This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | The Zombies are an English rock band, formed in St. Albans in 1961. Like many of their contemporaries, they started out playing American rhythm and blues but rapidly developed their own Baroque Pop sound, characterized by principal songwriter Rod Argent's keyboard and organ solos and lead singer Colin Blunstone's breathy vocals. This culminated in their most highly regarded work, Odessey and Oracle, in 1968. Although they had a handful of hits in both their home country and the United States, they never received the attention or commercial success of their contemporaries. Indeed, the lack of commercial success drove the band to split before the release of Odessey and Oracle. Ironically, a single taken from the album, Time of the Season, would go on to become one of their biggest hits despite the absence of a band to promote it. Blunstone and Argent continue to tour as The Zombies, and in recent years all the surviving members have reunited on several occasions. |
