Dr. Ellwood Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 What are they? and if you have to ask WHO are they, you are missing a great act, Rod Argent flat ROCKS!! The intensity of their live act rivals the WHO, their vocals are among the tightest I've ever heard live.

Zuben Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 The name was lame but Argent is great. Influenced a lot future bands. Peace http://www.spotcheckbilly.com http://www.littlefeat.net http://www.bonnieraitt.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Ellwood Posted April 6, 2007 Author Share Posted April 6, 2007 For Sure! there is so much going on in his music, so much about harmony and putting together a song, it's good to go back and listen! But Rod with the Zombies was great, great ideas, great writing, really great live performance, Rod was the one that first got me to change my keyboard style and appreciate what could be done combining simutanious keyboard with guitar seamless ONE SOUND arrangements. http://www.thestringnetwork.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

b3_john Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 "Hold Your Head Up". OK, technically not the Zombies, but definitely my fav. Rod Argent song. "Time of the Season" is good. "She's Not There" is a great song, but I've always preferred the Santana/Coster version (from Moonflower) to the Zombies original.

mdrs Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 Argent was really cool. And, I'd not stopped to think of all the good material he came up with. Thanks for the thread Ellwood.

Eric Iverson Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 I still enjoy playing "She's Not There" and hope to do it in our coffeehouse band... not a serious HOMAGE TO GENIUS or anything, but because it's fun to play and listen to.. and our audiences are there for a nice night on the town, not as a profound cultural experience.. if it IS that for some of them, it's by accident! Of course, I'll probably play the solo on mandolin, not guitar, and if people can't appreciate the profound insight in doing so, well, if they can't take a joke, then ..... PS Thanking Elwood for posts is not necessarily a good idea... it only ENCOURAGES him! I DID enjoy hearing them doing that tune and "Time of the Seaon" on PBS recently, and agree that Rod plays nice keyboard solos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
