Alan Parsons Project albums. They were a musical group from the 70s and 80s - decent music.

Alan Parsons also was engineer on Beatles / Abbey Road

You didn’t mention his best LP “I Robot”

Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon, too.

APP went on to bring the “concept album” into the mainstream scoring in the charts with Tales of Mystery and Imagination and I Robot.
After this, APP’s acceptance declined but their technical acumen as well as “progressive rock” composition skills improved.
They created several acclaimed albums after that didn’t quite catch mainstream attention.
Some folks own fist release editions of all the APP albums...cough, cough.

Tales of Mystery and Imagination was Allen Parsons Project first album, and I own it on every media available..I think.

Back in the old days, when I ran a private homeschool, I had my students listen to it for a couple of week (immersion therapy!) and get a ken for the lyrics. Then, in our American Lit class, we would read some of Poe’s work. I wouldn’t tell them what song went with what story...but they figured it out.

Wasn’t APP kinda like Steely Dan...a rotating group of background musicians with one or two constant leaders?
