The Zombies formed in St. Albans, Hertfordshire in 1961. Their early sound drew from rhythm and blues, but they later worked in psychedelic and baroque pop elements. Their debut album 'Begin Here' came out in 1965.
Songs like 'I Am The Swoosh' and 'Time of the Season' show what they were doing with organ riffs and Colin Blunstone's vocals. The band's lineup included Rod Argent on keyboards, Chris White on bass, Paul Atkinson on guitar, and Hugh Grundy on drums.
They released 'Odessey and Oracle' in 1968. The Zombies were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2019.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
