RUSHHEAD666 Posted March 15, 2015 Author Share Posted March 15, 2015 Wow! Two albums I never fell in love with but I do dig them. Nice picks buddy! I prefer the older shit. Ammonia Avenue is the last great APP album!The title track about religion and spirituality was way ahead of its time."And who are we to critizice or scorn the things that they do?"Eric was never a Dylan on lyrics but this time he got it bullseye, and 20 years in advance. AA gave me nothing but I did like it. "Eye In The Sky" was it for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MusicHead Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 I know there are a few threads on here based on the works of Alan Parsons but this guy and his band need an official thread.Ok so I know after "Eye In The Sky" they went totally POP! But the first six albums should be owned by everyone one of you who reads this!!! "Eye In The Sky" was my first album by Alan Parsons and I was hooked back in 1982! I was only 14 years old!Of course back then all I could do was go backwards and get the other five albums from the past! They are all EPIC! The production is perfect! Gee I wonder why "Dark Side Of The Moon" sounded so good? Well Alan was the engineer!!!! You guys love your prog stuff so do yourselves a favor and go out and get the first six Alan Parsons Project records!!! The song "Old And Wise" which is the last track on "Eye In The Sky" is going to be a song played at my funeral.It says it all kids. I was lucky enough to see the Alan Parsons Project a few years ago at Yoshi's in San Francisco. I was able to meet Alan after the show. He was totally cool! Cheers! Great post. Last year, I had the privilege to pick up the entire remastered APP box set on Amazon. I have to be in the proper frame of mind to enjoy the older stuff like Eve, Turn of a Friendly Card, and Tales of Mystery and Imagination. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaminbenb Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 I remember way back in the early 80's when we'd feel like getting really wasted, and zoning out...but didn't feel like Pink Floyd we pulled out some Alan Parsons, stuff! We always thought it was KIND of close, but had a different spin. Turn of a Friendly Card is probably one of my favorite albums to veg out to! Heck, we used Tales of Mystery and Imagination as the music for an indoor marching percussion ensemble I taught back in the mid 80's...I wish I had a copy of the tape of that show...some of the mallet percussion parts were off the charts! (we had a few really talented kids playing that year) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greyfriar Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 Strange and interesting how tastes in music differ. For me, Tales and Pyramid are the best APP albums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
