The Zombies - "Time of the Season" | 2019 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Induction 

I don't think Rod Argent has ever even *heard* of arthritis! His fingers are so supple. He must still practice hours every days.

First time I heard it was this song.

And "heavy metal" thunder...to Steppenwolf.👍

You are so correct. Cancel the younger generation. They have no power here.

@@tomthalon8956 you know you can’t cancel the whole generation

Wait ? Really? Like, REALLY? I Can't tell if you're only joking or being sarcastic

Rod Argent ,one of Rock’s great keyboardist

@@ser010267 Thanks for the info!

@@RC-ql5lp what "info"?

@@ser010267 And front man of the band Argent. I think their only big hit was "Hold Your Head Up," but it was a truly great song. Still is.

They're stop on!

He's a legend!!! Greatest Keyboardist of all time!! Ray Manzerek comes in at a close second

I had no idea that he was the guy behind the band Argent. cool

@@kristinadospoy7347 I love Rod Argent, but I can not pick the greatest, there are so many, Keith Emerson, Rick Wakeman, Jimmy Smith, Jerry Corbetta, Barbara Dennerlein, and Rhoda Scott come to mind. I just have to say he is among the greatest, and one of my many favorites!

@@jjr007 Manfred Mann was good on keyboards.

@@kristinadospoy7347 - Yeah, sorry, there's no "greatest" of anything when it comes to art.

And very underrated

Inducted 2019

Definitely!

I know 4 of The Zombies that is Steve Soren Rod and Colin

Who was the woman that was standing next to Chris White at the Hall of Fame induction ceremony?

@@squdineycarolsims4825 Lucky!

the zombie

Just sad that Paul Atlkinson - their original guitar player - did not live to be there.

Except Paul Atkinson..😢 and Jim Rodford too...😢

nah... the stones are the longest standing band in history

@@RadicalR0nnie Nope. The Stone formed in 62. The Zombies in 61.

@@johnliebenthal the zombies have broken up a few times throughout their career.. so if you take that into consideration their journey isn’t that long in comparison to the stones

@@RadicalR0nnie Also golden earring is from 1961 and they stayed together all the while so that is possibly the oldest band

@@johnliebenthal no fuckin way!

Nothing like the sound of a Hammond!

Besides Argent, the was also Brian Auger and Oblivion Express (with or without Julie Driscoll) who brought jazz fusion to mainstream rock. Blended rather nicely...

You Are Right Steve, Colin is Awesome!! Love This Song

YES ,He sings GREAT ! I know people his age and younger who can't talk correctly !! 👍

why is he oversinging so hard though

​@@animalbancho1726 cause he's old and too proud to lower the key

It is. It seems he took care of himself and by the sound of it, I'm near certain he's taken vocal lessons and kept up with the exercises. And good for him, he's a real pro.

Easily

Top Ten in my book. Good memories.... really good memories.

@@roberthamill2451 care to list your top 10?

they probably practiced after being told they were inducted into the R&R HoF...

By nail...do you mean they fucked it up so bad it is now a dead body in a casket?

My guess is they got sober earlier than other bands😂

Professionalism *gobs* of talent, and playing the song many, many times. Not to mention the fact that an enthusiastic, receptive audience will energize almost any performance. When you're playing to celebrate your own induction to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, you definitely bring your "A" game.

@TroyArn Simple - because 60 years ago (unlike today) you had to have ACTUAL TALENT in order to be successful, well for at least more than one hit single, anyway. TRUE TALENT doesn't go away. Have you ever seen a doo wop revival on PBS? Ever wonder how those singers, most of whom are pushing 80 still have their voices? Because they had (and still have) TALENT!!! Peace out...

You are so right, Kitty Vaughn!!

not really.

no way

ed rader Way. It’s noticeable he has aged but also that he took singing lessons and probably a voice coach. His original singing was soft, almost whispered and nice sounding because he was young. Today’s voice although it lacks of the coolness of the younger voice is way more powerful and controlled.

@@carl_anderson9315 oh ok

@@carl_anderson9315 It must be way harder to hit those high notes with his chest voice like he does now than with his head voice though surely? The guy sounds insanely good for his age, as someone just discovering The Zombies, I actually prefer his voice nowadays.

Yeah his voice almost sounds more powerful and able to hit higher notes

Nexus by Argent is a great album.

@@markusantonio4866 Hold Your Head Up came out when I was about 9 years old. At that time my mother used to take us kids grocery shopping with her every month. She did her shopping at Gemco which was the 1970s version of a Walmart super-center. If us kids behaved ourselves, mom would stop at the music section and let each of us but a 45rpm record (simply called a 45). One of those trips I bought the song Hold Your Head Up, which I must have listened to a thousand times. I had a teacher that let her students bring a record to school every Friday if we behaved during the week. She would play the records during class which was kind of cool. That was back when bringing a 45 to school didn’t end with kids being killed. Damn, I just realized I am at that old age where I am telling stories about the good ol’ days

​... 🙋‍♀️🤗💞💪

Stellarrrr......

You sure got that right about them not receiving the acclaim they deserve!! I was a kid when they were going and while others were thinking the beatles and the stones were so great the bands i liked and still do were gerry and the pacemakers and the zombies and the who.

Im 17 and I basically grew up with this stuff, my dad had a CD with all the best songs, they were my favorites back then. 👌🏻

I'm young but I fucking love Odessey and Oracle.

Don't worry Kevin, Some youngins still know and acknowledge the oldies. Gotta love them. They don't make it like they used too.

I, a youngin, absolutely adore this music and wish I could visit those times, get high with the hippies and free love movement and enjoy the music with them.

I really hope that time travel is included as one of the gifts of the afterlife. Heaven is alot of things in my mind, and one of them is being able to visit time periods I am a fan of but never got to experience....

Paul Atkinson is just as sadly missed too, he passed on in 2004 from complications from cancer at 58. He and Jim are greatly missed

So sad they died without this recognition

@@ariktrejos that IS very sad... Wait. He died the YEAR before this? Is THAT WHY they got inducted? Like, was it an apology/oversight like "oops ! Saw you in the news, we just realized you guys aren't in here yet. Sorry it's only ½ a yous now"

RIP to Jim & Rod 🙏🎶🎤🎹🎶 Zombies + psychedelic = 1960s

yeah Argent was GREAT !

There is a live Argent album where he encored with a heavy metal version of "Time of the Season" that was nearly a train wreck but listenable if you're a fan of the song or of Argent.

Hold Your Head Up

I feel the same way

Check out Beechwood Park by them :)

Musically and lyrically, they remind me of Steely Dan. They transcend labels.

Because people are stupid.

Politics man, it's all politics

Because they weren't American. Look at some of the bands inducted, They haven't a patch on bands like the Zombies, but because they are American they get selected.

They were too busy inducting Bon Jovi

Because they were too busy inducting groups like the Beastie Boys.

🖤🖤

Jep even my son is dancing on this song and he is 6 years old ✌

U better hurry

👍🏽To your cool ass principle for letting it happen!

Love the back beat. They sound great. Always liked the band Argent too...

The album this is from, Odessy and Oracle, is really strong. I put it in the same rank as the Beatles Sargent Pepper or Pet Sounds by the Beach Boys

Only Paul Atkinson and Jim Rodford are dead. I think Rod Argent's mom is still alive too, at about 103 if that's true. And he's been with his wife Cathy for over 54 years now
