Eye In the Sky - Alan Parsons Project | College Students' FIRST TIME REACTION! 

Have been wanting to hit this for a while!! Was awesome, where do we go from here?! Cheers! 🙌🏻🔥

“I Wouldn’t Want To Be Like You” “I Robot” “Games People Play”

"Very Pink Floydy" Not a surprise since Alan Parsons was the sound engineer for Dark Side if the Moon. He won a grammy for that...

This is one of those songs that is as close to perfect as can be. Everything in its place, nothing over played, mixed sublimely....Parsons is a genius.

I can’t hear that intro without hearing: Introducing, at 6’6, from North Carolina, Michael Jordan.

"The sun in your eyes makes some of your lies worth believing" is one of my favorite lines ever.

The 1990s Chicago Bulls' theme song is actually called "Sirius" and segues into "Eye in the Sky", the title track from their 1982 album. You should also check out the instrumental "Lucifer", from their 1979 album *Eve* (fun fact: that album's theme is women, and late singer Eric Woolfson's (1945-2009) mother in law at the time is named Eve); "Prime Time" and "Don't Answer Me", both from the Alan Parsons Project's 1984 album *Ammonia Avenue*; "Time" (which was both my mother's favorite song and the theme of my high school senior class yearbook) from 1980's *Turn of a Friendly Card*, an album about gambling; and the instrumental "Mammagamma" a great road trip song from the album *Eye in the Sky*. Hope I didn't ramble too long and bore anyone.

From your pinned comment, "where do we go from here" - clearly, you need to go to Games People Play, since you just cribbed lyrics from that song. :)

“I Wouldn’t Want To Be Like You”, banger for sure.

"I Wouldn't Want to be Like You" is the Alan Parsons Project song. It has great guitar work.

The first part is called Sirius and it was used at a lot of sporting events as intro music for teams. You can't play Eye In The Sky without it, it's illegal in many states to do so.

My top choices, "Games people Play", "Time", "I Wouldn't Want to Be Like You", but my personal favorite from Alan Parson's Project is "Don't answer me" for it's nostalgic feel.

Alan Parsons entire discography is immaculately thought out and presented. I honestly feel you cant go wrong with any sampling of his works but every song in The Definitive Collection album is magnificent.

you need to listten to Allan Parson's "Tales of Mystery and Imagination" a whole concept album totally different than this or I robot. Based on Edgar Allen Poes " The Tell Tale Heart" "The Cask of Amontilado" and others by Poe! Trippy, proggy, orchesteral with great vocals. You'd dig it! BTW Pasrsons was a Jr. engineer on Abby Road by the Fab Four!

"I Robot" is a full album play. Powerful album.

“Psychobabble” is a great deep cut. Also highly recommend “I Robot”, “I Wouldn’t Want To Be Like You”, “Breakdown”, “The Telltale Heart”, and “Doctor Tarr and Professor Feather”.

“I wouldn’t want to be like you,” released in 1977, is the one you have to do. Driving, catchy, and GREAT vocals.

Next AP song, I Wouldn’t Want to Be Like You.

I don't see enough people recommending "I, Robot"

You listen to Alan Parsons Project and it’s very clear he was an engineer for both Pink Floyd and the Beatles (his first professional engineering credit was working on “Abbey Road”), as his music brings all the polish and sensibilities of the best of both groups.

The beginning is what Jordan's Bulls used for player introductions.

“The sun in your eyes, made some of the lies worth believing”....

As someone who grew up watching that '90s era Bulls team as a kid in Chicago....this shit makes my heart flutter.

Alan Parson's Project, "I, Robot," GREAT album.

"Time" by them is one of the best songs ever, love the lyrics.

"Time" by them is slower, but beautiful.

This came out in my freshman year of University (1982). A lovely young woman, whose name and face I remember to this day, absolutely loved this album. 40 years ago. Damn.

I, Robot is a desert island record. Check out the entire record.

“Wouldn’t Want To Be Like You “ “Games People Play “

You should check out the "Tales Of Mystery And Imagination" album. Based on Edgar Allan Poe, The Raven is a classic.

Maybe consider the Moody Blues!!! They heavily influenced Pink Floyd (and Queen) in the early days. So many... but. I'm nights in White satin, Tuesday afternoon, question, lovely to see you, ride my seesaw, isn't it strange, I'm just a singer in a rock 'n' roll band

Breakdown is a great one. I like Long Way Home better than this though.

The entire "Eye in the Sky" album is fantastic. Sirius, Eye in the Sky, Psychobabble, Old and Wise, Mammagamma, ... The whole thing could be a greatest hits collection.

Please god tell me they include the intro Sirius

Him being the sound engineer for Dark Side of the Moon was the reason I started buying his albums the music kept me a fan. And yes, I Wouldn't Wanna Be Like You, Games People Play and I really liked Psychobabble...it was smart 80's music very much like The Police to me.

Love this song I Wouldn’t Want to be Like You Don’t Answer Me Games People Play

“Don’t Let It Show” “Wouldn’t Want to be Like You”. Bestest!

“Time” and “Games People Play”. Also, “Turn of a Friendly Card.” In terms of production style, “Time” is probably the most Floyd-esque but it’s still different enough to be its own song.

"I Wouldn't Want To Be Like You" is my favorite.

Hypnotized by Fleetwood Mac. Early Fleetwood Mac

"Games people play" or "Wouldn't want to be like you" next by Alan Parsons

Alan Parsons Project - Time

great choice, an album in my extensive collection. "I Wouldn't Want to be like you" is definitely the next best choice to listen to

U guys needs to listen to Supertramp Crime of the century (the album)

"Games People Play" is one of my favs of all time!! ♥ You will love a lot of APP stuff. I promise ♥

"Time" and "Games People Play" are pretty good also.

Try "Stereotomy" title track of album by same name. Later, more intricate sound.

Check out “Old and Wise”... The studio version. There is a live version with a symphony but not as haunting as the studio version.

It’s “Prime Time”you guys played Alan Parsons Project. Nice pick.😎

Yay! They’re playing the Sirius intro. A natural follow after Eminence Front.

Alan Parsons engineered The Dark Side Of The Moon. ..."Engineer Alan Parsons was responsible for many sonic aspects."

Telegraph Road by Dire Straits would be great

The timeless Alan Parsons Project IS musical perfection! Like BUTTAH!

You must do their song, "The Raven". Its an ode to Edgar Alan Poe's classic poem.

Definitely "I Wouldn't Want To Be Like You." Completely different from "Eye in the Sky" and a better song, IMHO. ✌️

Wouldn’t want to be like you and games people play 😀rock on A&A

The entire side B of the turn of a friendly card album is majestic, this is a very well crafted and beautiful music

Love, Love, LOVE Alan Parsons Project!🥰 Welcome to a whole other rabbit hole!

I still remember my mother buying this album when it came out. We had just gone to see King Tut exhibit at a Toronto museum and album cover reminds me of that day. It is still one of my favourite albums. Every song is amazing.

Time, Games People Play, Wouldn’t Want to be Like You. All amazing songs.

"Turn of a Friendly Card, Parts 1 and 2" is my favorite Alan Parsons Project song. Not sure if you guys have reacted it to yet, but I HIGHLY recommend you check it out!

Great reaction! "Games People Play" is an awesome song by this band.

"Tales of Mystery and Imagination". My favorite Alan Parsons album, also my introduction to them. It is an amazing concept album that is based on the poetry of Edgar Alan Poe. After I heard it; I was hooked on their music. They were pretty prolific for a while.

Alan Parsons was also an engineer on Abbey Road!

The late 70s and early 80s had a lot of just “pretty songs.” Alex’s description was great. Christopher Cross has a few songs that were pretty and comforting. “Sailing”

Wanting something heavier from APP, you're wanting "I Wouldn't Want To Be Like You" and "Games People Play". Two rather well known instrumentals are "Lucifer" and "Mammagamma". Lastly, a slower but a great retro "wall of sound" production with "Don't Answer Me".

Really enjoyed your take on this song- it’s a favorite of mine that I don’t feel many appreciate as much as it deserves.

Ok selection..."Wouldnt wanna be like you" much better by Alan Parsons..its a BANGER

"I Robot" was one of my favorite albums in high school. Every song is well done. This album is from 1982. They had changed a bit from I Robot in 1977.

“I Wouldn’t Want To Be Like You” “I Robot” “Games People Play” BREAKDOWN DR Tarr Professor Feather ..The Raven Cant Take It With You Turn Of A Friendly Card

Alan Parsons...Hit something off Tales of Mystery and Imagination! Such a great album. Songs like The Raven or The System of Doctor Tarr and Professor Feather.

This song is one of those songs that I have heard since I was a teenager. Always loved this song and thought it meant way more than my understanding. So, listen to this lyric; eye in the sky. I can read your mind. What if this is Big Brother? How would they know? Lyrics; Maker of rules, dealing with fools, I can cheat you blind. Ummm…we have been manipulated, overly taxed unfairly & suffered inflation our entire lives-cheated blind. This is Orwell 1984. What I am talking is not red or blue politics. It is bigger than that. It’s the hidden puppet master. The eye in the sky (surveillance). Nobody will probably even read this because I am here 3 years after posting. I see a lot now that I didn’t see before.

'Games People Play' is the obvious next choice from APP. More upbeat from this one & 2 epic solos. Easy S tier from both of u.

Nothing Left to Lose by Alan Parson's Project has an amazing guitar solo.

This was the background music for me while growing up. It didn't enthuse me enough to buy it and listen to it over and over. But I didn't mind listening to it when friends played it or when it came on the radio. It could stem from my state of mind at that time. I need to study the lyrics now that I'm an adult. I prefer Supertramp.

The sun in your eyes made some of the lies worth believing. That line gets me every time

"It felt like a hug from your grandma..." Heh, yeah...if you're grandma is in the Illuminati... ("Eye in the Sky, looking at you, I can read your mind...I am the maker of rules, dealing with fools, I can cheat you blind...") :D

Congrats on 80K subscribers! The two of you have come a long way in such a short time. Love your positivity and enthusiasm. You both have a level of maturity and awareness that is not normally seen in guys your age. Keep on rockin and rollin!

Tales Of Mystery And Imagination is simply one of the best albums ever produced anytime ... anywhere. Eric Wolfson may have been the best lyricist in the business.

Just discovered this album 4 days ago... so weird and wonderful to see this posted today! Love your channel!

“Games people play” has some awesome sauce to it.

My English gets better just listening to you two speak.

Time to give The Guess Who a listen. I think you guys would appreciate "No Sugar Tonight/New Mother Nature" for the way two songs are seamlessly woven together (plus it rocks), but they have a lot of good music to choose from, and Burton Cummings can sing his a$s off.

My first year in college. This was extremely popular (I grew up in the Netherlands), and new for all of us who were too young for Pink Floyd. I would say this fitted in with the ELO and Supertramp style, symphonic rock etc.

You should react to Old and Wise by Alan Parsons Project! Its one of my favourite songs by them.

"Does he have other great songs...? Gentlemen, you have only skimmed the surface of what APP has to offer.

Yes, he engineered Pink Floyd's "Dark Side Of The Moon" as well as he assisted on the Beatles "Abby Road" album.

Alan Parsons was involved in the recording of Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon

“(The System of) Doctor Tarr and Professor Feather” is a must. Don’t sleep on “Breakdown” either. So many great tracks 😎

Yes, you've heard this interlude if you ever watched a Bulls home game.

Oh boy! You guys bring me back... I was singing in a band in 81-82 and we were doing some Alan Parson, this one and my favorite “Games people play”. Loved it. 🤗

Turn of a Friendly Card, Old and Wise, Time Those are three, off the top of my head, that I think you'll get the poetry slam reaction to the lyrics.

"A Dream Within A Dream" / "The Raven" from their debut album TALES OF MYSTERY AND IMAGINATION (1976). The entire album is a concept piece based on the stories and poems of Edgar Allan Poe.

“From North Carolina, at guard, 6’6, MICHAAAAEL JOOOORDAAAAN” .......love it, what an Intro.......go for "The Raven", "Turn on a friendly card" and of course "Games People Play".

Mellow Somber...slow... Introspective voice and lyrics & They have another song that's really sad called Time🧐🎶

“The turn of a friendly card” should be next. The song and perhaps the album as it is a complete story. You know what. Start with the song

As a man of a certain age, I think Sirius needs 20,000 cheering fans and a guy screaming "From North.. Carolina.. 6'6 guard...."

I so love how you two break down lyrics as well as the melody. This wasn’t my favorite choice when I saw it on the feed but because I trust your opinions I listened. You continually deliver introspective thought to each and every song.

Annnnd nowwwww, the starting line-up for youuuur world champion Chicagoooooo Bullllllllls... ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Zn6kiimEsYc.html

Check out "I wouldn't wanna be like you"
