I’ll call out again how great the vocals are on this and every Zombies track, really. The title track, “I Love You,” is a swinging, crooning blast. And don’t get me started on that keyboard. “Indication” is pure rock/pop bliss, and is peppy and zippy as all get out. It’s got hints of mystery a la The Rolling Stones or early Doors, insanely great harmonizing on a par with The Byrds, and a Beatles-y knack for wonderful song craftsmanship and construction. That said, I find it genuinely surprising that “Gotta Get A Hold Of Myself” isn’t in the conversation in terms of great songs from the ‘60s. ![]() There are countless reasons why a particular song, album, or even band becomes “popular” or not. ![]() So it was that I was able come around to I Love You, released by The Zombies in 1966, during the the long research process for this here best 1,000 albums ever project. Most often they will carry the full catalog – and especially studio album releases – but in rare cases, such as with The Zombies, Spotify will offer most of the output but not all of it. I’ll make an admission: I sometimes fall prey to assuming that if Spotify carries a band or artist, that that means that it will automatically include its entire catalog of music. – one of the least appreciated big time bands from the 1960s, and certainly of the British Invasion era. I’ve long been a big fan of The Zombies, and consider them to be – at least from the perspective of my generation in the U.S. So why is The Zombies’ I Love You on this best 1,000 albums ever thing? ![]()
