These Make Your Own Album threads are so much fun to take part in and I haven't seen one previously for the Alan Parsons Project, so here it is. ![]() The rules are simple:- Choose one favourite song from each of the ten albums listed below to create your own personalised compilation album of ten favourite Alan Parsons Project songs. Remember, it's one song per album. ![]() 1. Tales of Mystery and Imagination (1976) 2. I Robot (1977) 3. Pyramid (1978) 4. Eve (1979) 5. The Turn of a Friendly Card (1980) 6. Eye in the Sky (1982) 7. Ammonia Avenue (1984) 8. Vulture Culture (1984) 9. Stereotomy (1985) 10. Gaudi (1987) All of the albums listed above are clickable live links, so if you click on them it'll take you straight to the respective Wikipedia album listings.

it's all a matter of time because I'll have to listen a bit, at least the albums I haven't listened in quite a while. Once i do that, there will be a list.

That's okay. I've yet to make my own albums for Pink Floyd and Kate Bush, and I'm currently halfway through choosing my favourite songs for this thread.

The only reason I'm having trouble creating a Pink Floyd compilation album is simply because there are so many great songs to choose from, so I've decided to compromise by selecting my favourite eight songs from the first eight Pink Floyd albums.

I've been listening to *more* Pink Floyd albums on YouTube today, including the "More" soundtrack.

I took the liberty of adding a special limited edition bonus track from the Alan Parsons & Eric Woolfson album Freudiana (1990) which was intended to be the 11th Alan Parsons Project album.

Mine will be an EP, then, containing just three tracks, but the
first three are often filled with excellent or nifty songs (not pieces
or numbers, just ... songs). Even Pyramids has got its share of weaker moments (like overly symphonic or nearing disco).
But I really can't swallow anything from
Eve onwards: the odd song here & there, but even that ![]() I mean they lost the plot with me, that's for sure, even if I kept listening (or attention) until Eye in The Sky. I haven't owned any APP albums for amost four decades, BTW. 1- The Raven or Doctor Tarr and Professor Fether 2- Some Other Time or The Voice 3- What Goes Up... or Can't Take It With You Another solution would be to go more (mostly) instrumental to be "proggy", ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() 1- A Dream Within a Dream/Raven or the Pavane thing in Usher 2- I Robot or Total Eclipse (but that's not all that suitable in the frame of a compilation) or Ch1 v32 3- Voyageur or In The Lap Of The Gods or Hyper-Gamma-Spaces Geeezzzzz, ![]() ![]() ![]() Edited by Sean Trane - February 15 2020 at 04:10 |

- A Dream within a Dream / The Raven (for me they are one single song, and wouldn't work the same separated).
- I Robot. - The Eagle will rise again. - Lucifer. - The Turn of a Friendly Card parts 1 & 2 (once again edited together is the way they work for me). - Sirius / Eye in the Sky. - Prime Time. - La Sagrada Familia. |
