared toward teeny boppers and do not deserve consideration, Billy J. Kramer and the Dakotas, Herman's Hermits, and Wayne Fontana and the Mindbenders fit that description. The Zombies do not fit that category.. "She's Not There" and "Tell Her No" were both fine hit songs. At the end of the '60's, just before they broke up, they produced the critically-acclaimed album "Odessey and Oracle" which included the classic hit "Time of the Season." It should also be mentioned that Rod Argent was, along with the Animals' Alan Price, one of the two best keyboard players from the Invasion. This band was breaking new ground. They should be recognized.

The Zombies are back on the road again. I don't know the exact personel lineup or all the dates. But, I do know that at friend of mine in the Blues Magoos told me that they will be opening for Zombies in NYC.

Hoping like hell Colin and Rod are both back in.

A singularly amazing group, who were putting out world class rock within a year or so of getting their first guitars. Egos busted them up far too early. In the class of the Beatles if they'd stayed together, seriously. They created fabulous sounds, fabulous. Man! What music the world lost when they broke up!

I think it's horrible that they've not been inducted. Their music is timeless, and for that era, was truly ahead of its time. Colin's sexy, breathy voice, was truly one-of-a-kind. And Rod's keyboard playing, was phenomenal. To top that off, they still rock today.

The Zombies are way ahead of their time!!! Rock music during those days only used 4 notes, no minors, half, or the 7th notes & no acapella which The Zombies were always using.

Always underappreciated by the industry. Their output was not extensive (of course, neither was Cream's and they were put in) but their influence was. Colin Blunstone is one of the greatest vocalists in rock history.

very innovative but at the time grossly underrated band, whose (self-penned) remain eminently listenable; among discerning music lovers the band is more popular now than ever before.
