Part of the reason the Alan Parsons Project was so radio friendly was because it really was a wolf in a soft-rock band’s clothing along the lines of an Air Supply. What’s more, the Alan Parsons Project actually had hits, ranging from “Damned If I Do” to “Games People Play” to “Eye in the Sky” to the divine Phil Spector-influenced “Don’t Answer Me”. The outfit is an anomaly because it was a sort of progressive rock band or art rock band that made concept albums chiefly during the late ’70s and early ’80s, a time when most dinosaur rock bands of similar ilk were either adapting to new sounds (Rush, Genesis) or were going the way of the dodo (Emerson, Lake & Palmer). The Alan Parsons Project is an interesting anomaly in pop culture history.
