Boring desk job - likes simulation and 4x vidya

the type of guy to complain about modern music being shit when listening to shit himself

White dude in his mid to late 40s. Overweight, probably balding, holds a bachelor degree and isn't interested in longtime relationships.

these are all so depressing

well if he listens to asia he's probably pretty ok with how he has it.

Asia as a favorite band is a truly strange choice. If you got into it because you liked the prog bands the members came from, it wouldn't be anywhere near your favorite band because it completely sucks in comparison to all of them. If you came to it cuz you were just a regular dude into ROCKNROLL there was better rock around to choose from. It's not a great band.

that's all just your opinion though. i like them more than any other band.

A mildly fat balding lonely alcoholic.

The dude in the 40 Year Old Virgin movie has that album cover up as a poster in his room... I think that pretty much explains it

boomer

A civilized fellow with good taste

asian man

Can you name two other bands like asia and two completely different genres you like?

The first record is ok. Has like 3 good songs. But all the choruses suck even in the good songs. it's really weird, the verses are good and the choruses are bad because of gross key changes. I thought the second and third album were awful. Haven't listened beyond those. What do you consider their best albums / tracks?

*beep beep individual opinion beep does not compute boop*

I'm just asking out curiosity not to shit on you.

i don't know any other bands that are super similar to asia. i know that drama by yes is pretty similar. i hear them described as aor a lot but they don't sound like most aor to me. they're pretty similar to a lot of 80s neo-prog if you took out the proggier parts.
i like almost all their albums except for a couple more recent ones.
that guy wasn't me.

A white balding dude in his 40s/50s who was reasonably into music when younger and always had some affinity towards prog.

I guess people find it weird because asia is like a stepping stone most of the time.
People orient themselves either to those roine stolt related bands like flower kings or van der graaf generator or something along that line.
Best Asia song?

>Best Asia song?
of the wetton era, only time will tell. overall probably never from arena.

no ones favorite band is asia, they made music to half listen to on the radio and they did a great job at that

my favorite band is asia.

time again, it's like a buttrock mix of yes and elp which works supringly well

i know this has jack shit to do with this thread but goddamn every time someone posts that cover i always end up looking at it for a long time. it’s gorgeous.

yeah, all their album covers are really good except silent nation (which makes up for it by being a really good album).

that what it is, I actually like most of their first album but I could never get fully into it. listening to it right now and every song is at least decent aside from the chorus, but none of the choruses sound like they fit the song

if we're talking about mistakes from the 80s steve howe has more than just asia

is it cheesy? I can't handle much cheese. I'm hesitant to check this album out after reading this thread.

it's mostly less cheesy than a typical 80's album, though heat of the moment is cheesy as fuck so don't listen to that

i wouldn't call it cheesy (though everyone else would). i would call it sincere.
heat of the moment is great.

okie I guess I'll check it out then

if you don't like either of the first two tracks the album's probably not for you, but i hope you enjoy it.

A real sole survivor living in the heat of the moment, his heart telling him, "Don't cry! Go!", but only time will tell.
