"The Sun in your eyes made some of the lies worth believing". Love that line, genius.
-
“Wouldn’t want to be like you” is another great song from APP.
-
The "intro" is actually a separate song called "Sirius", but it also serves as an intro to "Eye in the Sky".
-
“Don’t Answer Me” is another of their forgotten hits from the 80s
-
Alan Parsons was an engineer for the Beatles at Abbey Road studio and worked extensively with Pink Floyd. He came up with lots of major innovations including forms of multi-tracking with older equipment. He is a technical genius (as well as so many other plaudits.
-
"Games People Play" is another great track from this group.
-
"I wouldn't want to be like you" and "Games people play" are great songs too but different again to this.
-
"Games People Play" is greatness!

I went to see Yes in 1998. I was lucky enough to get front row seats. I thought it was just them, I didn't know there was an opening act. So we're sitting there before the show listening to the recorded music playing, gradually growing louder as showtime got closer, and watching the people as they filed in and settled in their seats. It was finally showtime and the lights went down, and this song started. We looked at each other, "Here we go! It's about to begin!" At the first crescendo, all the stage lights suddenly blazed on and it was the real Alan Parsons (and his band) standing right in front of us playing this song! We had no idea Alan Parsons was going to be there; we thought it was just Yes. What a wonderful evening, and a great concert, by A.P. and by Yes.

Thank you for reacting to this song, please consider listening to Al Stewart’s song “ Year of the Cat”. Just not the live version please. Alan Parsons engineered this amazing song and I really believe you’ll enjoy it. Thanks for sharing your time with us.
-
I bought the "I Robot" album on the day it hit the record stores...because it had a cool album cover. By evening all my friends were hooked too. Alan Parsons is a genius.
-
It starts out with Sirius and then melds to Eye In The Sky.
-
Old and Wise has a special place in my heart

I were borned in 1956, right in the middle of the baby boomer generation. We boomers were so blessed to grow up with the greatest 25 years of music ever written, performed, and recorded, truly the golden age of rock n roll, 1955-1980!! Most everything post 1990 pales in comparison to the golden age of rock n roll!! Post 2020 you can’t be sure you’re getting true talent, or machine adjusted!!
-
I Wouldn't Want to Be Like You is another Great song from them.
-
Games Ppl Play is another great song by Alan Parsons Project.
-
Such a hypnotizing song
-
If you were on an NBA team in the 90s and you were playing at Chicago, and you heard this song, it meant that you were about to lose
-
"You cant take it with You"is a must listen too by this Band
-
ANYTHING from masterpiece APP album The Turn of a Friendly Card is brilliant. Also a deep cut called “Prime Time” where the guitar is perfect. Deep rabbit hole this.
