The Alan Parsons Project
The Alan Parsons Project were a British rock duo formed in London in 1975. Its official membership consisted of producer, audio engineer, musician and composer Alan Parsons, and singer, songwriter and pianist Eric Woolfson.
The Alan Parsons Project released eleven studio albums over a 15-year career, the most successful ones being I Robot (1977), The Turn of a Friendly Card (1980) and Eye in the Sky (1982). Many of their albums are conceptual in nature and focus on science fiction, supernatural, literary and sociological themes. Among the group's most popular songs are "I Wouldn't Want to Be Like You", "Games People Play", "Time", "Sirius", "Eye in the Sky", and "Don't Answer Me".
The band's music is described as progressive rock, art rock, progressive pop, and soft rock. "Sirius" is the best known and most frequently heard of all Parsons/Woolfson songs. It was used as entrance music by various American sports teams, notably by the Chicago Bulls during their 1990s NBA dynasty, and is currently used as an entrance theme for the Nebraska Cornhuskers college football team. It was also used as the entrance theme for Ricky Steamboat in pro wrestling of the mid-1980s.
