The Zombies

Alternative rock
Alternative rockPsychedelic rockRock

The Zombies is a Alternative rock and Psychedelic rock act. Their catalogue also touches Rock. Their sound grew out of Ricky Nelson, The Beatles, You've Really Got a Hold on Me, Geoff Emerick and Blues Magoos. Those roots explain a lot about how The Zombies arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as The Beach Boys, The Lovin' Spoonful, Buffalo Springfield, Donovan and The Association, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into The Shins, Panic! at the Disco, Dusty Hill, Frank Beard and ZZ Top, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 58 connections around The Zombies, reaching back through Ricky Nelson and forward to The Shins.
