Surprisingly, it is not uncommon for a musician to have their biggest hit after they passed away. We wonder if the Zombies could identify on some level, as they achieved their biggest success after they disbanded.
The Zombies were part of the British Invasion and like their compatriots they sought fame and fortune in the United States. Where they were a little different is that the Zombies focused more on their melodies and the use of minor keys. Their music was a little more classically infused and with a touch of psychedelic they have been considered by many musical historians as the most underrated bands of their era. Coincidentally, it appears that their chances may be improving in recent years as listeners appear to be unraveling the textures of their music. Their outside shot for induction seems to be improving each year.
