Probably my favorite Project album, so many great songs on it, especially “Silence and I”.

This is the first time I have ever heard the Japanese version by Kyu Sakamoto. Very different from the Alan Parson Project version.

Their song TIME is one of the most amazing and depressing songs ever. Little known fact Alan Parsons help produce Dark Side of the Moon. Floyd head here..

Some claim this song by Lady Antebellum is a ripoff of the Alan Parsons song. Listen and decide:

Lady Antebellum - Need You Now

My favorite Alan Parsons album is “Gaudi,” about Antoni Gaudi, the Spanish architect who did “La Sagrada Familia” cathedral in Barcelona. Amazing work.

Another favorite.

My personal opinion...the 2 minute instrumental intro of “Sirius” should always be included...just seems like a good buildup to “Eye In The Sky”.

Another little known fact about the APP.

The core of the band was the band Pilot, who had the hit “Magic”, which Parsons produced.

You’ll recognize the voice and guitar on many of the Projects’ songs.

The best Parson’s album imho is Pyramid.

Alan looks like he is ready to kill the viewer, while Woodson seems confused why his photo is being taken.

Alan Parsons was doing songs about the NSA 30 years before it was around! He has amazing insight.

Certainly one of my all time favorites. My wife and I sing this together, very poorly on my part, but I still like to sing it with her.
