message: I have deleted "Britpop" from the genre list; the relevant article clearly states that Britpop was a movement of the 1990s influenced by bands of the 1960s and 1970s, and as being an influence on a genre does not make a band part of that genre, the Zombies are not Britpop.Kallionae (talk) 01:05, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

message: On 15th March 216.160.54.93 added this note -
"The box on the upper right hand corner listed The Zombies as "psychedelic". Whomever put that in has no knowledge of such things, because The Zombies were the most straight-laced of British beat bands and never even approached the psychedelic sound."
While the comment is true for their music, the cover of Odessey and Oracle had a very psychedelic feel to it !  RGCorris (talk) 12:31, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

message: while you people are quibbling about Odessy and Oracle being "psychedelic" - which it is definitely not - why don't you read another relevant article, on colin  blunstone which states   " After the amicable split of the band, shortly after completing the baroque pop classic LP ".76.67.127.29 (talk) 22:57, 12 January 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  can WP get its act together? 

message: I was thinking of tidying up the singles list a bit but I was just wondering, are we counting the UK singles or the US singles as the Zombies main releases? At the moment it seems to be a bit of a mix up with the first few singles giving the UK release dates but them switching to the US releases dates later on. I was thinking that the UK release dates should be the ones shown (they are a British group afterall) but they were more popular in the US, so I'm not sure. Would that also mean that songs such as "Just Out of Reach"/"Remember You" should be switched around, because in the US "Just Out of Reach" was the A-side, but "Remember You" was in the UK? (Note: My source is the Discography as per the booklet that comes with Zombie Heaven). Ste900R (talk) 17:41, 19 April 2011 (UTC)

message: i may be wrong but
the length of the 1991–present section contains far too much irrelevant and distracting information in my opinion

message: I have changed "The Zombies is an English rock band" to "The Zombies are an English band". The Zombies take verbs in plural in both English & American English. Nite-Sirk (talk) 21:58, 10 August 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: That is actually very debatable - bands, like sports teams, are ... I forget the term ... composite noun, something like that, which can takes a singular verb despite the plural-ness of the name. After all, this isn't about a whole bunch of brains-eating zombies but about a single entity called The Zombies. But the grammar rule isn't absolute. - DavidWBrooks (talk) 00:49, 11 August 2011 (UTC)
replies: text:  Well, in American English, one uses the plural if the subject is the band name and the band name is explicitly plural ("The Smashing Pumpkins are a band"); if the band name is singular, one uses the singular ("Pearl Jam is a band"). In British English, however, one would use the plural in both cases ("The Rolling Stones are a rock band", "Iron Maiden are a heavy metal band"). Nite-Sirk (talk) 02:51, 11 August 2011 (UTC)
replies: text:  I agree that it is debatable, and grammar rules are not absolute.  It has to do with the way one thinks of the noun, so say it as you think it.  The name of a band can be taken as just a name, much as the title of a book, rather than that each member is to be identified as such.  Abstrator (talk) 01:56, 18 November 2013 (UTC)

message: "Their choice of names was out of desperation..."
Shouldn't that be "Their choice of names WERE out of desperation?"  Is this an British thing (like the above correction)?  "Were" is for plural use and the "names" are plural.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Albabe (talk • contribs) 00:11, 13 March 2012 (UTC)
