The Zombies - Time of the Season 2011

[@lockedin60]

I have heard this song thousands of times. It was a hit when I was a teenager. I can remember going to one of our church softball games in the springtime and the memories are distinct. But I just heard for the first time the unusual drum beat for this song. It is like reading a passage in the Bible and for some reason the passage rings truer that day. Of course Rod Argent always tickles those keyboards.

[@astridl.3465]

Wish music was still this good. Not all music is bad now but this was just so unique and original.

[@coltraneole]

Colin's voice is simply immortal. I just can't believe he still has his range. Absolutely amazing!

[@jameshennighan8193]

Rod Argent's organ content on Time of the Season is arguably one of the best keyboard riffs ever.......up there with anything from Jimmy Smith..... Still as faithful to the original as one would wish.......and of course, the Zombies were big in the US. I remember buying this back in 1968...... Still sends shivers up the spine........ James Hennighan Yorkshire, England

[@richard310]

Rod's great...still got it...for riffs shout out to Dave Greenfield of the Stranglers...a genius...both legends

[@chefjimmie1]

And he did it again in 1973 with his namesake band "Argent", Hold Your Head Up.

[@namcat53]

Excellent Jimmy Smith reference; you know your music. Thanks for not using the useless teenage phrase "underrated".

[@jokoolone]

Amazing!

[@JankoFrancisty]

That's one of the greatest drum grooves I've heard in my life !

[@thomashermann2785]

Absolutely! Defined the song as much as the organ solo

[@djmcnerney]

Yes, listening to this with headphones I was struck by the drum part. Very impressive, along with all the other impressive parts!

[@TheGreekPianist]

I got chills when Colin began singing. His voice sounds just as phenomenal live as it does on the albums!

[@1956chip]

Rod Argent is wicked. I have always loved this group. RIP Mr Redford. This song will never die.

[@deathmetaldouglas69]

RIP to bassist James Walter Rodford. Present here. Also played with Rod Argent in Argent and was with The Kinks for almost two decades from 1978 until 1996. His son is the drummer here and stayed with the group.

[@davidclark6172]

That drum beat is very unique and nice good organ too these guys still have good sounding pipes fantastic

[@thomashermann2785]

I’ve always loved the drums on this song.

[@Leonecon]

EXCELLENT STUFF!! Still sounding amazing!! Rod Argent is a MONSTER!!! Brilliant!!

[@GardeningForProfit]

You think this is good? My wife bought tickets for us to see them live. We had front row seats at a small Theatre venue in Margate in England. The venue had a capacity of just 500 people. It was my birthday. You have just had the pleasure of 4 minutes and sixteen seconds. We enjoyed an hour and a half of this incredible band. A birthday treat that I will never forget. Thank you, darling.

Colin Blunstone is one of the forgotten great vocalists of the 60's. The song that gave the line, "Who's your daddy?" to the world. Easily one of the best singles of the 60's, maybe ever. Certainly in my top 10.

[@KINGCONN990411]

Extreme talent !!!!

[@thegrumpygenxer]

They actually sound better now than in the 60's!

[@marca9955]

Recording quality has gotten better but the band hasn't. The dynamics and mysteriousness of the opening are gone. At the time it would have been even more impressive but this is a poor version.

[@surfside-hj2ue]

Listen how good their harmony is. Fantastic.

[@garygomesvedicastrology]

This has more guts than the original version I think. And I am old enough to have heard the original version on the radio when it first came out. I like this one better. (It's pretty faithful to the original. Rod does have the right to change his organ solo...and you can't do a fade out live...and at times when groups are charging $100 to 200 a pop to see them live $50-$60 is a reasonable price.

[@dennisharness2806]

Amazing Gary...one of my all time faves!

[@garygomesvedicastrology]

When I was recuperating from my hip surgery I saw them perform on PBS several times. They are supposed to be coming to Fall River (my original home town-12 miles away) August 6. Hoping to catch them live. How have you been Dennis?

[@vinceinhouston-01]

The original was pretty gutsy too. Just writing the line "What's your name, who's your daddy? Is he rich like me?" is pretty ballsie for someone in their early 20's in the 1960's to think, much less put out there in a song that they wanted to get air play. It's really a great line.

[@garygomesvedicastrology]

My father used to sing along with that line...

[@MrZootalores]

yeah, it's really hairy around the edges,the arrangment, the playing, the newer equipment vs 50 yrs ago, but the vocals are still such a joy to hear - the lads are vocally really strong & Rod is fantastic as always on the keys.just love this new version & so happy everybody was so up to do it, yay!

The keyboard player reminds me of the guy from Vanilla Fudge Ha, just realized that's Rod Argent. I saw his band Argent in NYC in the early 70s. Rod came onstage and said: " For those of you who saw us here last year, we're better now". I laughed for weeks. Also there was Blue Oyster Cult, Flash and I think they were opening for Jeff Beck (who was very late), if I remember right.
