1. Zombies!

My favorite band of all time. Saw them at The Kessler Theater in Dallas 11 years ago! They were still fabulous!! Love this!

2. Ahh, that's great. I loved their harmonies and didn't realize they were so ignored for so long...

'Glad they are finally getting their due--especially with the R&R Hall of Fame. KUDOS!

3. Damn it, it's blocked in my country.

4. Same here, unfortunately.

One of my favourite songs of all time - and right at the top of that era - is She's Not There. Brilliant keyboard work by Rod Argent, and all-round great sound. Years ahead of its time.

5. I'm sorry. I did some quick searching on YouTube to see if I could find video of the story uploaded by

a Zombies fan, but didn't find anything yet.

Here's the CBS News story with the full transcript. The video is with it, too.

7. Good Read

Rod was rock's first great keyboardist.
His skills made keyboard solos acceptable in rock music.
As great as Emerson & Wakeman were, they owe Rod a lot!
