Al Stewart is one of the finest artists ever.

[@rac7773]

My favorite.

[@billmiller4972]

Alan Parsons is a legend. He not only wrote awesome music himself but he worked with all the giants of music, including the Beatles and Pink Floyd.

[@Rebelconformist82]

yeah ,and I know his son ,Danny

[@prowlermadmax2]

Wow I didn't know Alan Parsons had produce Al Stewart Records, you did a great job, they sound awesome. "Time" from The Alan parsons project was our class song when I graduated from High School in 1983.

Alan Parsons, Al Stewart, and at the end he mentions Justin Hayward. That's my holy trinity right there. ❤️

[@MarbleyeRecords]

I was interested in his work on Modern Times...the first one he did for Al Stewart. The production was light years ahead of Stewart's previous record Past Present and Future which was very dry sounding. MT has this a wonderful spatial use of reverb which was perfect for the material, which was terrific.

[@rac7773]

Both albums were phenomenal, IMO.

[@rac7773]

Thank you, AP!!!

[@rblauson]

ABSOLUTE GENIUS AND LEGEND

[@norwegianzound]

Alan Parsons was pretty good, too.

[@rblauson]

@@norwegianzound Agreed. I might even like the APP better than Al Stewart but I respect both of their talents.

[@SLB4523]

How can one criticize P,P and P. A masterwork.

[@steveg219]

Everyone focuses on Dark Side of the Moon, but I think Year of the Cat was equal or better

[@asrarul12]

Is this at Abbey Roads? Bowers and Wilkins speakers looking at you.

[@williamcap2236]

And we shall call it the Alan Parsons Project............

[@georgeisaac9european387]

I honestly feel, had it not been for Parsons and the sax solo played by Kenzie, he might have just remained an obscure folk artist.

[@dougreed2257]

I doubt it,great songs are great songs,but it helped yes!

[@Isleofskye]

On The Border? Roads To Moscow? Time Passages et al.. I think he would have made it:)

[@Morongobill]

Al wholeheartedly embraced the sax after he heard Phil's one take YOTC sax solo. Kudos to Alan for insisting on it during production.

[@Rebelconformist82]

no, he's a master story teller, and poet

[@bluerfoot]

but the best of the three is modern times.

[@sunsin1592]

Perhaps the least insightful interview ever.
