The Zombies- Classiest of the Mods

"The Zombies were a classy troupe of British mods. Dressed in nerdy, constricting black suits and pointy, constricting leather boots, they seemed almost like a parody of the Beatles. But their sound evolved into something unique. They looked up to and lived in the shadows of the Fab Four; their energy, rhythm, and drive were fully comparable. But tonally, the Zombies were of a different school."

Great group, sadly wasted name. First heard them on the car radio as my dad was driving me home from my first concert--Herman's Hermits @ DU stadium, 1965 or 6. Different sound from any other British Invasion group, chiefly due to the breathy, ethereal singing if Colin Blunstone (second from right). Think song "Time of the Season"--you've probably heard it somewhere, even if you're young. He put out some very worthwhile solo albums later on. Give his/their stuff a try!
