Before Vampire Weekend there were the The Zombies



It's amazing how after so many years a band like The Zombies can still sound so fresh. It's as if each song was created and recorded yesterday, the only hint of it being from the 60's is the period three part harmony's.

If you haven't ever heard of The Zombies  or have and simply can't be bothered buying all their music than their greatest hits album is the way to go.

As a rule i HATE greatest hits albums, however i really think The Zombies Greatest Hits has actually been handled with a little care and love and it actually meshes well as an album.

Lead singer Colin Blunstone's voice is so crisp and smooth, and The Zombies really excel at their melodic beach sound. It's worth at least having a listen to the following two songs.
