After the Zombies broke up, keyboardist/songwriter Rod Argent formed his own band in 1969, which incorporated more classical, jazz, and art rock influences in accordance with Argent's musical training. The group's other members were guitarist/songwriter Russ Ballard, bassist Jim Rodford, and drummer Bob Henrit. Argent's first two albums, Argent and Ring of Hands, received a fair amount of critical… Read more in Amazon's Argent Store

5.0 out of 5 stars What You Need To Know, March 18, 2008
By Cary E. Mansfield (Studio City, CA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
After The Zombies broke up, keyboardist / songwriter Rod Argent formed a new band in 1969, which incorporated more classical, jazz, and art rock influences, in line with Argent's musical training. The group's other members were lead singer / guitarist / songwriter Russ Ballard, bassist Jim Rodford, and drummer Bob Henrit.

Russ Ballard also wrote "God Gave Rock `N' Roll to You," later covered by Kiss, and "Liar," a top 10 hit for Three Dog Night in 1971.

Contains the top five smash "Hold Your Head Up," as well as Argent's versions of "Liar" and "God Gave Rock `N' Roll to You."

This is the first Argent hits collection since the eight-track 1976 Anthology: The Best of Argent, and is the only one to exclusively feature the single mixes of their hits along with popular album tracks.

This 18-track collection includes 10 original single mixes that are appearing on CD for the first time. In addition, none of these versions is available on iTunes.

Includes a live reworking of The Zombies classic "Time of the Season."

5.0 out of 5 stars Argent's Finest Hour of Prog-Rock., June 19, 2008
By G. Merritt (Boulder, CO) - See all my reviews
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
After The Zombies ("She's Not There," "Time of the Season") broke up in in April, 1968, keyboardist Rod Argent formed Argent in 1969. Rod Argent, Zombies bassist, Chris White, and Russ Ballard were the group's songwriters. In four years, the band released some of the biggest prog-rock hits of the early 70s including the prog-anthem, "Hold Your Head Up," "God Gave Rock and Roll to You" (later covered by KISS), and "Liar" (later covered by Three Dog Night). While Argent's albums (Argent, Ring of Hands, and All Together Now) were somewhat uneven collections on their own, this long-overdue, definitive Argent compilation disc features a strong setlist that rivals anything ever recorded by Emerson Lake & Palmer and Yes. This compilation also includes a live version of the Zombies' classic, "Time of the Season:"

1. Liar
2. Schoolgirl
3. Dance in the Smoke
4. Sweet Mary
5. Lothlorien
6. Pleasure
7. Celebration
8. Cast Your Spell Uranus
9. Hold Your Head Up
10. Be My Lover, Be My Friend
11. I am the dance of ages
12. Tragedy
13. God Gave
14. Rock and Roll to You
15. It's only Money pt 2
16. Man for all reasons
17. Thunder and Lightning
18. Jester
19. Time of the Season (Live)

3.0 out of 5 stars Comprehensive but still Lacking, October 17, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
While I think the music on this CD is very good, I am highly disappointed the version of Hold Your Head Up, Argent's arguably best known song, is the shortened single one. At least they should have included both versions of this classic song. Because of this glaring omission, you still need to get The Argent Anthology to have the best of this talented band.
