I'm disappointed that the article does not mention that the Zombies appear in Otto Preminger's 1965 thriller "Bunny Lake Is Missing." They appear on a TV program that the characters watch while talking in a pub, and their songs occur at various points during the soundtrack of the movie. The article should mention this.

[edit] Britpop
I have deleted "Britpop" from the genre list; the relevant article clearly states that Britpop was a movement of the 1990s influenced by bands of the 1960s and 1970s, and as being an influence on a genre does not make a band part of that genre, the Zombies are not Britpop.Kallionae (talk) 01:05, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
Fully agree, don't know how that got there in the first place (confused with Brit invasion?) Sillyfolkboy (talk) 03:04, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Psychedelic
On 15th March 216.160.54.93 added this note -
"The box on the upper right hand corner listed The Zombies as "psychedelic". Whomever put that in has no knowledge of such things, because The Zombies were the most straight-laced of British beat bands and never even approached the psychedelic sound."
While the comment is true for their music, the cover of Odessey and Oracle had a very psychedelic feel to it ! RGCorris (talk) 12:31, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
I think it's pretty obvious that Odessey & Oracle is a psychedelic album. Just listen to it, it's a masterful piece filled with excitement, happiness, confusion, uncertainty, and melancholy that simulates the psychedelic experience. Psychedelic music isn't just about trying to recreate the experience of "tripping out" on some psychedelic drug like LSD, as many think (This music is more likely to fall under the Acid rock category), but to induce emotions that overtake and encompass the listener. The Zombies' unique brand of lyric wit and daring arrangement expanded the limits of pop, hence Psychedelic pop. Every song on Odessey & Oracle album induces feelings and emotions that send the listener on a journey. While it wasn't exactly "freakout" music, like the psychedelic sound of Hendrix, The Doors, and Jefferson Airplane, Odyssey & Oracle is still notable for its experimental compositions.

Maybe it only shares some aspects of psychedelia but I'm sure I've read critics refer to it as so and the album cover is as psych as hell! Even the Wiki article refers to it as "a broad set...of styles". I reckon we leave it in, it's only a label after all! Sillyfolkboy (talk) 13:56, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
