10 reasons why The Zombies are better that Rolling Stones:

1. The organ, damnit!
2. They did "She's not there" in 1964, when Stones still had to rely on Lennon/McCartney to provide them with second-rate material.
3. They only lasted long enough to release one truly timeless classic, "Odessey & oracle", but it's still better than any selected Stones album.
4. They did their harmony homework way better.
5. They realised quite early that the world didn't need any more dull R&B workouts.
6. Chris White and Paul Atkinson both had glasses, so they were hipster 35 years before it became trendy.
7. And they did spawn Argent's own band, which adds two great acts to his CV.
8. No risk for overhype.
9. And no risk for overproductivity.
10. And no risk of getting killed by Hells Angels.
