The Zombies were an underrated band. In the 1960s, the Brits invaded America. Leading the charge were the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, The Who, and the Kinks. Right in the thick of that mess of ungodly talent was the Zombies. A piano/keyboard based pop group armed with their own mix of catchy singles and sentimental rock and roll. I’m really drunk right now, and can’t sort through for you who sang what, and who wrote what for the Zombies, but I can present you two killer songs that represent the Zombies at their very best. The first is their break out hit, “She’s Not There,” a charming piece of moody Brit-pop. It’s one of the catchiest songs of all time, and its structured around a perfect melody, a real piece of genius. The other you might recognize from a Tiger Woods commercial. It’s “This Will Be Our Year,” one of my favorite songs ever. It’s a nostalgic piece of sentimental pop baked to perfection. Enjoy these British biscuits while you can, and all hail the ZOMBIES!
