Alan Parson's Project 

The Alan Parsons Project were a 1970s-80s group founded by Alan Parsons (previously best known as an engineer and producer of groups and singers as diverse as Pink Floyd, Al Stewart and Pilot) and Eric Woolfson, with a shifting line-up of instrumentalists and singers including Colin Blunstone, John Miles, Steve Harley, Lenny Zakatek and Pilot's Iain Bairnson and David Paton. Their albums are all concept-based but eschew the pretentiousness of prog-rock in favour of a more radio-friendly approach, their stated aim being to create music that lends itself equally to headphone and background listening.

The Alan Parsons Project 

Awesome progressive rock group that was a mix of the WAY TOO over-popularized Beatles and very trippy Pink Floyd. Unlike the Beatles, APP is very relaxed and are less happy and have a cooler much less annoying sound to their music. The only similarity would be the vocal sound. They are much like Pink Floyd in their tune and mellowness. They are more in touch with the world than the too-happy Beatles were.

It's a shame that the Alan Parsons Project isn't as popular as the Beatles. They are way better and less annoying.
