Time of the Season, The Zombies

If you ever think about the late 1960s, and what it would be like if you were there, it should almost certainly be soundtracked by The Zombies. You've probably heard the song before, it's been referenced in all kinds of places. This song perhaps belongs more to the Summer months, but it's my birthday today, so I can afford to be happy. It's so psychedelic, sexy and simply joyful, I love the harmony when they sing the title, as well as the ending - a minute's instrumental which is just bliss. If you like it then give the album Odessey and Oracle a listen which was #23 on NME's recent list of 'Best 100 Albums You've Never Heard.' I guarantee it will challenge The Beach Boys for a spot on your Summer playlist or brighten up the dark Winter's days ahead.
