The Alan Parsons Project releases "I Robot" 1977


June must have been a busy time for the Alan Parsons Project, since at least 3 of their albums were released in that month.  I've been celebrating their releases in reverse chronological order though.  I Robot, their second album, was released in June 1977.  They released Pyramid the following June and Eye in the Sky June 1982.  I Robot was supposed to be based on Isaac Asimov's "I, Robot" but since the movie rights had already been sold they changed the name and dropped the comma.  The album is more about robots than Asimov's trilogy.

I Robot reached #9 on the Billboard 200 and three singles were released:  "I Wouldn't Want to Be Like You", "Don't Let it Show", and "Day After Day (The Show Must Go On)."

The Alan Parsons Project releases "Eye in the Sky" 1982



"Eye in the Sky" the sixth studio album from British band, The Alan Parsons Project, was released June 1982.  Although the title track was the best-selling single from the album, "Sirius" the opening track has been used by numerous sports teams and celebrities as their entrance song.

It's a haunting but awesome song!
