British progressive rock band renowned for concept albums and studio production excellence.Studio-based musical collective formed in 1975 by audio engineer Alan Parsons and songwriter Eric Woolfson. Produced 10 concept albums exploring themes like Edgar Allan Poe's works, human psychology, and societal issues before disbanding in 1990. Featured rotating vocalists and instrumentalists while maintaining consistent cinematic soundscapes.

• Contrary to its name, the band was a collaborative effort between Parsons (production) and Woolfson (songwriting), not Parsons' solo project.
• Never performed live concerts during active years due to complex studio production requirements and rotating membership.
• Parsons worked as engineer on Pink Floyd's 'The Dark Side of the Moon' (1973) before forming the project, influencing their sonic approach.
• Woolfson later adapted their albums into musicals including 'Freudiana' (1990) and 'Gaudi' (1995) after the project dissolved.
• Legal disputes over band name rights arose post-breakup, preventing reunion tours despite ongoing fan demand.
• Received 11 Grammy nominations but never won, remaining a cult favorite despite multi-platinum album sales.
