And I happen to like them more than the Beatles.*

>>46056407
Wow you're such an original wow you're so iconoclast wow just wow

>>46056373
I posted a thread of that album earlier today haha. My favorite psych pop record of all time though, absolutely perfect all the way through (except Changes, which I think is interesting but not really well put together)

All in all fantastic though. Love's Forever Changes is a close second

>>46056373
By the way, you're a fucking idiot.
>>/mu/?task=search&ghost=yes&search_text=%22the+zombies%22

Also, the debut album is obviously better than that hippie-pandering drivel you posted.

used to strap a radio to my bike and play this album while i rode through my ghetto ass neighborhood. i will never forget those feels

dat butchers tale

>>46056446
I take it back, Sagittarius's Present Tense is second, Forever Changes is third

>>46056479
really, their debut album??
i found that record in my ex girlfriend's dead uncle's attic and it's one of my favorites but as far as songwriting goes it falls a little short.

it's just a little too jingle jangle 60s pop for me, whereas odessey is a lot more thought out

>>46056479
>>46056442
>I'm insulting you!
Cool. Anything else?

I wish I had the singers voice from "summertime" It's really unique. be cool to add in today's music.

colin blunstone's solo stuff is pretty good too
some of it anyway

my favorite zombies song

Fucking trash compared to the Beatles or the beach boys

>>46056442
>>46056479
Shut the fuck up.

Beechwood Park > all Zombies
Most their early stuff is great though

>>46056739
Impossible. It's less popular!

>>46056564
"Tell Her No" is better than any song on O&O though

Yeah, they're okay. I dunno, what was so great about them that they surpassed The Beatles if I read what I think was a typo in your OP correctly?

>>46056765
can't really argue with that, tell her no is a great song. also "what more can i do", just for the tempo and the fuckin key solo

>>46056806
Surpassed the Beatles?
No. Not possible.
I meant to say they surpassed most of the 60's bands in comparison and could have been fucking huge. I think they were so much better than all the jingle jangle shit that was going on during their time. But I will say, the pianist surpassed Paul by far, piano wise.

Anyone have recs for semi-sinister sounding psych pop? I really love the dark vibe on this and Love's Forever Changes, but I feel like most other sunshine/psych pop from that time was just all happiness n rainbows

>>46056851
i don't feel like it needs to be a contest. the beatles were a band for way longer and started writing more "creatively" later on i guess but their sound is kinda boring to me.

when it comes to pop music, it's all about how the sound registers with the individual. the zombies have kind of a nice gloomy sound to them which i like, the beatles just kinda sound like sugar to me

>>46056911
>started writing more "creatively" later on
Why do plebs still perpetuate this myth? Are they really so wowed by sound effects?

>>46056373
Holy shit

My father constantly played this when I was a child, but I never knew what it was called.
Thankyou OP

I think The Zombies objectively have better vocals than The Beatles and better vocal harmonies.

>>46056903
The Grass Roots maybe

how to improve this thread and /mu/ in general
>pic related

>>46057014
What songs did you harmonically analyze* to reach this conclusion?

*Yes, Argentpleb, harmonic analysis is a real thing.

>>46057056
All of them.

>>46057065
damn...

>>46056989
i'm not talking about effects, i'm talking about going from fucking i wanna hold your hand to eleanor rigby.

i don't like either song, i am really not interested in anything they've released.

john lennon's song "hold on" is kinda cool that's about it

>>46057023
>waaah the bad man hurt my feelings with his scary onions

>>46057019
Now there's a good pop band.

>>46057065
Agreed anon, I definitely dig their vocals more than The Beatles for the most part
>>46057019
thx m8 I'll check em out. Anyone else have suggestions for darker 60s psych pop? I'm seriously digging this shit more than anything I've heard in a couple months

>>46057092
>I'm not even read this thread

>>46057092
They were on satellite radio today it was crazy

>>46057084
>i'm talking about going from fucking i wanna hold your hand to eleanor rigby

Both are pop songs with A and B sections...

>>46057170
don't see what the basic song structure of a pop song has to do with it but okkk

>>46057136
>She's got something that moves my soul
>And she knows
>I'D LOVE TO LOVE HER

Damn, I wish people would spam Grass Roots threads on /mu/ every once in a while instead of the goddamn Zombies every damn day.

>>46057170
And the most pretentious anon award goes to.

>>46057204
You implied one is creative and the other is not, yet they are more similar than different.

There's literally like 5 threads on this album a day. It's absolute shit compared to the hidden gems that came out of the psych movement. Is it better than the commonly known examples? Sure. But its still a complete rip off of more interesting and experimental bands. But like the Beatles, they made it easily digestible, making it more popular than the people they took their ideas from.

>>46057254
He's not an anon.

>>46057271
Please rec me more like it but better, seriously
The only other psych pop I like as much as it is Forever Changes and Sagittarius's Present Tense

>>46057278
Tripfag*
My bad m8

>>46057127
looks like that mac demarco guy

>>46057268
That's like saying "Ode to Joy" is similar to "Shiny Happy People" because they're both happy songs in 4/4 time.

>>46057271
>the Beatles, they made it easily digestible
Actually, they just made it with better craftsmanship and a larger harmonic vocabulary.

I like The Zombies but The Beatles are definitely superior. Those melodies! Also I find their lyrics more interesting.

>>46057231
>the goddamn Zombies every damn day
>>46057271
>There's literally like 5 threads on this album a day

Are you guys drunk?

>>46057268
yeah i am not even going to bother arguing with that one too busy loling

>>46057370
The Beatles are like the Apple of 60s pop
Like it's cool you dig their larger harmonic vocabulary but some people are just Microsoft people m8

even if the beatles aren't mentioned in the OP people are still going to fight about it in a zombies thread isnt that cool

>>46057305
If you want more of the happy flower child sound, Kaleidoscope - Tangerine Dream is pretty great. The Pretty Things - S.F. Sorrow is also really similar and a solid album.

>>46057409
What a convoluted metaphor

You said so little with so many words

>>46057386
I never seen these threads either.

>>46057370
Sure they refined it. They had vastly more resources at their disposal to polish everything. But they also boiled down the ideas into their simplest form and buried it in pop. I'm glad they did it since it spurred a larger interest in experimentation in pop music, but they still hold no ground over the people they took from.

>>46057386
see >>46056479
>>>/mu/?task=search&ghost=yes&search_text=%22the+zombies%22

>>46057398
Either that or you realized you don't actually know how to compare two pieces of music analytically.

>>46057345
>"Ode to Joy"
You mean Beethoven 9?

I like the zombies but this thread is filling quickly with autists so I'm gonna duck out

>>46057439
I'm looking more for like the darker style of psych pop, like Odessey and Oracle. Gloomy and still hippie you know? I'll check those out though, thanks m8

>>46057477
guys i've been away from /mu/ for a while, how new is this guy? and is he a troll? if he is trolling he is amazing but if he is serious i feel kinda bad

>implying all /mu/tants are on all day every day
These threads are far more infrequent than most, so go complain in more common threads. Fuck off.

>>46057476
>muh experimentation
You kids are insufferable.

No one needs vast resources to put chords together in engaging sequences. All they need is creativity and talent, which the Beatles had and they're peers had less of.

>>46057537
clt has been prince autism for a couple years now

>>46057537
How long have you been away for? 5 years?

>>46057477
They are mentioned maybe twice a day in last.fm threads and other threads. But there is no such thing as a frequency in The Zombies threads.

>>46057514
Odyssey and Oracle isn't very dark at all. If you want dark psych, listen to Moby Grape's S/T and The Jacks - Vacant World.

>>46057477
how do you feel about The United States Of America s/t clt?

>tfw I just cried for the first time in a year to Friends of Mine
I'm not even joking

i've been here since about 2008 i think...i left around 2010 but have been binge posting for months at a time on and off since then

i don't usually keep track of trips but there are a few that have been around for a while...who i don't actually see anymore so nevermind

>>46057563

>>46057537
>how new is this guy?
Oh the irony.

>>46057538
>These threads are far more infrequent than most
Think about this statement for a second, think about how the number of potential thread topics is virtually infinite, think about how many Zombies threads there are, and finally think about killing yourself before you pass on those retarded genes of yours.

>>46057593
I didn't mean dark as in truly oppressive, just vaguely... Sinister comparatively I guess. Will check out though

>>46057554
Says the moron who is praising The Beatles for experimentation. I'm convinced you just argue for the sake of reaffirming your own opinion of yourself. You do realize I'm arguing your own point to a greater extent than you are, right? You're either incredibly thick or have some form of mental illness.

>>46057625
Regardless of what you would like the content to be, wouldn't it still be far more productive to complain in the infinitely more common threads? You'd reach larger audiences and possibly sway more people. Why single out a thread that is much less of a problem than most?

Because plebeians like you need to be taught their place.

>>46057625
>think about how the number of potential thread topics is virtually infinite, think about how many Zombies threads there are,
Bwahahaha, you could argue that a thread about one band a year is extremely often with bullshit like that.

by the way sorry for turning the focus away from the zombies (or some boring beatles vs zombies argument) and onto tripfags

please carry on i was just curious

>>46057719
Yeah, I left for like a year and a half, came back posting as just CLT for a bit and then changed the acronym since I'd quit smoking

>>46057725
You'd find many more plebeians in more frequently occurring threads. Your logic doesn't make any sense.

>>46056373
I agree. The Zombies are probably one of the most underrated bands from the 60s.

>>46057711
>>46057680
no but i have this one which is pretty funny

>>46057755
The Zombies are played out anyway so discussing them is pointless. This is now a Grass Roots thread.

Love that driving rhythm against the syncopated melody when the chorus hits

thats a neat aesthetic

Huh, that version sounds weird for some reason. Maybe this one

>>46057981
hey BLT do you like ELO

Cool a zombies thread.
Oh clt ruined it.
Goodnight.

>>46058032
Ruined it so hard. Like I was really psyched to have a Zombies thread and he killed it for probably ~5-8 people.

>>46058031
It's funny you ask since "Evil Woman" was stuck in my head earlier today

Well, technically it was "Evil Django", since I change the lyrics of all songs to be about my dog

>>46058032
>>46058060
U mad

>>46058097
You're one of the ones who make it shittier too you know

>>46058076
"Last Train To London" is perpetually stuck in my head
what kind of dog is he?

>>46056479
I'd hardly call odyssey oracle Hippy-pandering. It's more baroque pop than psych.

>>46058032
>>46058060
I made it better by provoking critical discussion of the actual music. You guys would have just circle jerked about them.

>>46057919
all of those awful haircuts in one band

>>46058125
You immediately shot every possible discussion point about the proposed artist down, rather than letting it develop into anything. You're an absolute idiot.

>>46058121
Mostly a poodle. Imagine me as a dog and that's my dog pretty much.

>>46058122
Yeah, I just like making fun of the flower power cover art.

>You immediately shot every possible discussion point about the proposed artist down
That's what happens when you post things which are wrong.

Can't take the heat? r/music might be more your style.

>>46056373
OP have you listened to pic related? It's a little bit more pretentious (not so much in the song writing department but the whole rock/orchestra going on).

>>46058186
do you have similar taste?

also have you ever listened to the dovers?

>>46058258
I don't think I have. Who's that qt?!

In keeping with the theme of non-Zombies 60s pop, www.youtube.com/watch?v=BR3xcZ-osqE

I have the right kind of voice to be in a band like this, but it's not the fashionable style right now. Guess I was born in the wrong generation.

She's Not There is such a great song, primarily due to Ron Argent's style on the e piano. He made that band.

>>46058366
just make some derivative psych rock shit like tame impala and viral market yourself on tumblr

Just like a it's a shame the only Gerry & the Pacemakers track anyone remembers is the one Liverpool ruined.

How the fuck has this thread gone on so long without anyone talking about This Will Be Our Year? Fuckin' god tier chord progression

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FmuswTEGF-U

late to the party here and just skimmed the thread, but I actually gotta side with CLT here.


Early Zombies are the best Zombies: just listen to Tell Her No or She's Not There both are pure fucking goodness

>>46056373
this is one example of music that hot bitches like, that I also like
