The Alan Parsons Project- Breakdown

[CrimsonTidegirl]

I was Perusing FR and reading the frightening articles about the ever expanding, global CoupFlu tyranny and this song started playing on my phone.

I love this song and the lyrics of the choir at the end are apropos: “Freedom, freedom, we will not obey. Freedom, freedom, take the wall away.”

You knew this was coming.

Great song, good post. Recommend this whole album, I Robot, as well as Tales of Mystery and Imagination.

Eric Woolfson (RIP) was the real genius of the APP.

Pyramid is my favorite APP album.

[CrimsonTidegirl]

Yep. Fantastic voice.

[CrimsonTidegirl]

LOL!

Of course:)

[CrimsonTidegirl]

Thanks. I love both of those albums.

[dfwgator]

Ammonia Avenue is another great APP album.

[Allegra]

That whole I Robot album takes me way back.

Great song! Thanks for the nostalgic moment.

Favorite Parson’s song: I Wouldn’t want to Be Like You ( I Robot)
Sounds a lot like Steely Dan

[dfwgator]

The first time I heard (The System of) Doctor Tarr and Professor Feather, I thought it was Steely Dan.

[Allegra]

Love that song.

I have all of their albums downloaded. I purchased the “Ammonia Avenue” vinyl when I was in Junior High.

“Don’t Answer Me” and the Title Track are my favorites from the LP.

I fell in love with APP when I first heard them.

[nuconvert]

Absolutely

[CrimsonTidegirl]

You’re welcome:)

Just listened to it and I have to say, the beginning is very similar to The Bee Gees - Lonely Days.

[nuconvert]

Yeah, it’s a good one

Don’t leave false illusion behind
Don’t cry, I ain’t changing my mind
So find another fool like before
‘Cause I ain’t gonna live anymore
Believing
Some of the lies
When all of the signs are deceiving
