The Alan Parsons Project - I Wouldn't Want To Be Like You (1977) DayOne Reacts

[@rayphelps2129]

This is off the "I Robot' album, which is a great listen in it's entirety.

[@mickzed6746]

Turn of a friendly card and I robot are great albums.

[@rayphelps2129]

Agreed

[@soupsyz-themusicaladventur1649]

I flipped when I heard this on the radio for the first time. Funky and chunky!

[@51Dss]

I've been asking reaction video content creators do get into the Alan Parsons project for a long time. Thanks for doing this song...but don't stop with this song...there is much more.

[@lgambertin4018]

The guitar droning is found on Another Brick in the Wall by Floyd, Alan Parsons was the producer of Dark Side of the Moon

[@mackssboo]

Parsons was the sound engineer on albums including the Beatles' Abbey Road (1969) and Let It Be (1970), Pink Floyd's The Dark Side of the Moon (1973), and the eponymous debut album by Ambrosia in 1975.

[@clannad99germany70]

He was only the engineer, nothing else !!!

[@mackssboo]

@@clannad99germany70 exactly

[@tommythompson9565]

Saw this heading and immediately said out loud , "Uh oh !! It's on now!!" Any track from this album -- I, Robot -- is worth a reaction. And away we go ....

[@51Dss]

Have to say - I LOVE those dance moves...back in the day I loved getting on the floor with a girl who really felt the music when she danced. love it love it love it.

[@ericwagner1824]

This song is about a robot saying how much better off he is than us pathetic mortals. The Voice is eerie and is about a robot unable to escape his programming. My personal favorite is Breakdown about a poor robot who glitched and needs a reboot. FANTASTIC ALBUM

[@flamarlamb]

This song always reminded me of Atlanta Rhythm Section, So Into You. Similar sound.

[@robertarthurs328]

Yes similar cadence

[@RM-ks8pp]

That guitar riff sounds like Eye Of The Tiger by Survivor.

[@CatherinePearl100]

Before there was Eye of the Tiger, there was Another Brick In the Wall.

[@ChrisChapman-jo3jo]

Love Alan Parsons Project!!

[@hansgunterfrei3448]

Alan Parsons was original an Sound-Engineer and Producer, he works with famous bands, like The Beatles and Pink Floyd and other musicans before he founding his own band: The Alan Parsons Projekt. My favourite Album is still their first Album: Tales of Mystery and Imagination, but the famoust Album is "Eye in the sky" and also the same named song is the most played song. I have seen "The Alan Parsons Project" four times live, but since the bands vocalist Eric Woolfson passed away in 2009, the music or the songs of the band isn´t as god as before - that´s my mind. I´m very sad about this, but my love to the band continues to exist. Love and Peace to all Fans of The Alan Parsons Project.

[@craigmarkowski7156]

Excellent Choice !!

[@davidboivin7996]

The album I Robot is perfect for just kicking back and listening with some good 🎧

[@jimflores9098]

Greatness!!!

[@gazoontight]

Lovely Angela. Alan Parsons Project has a great body of work to investigate.

[@candicelitrenta8890]

Alan Parsons was the mixer producer, and he had musicians do it. All of the vocalists here hired from various sources. This singer was in the Hollies back in the 60's. Long Cool Woman in a Red Dress was his big one from back then.

[@RonnieCarter-um1ir]

Check out Don't Answer Me, Damned If I Do Damned If I Don't But I Love You by The Alan Parsons Project.

[@phila3884]

The guitar riff is closer to the intro to Pink Floyd's The Wall than anything else.

[@lamusiclover2264]

I think the guitar riff you might be reminded of (just a guess) might be from " Edge of Seventeen" by Stevie Nicks, though in her song it's much faster and louder.

[@christianbrasso8257]

one of my fave tunes from alan parsons. It's from the album I Robot. His albums should be listened to from start to finish as it's a thematic album. check out breakdown, dr. tarr and professor feather, eye in the sky, pschobabble, games people play, what goes up, one more river, can't take it with you, children of the moon.

[@ericwagner1824]

Do what you need to make you feel better

[@bobbelleci9995]

So, this was 1977. The DISCO era. Many bands music were influenced by Disco during this time. When the Rolling Stones put out some Disco songs... I thought that wouldn't happen. That "groove" comes in sync with the the high-hat symbol and bass. So, yeah. Great album. I Robot.

[@TheCornishCockney]

Turn of a Friendly Card is in my top ten all time. Fantastic album.

[@sledgehammer6698]

Mine too...

[@johnnieangel99]

Oh man, Takes me back to when I was a DJ on y high school radio station.

[@HectorCaceres-yg6dv]

Hi a beautiful song congratulations from chile

[@theodoreritola7641]

MORE GROOVY 70s music

[@patrickv391]

The guitar rift on "I wouldn't wanna be like you" (1977) is similar to Fleetwood Macs "Edge of Seventeen" in (1981) Hauntedly Familiar

[@rickd8376]

Tales of Mystery and Imagination is another great APP album

[@ace2k707]

This song was several years before Eye Of The Tiger or The Wall. Sometimes songs just sound a little bit alike 🎶😎

[@COLINWARD-v3y]

Good song by Alan Parsons. His project albums were always interesting and he put together some fine musicians. 'Goldbug' is a great instrumental from him. Eye in the sky is a favourite album. The guitar was a bit like Pink Floyd who Alan Parsons engineered for on Dark side of the moon.

[@StephenGagnon-q3p]

If you want to comment get it right.this song was years before eye of the tiger.

[@pamagnolia]

Great band. Superb music!! 😅

[@phila3884]

I seriously haven't heard this song since, like 1981. Total time warp...this was on alternative radio, and occasionally on what we used to call rock radio.

[@willfromyadkinville]

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@marklavor6618]

Angela, listen too I am the eye 👁️ of the sky looking at you from him

[@Suburban_Mystic]

The riff almost reminds me of Eye of the Tiger by Survivor.

[@enriquehuertasbellido4339]

👏🏻👏🏻😃

[@BruceStanton-pb7wt]

Future projects might be whole CD songs. My choices would be Cutting Crew "Broadcast News" & or INXS "KICK" Angel Ahh. Maybe you already have! I'm always a day late & dollar short

[@alejandrobojorquez6181]

ZACAR ORCHESTRA - "" Darkness (Remastered) "" from 1977 has an amazing and fire guitar riff throughout the song Highly recommend it too 🎸🎹 🎺🎻🔥

[@jamesanthony5257]

I couldn’t figure out if this is man not wanting to be like the soulless Robot, or the Robot not wanting to be a mess like man. RIP Eric Woolfson

[@ericwagner1824]

All of the songs on this album are told from the robot's POV.

[@shanedesselle2590]

Awesome!

[@stevehand4253]

Nice great song 👍

[@allengray5748]

HAAA many comments on what song you are struggling for. I'm leaning towards EYE OF THE TIGER. Great band to explore oh BTW Thanks Steve and you too Day One lady 💕 Peace 🕊️☮️♾️😎🎸🤟🏼

[@BrentsTreehouse]

bass is like "eye of the tiger"

[@Huskerbrotha]

That is what I was thinking too!

[@theodoreritola7641]

coppy cats 80s lol

[@zoololoo1]

you heard that guitar riff from Pink Floyd - Run Like Hell

[@miguelbotelho2613]

that guitar at the beginning may also remind you of the intro to the song Eye of the tiger by Survivor.

[@BeachBumZero]

Guitar riff was copied in the song "Eye of the Tiger" by Survivor

[@kentnottingham9635]

It’s a David Gilmour riff from The Wall album by Pink Floyd. Didn’t invent it but he made it popular

[@ericarachel55]

classic

[@dalemccall5118]

Greg Guidry song (going down) has a guitar 🎸 riff similar to this song. A lost hit of the 80s.

[@allengray5748]

PART II 😁 I'm betting you haven't done BREAK DOWN!! Great tune! ☯️☮️

[@shawnngatai4745]

❤❤❤❤

[@larrymead151]

APP has some great albums. You should check out more. I think EVE is my favorite.

[@markzellner1702]

Pink Floyd - Run Like Hell has a similar guitar part.

[@ronaldkerr]

Guitar Intro...Eye Of The Tiger???Possibly

[@johnfrankart702]

The guitar rift sounded like Eye of the Tiger

[@booterspaw]

You should listen to "To One in Paradise".

[@ifitrocks9417]

It sounds similar to Atlanta Rythm Section

[@kentnottingham9635]

Pink Floyd,Another brick in Wall.

[@theodoreritola7641]

1979

[@geneaikenii1092]

that guitar sounds like some like that of pink floyd's riffs. was that what you were hearing?

[@willfromyadkinville]

sTEVIE Nicks Edge Of Seventeen

[@allenhall8493]

can you react to a great song of memories of a loved one that has past on- Randy Travis- - "The Box"

[@Willster389]

Could you play Sylvia's Mother by Dr Hook please.

[@ThePattymom8]

First comment

[@RVMaxtube]

I don’t remember the opening of this song being so boring. But then, I also never cared for this particular song. In general I like Alan Parsons a lot

[@andreshernandez1180]

Time to get rid of Devin Weston

[@CharlesPhillips-no3sz]

Not Alan Parson's best effort. I suggest "Eye in the Sky" it is WORLDS better than this song.

[@ericwagner1824]

Eye in the Sky gets paired with Sirius. This song is supposed to be paired with I ROBOT

[@EarthWalker2023]
