That's an interesting choice, rs, and a good start to this thread.
Zombies: their sound was so tied up with Colin Blunstone's voice that I feel it limited what they could ever do as a group; everything was a variation of a smooth, spooky mood, and although Time of the Season is good, most of this album suffers for that reason imo. Nice sound, but short tracks that are somehow both unnecessarily complicated and inconsequential at the same time.
Love: in comparison, Forever Changes sounds so clear and fresh. The excellent songwriting and the uncluttered instrumentation make this the easy winner for me.
Accumulating Vote:
Forever Changes: 5
Odessy And Oracle:0
So that's a win for Forever Changes by my reckoning. ("Sometimes I deal in numbers....")
