Include tracks from compilation albums Exclude tracks from compilation albums The same track can appear on multiple albums, so excluding tracks from compilation albums helps to remove duplicates from this list.

The 12 tracks that appear on The Best of the Alan Parsons Project include some of their greatest singles, like "I Wouldn't Want to Be Like You" from 1977's I Robot and the inducing "Games People Play" off of The Turn of a Friendly Card. Even though these songs are splendid all by themselves, they seem to lose their conceptual weight when taken away from their original albums. Present is their biggest single and most alluring piece, "Eye in the Sky," from the album of the same name, and the entrancing "Time" from Turn of a Friendly Card. Pyramania" and "You Don't Believe," representing both Pyramid and Ammonia Avenue, are also included, as are some of their finest ballads with "Old and Wise" and "Don't Let It Show. Lucifer" is the only instrumental on the collection, but is also one of their most sophisticated.

The British prog rock collective consisted of core members Alan Parsons and Eric Woolfson, who created music for the band alongside a rotating roster of guest performers and session musicians. If you want to know the best Alan Parsons Project album of all time, this list will answer your question. Examples of albums on this list include Tales of Mystery and Imagination (1976), Eye in the Sky (1982), and I Robot (1977). The Turn of a Friendly Card.

In 1985 the Alan Parsons Project released the charting album "Vulture Culture. Though the album was commercially weaker than their previous albums, the music was relatively consistent. The song "Let's Talk About Me" reached on the Billboard chart and on the Mainstream Rock chart. The song "Days Are Numbers (The Traveller)" reached on the Billboard chart and on the Mainstream Rock chart. Both songs are good, if somewhat mundane and less than inspired, particularly in comparison to the music of the Alan Parsons Project's earlier years. Rather, I prefer the earliest albums by this group, and their first "best of" collection, both of which focus on the group that reveled in being different.
