Martin @port perran , Asia is a supergroup formed in the very early 1980s, the original line up was Steve Howe (Yes) on guitar, Geoff Downes (Yes) on keyboards, John Wetton on bass and vocals (UK/King Crimson) and Carl Palmer on drums (ELP). Their first album was a hit and included "Heat of the Moment" as posted by Mick. The band has gone multiple line up changes since their debut and has released 13 studio albums, only constant Geoff Downes remains from the original line-up and are still active.

Try this one, Martin


Asia are probably best known for this track........

Just to comment on a few that I missed over the last couple of days :

Asia - sorry, I know nothing about them and will not be investigating further.

ZZ Top - again not my thing but actually Rough Boy does sound listenable. It won't be going onto any of my playlists though.

Wuthering Heights - just no!

Argent - Dance in the Smoke. Yes, nice track @Newportnobby .

Smart! I may have to steal that technique,  or at least let it inform my version.

Geez I actually remember that Argent song.

I have 'Hold your head up' on 45, but prefer this track off the CBS sampler album 'Fill your head with rock'

I wondered what on earth that was in the foreground at first glance. I definitely had to look twice 

I seem to have missed a couple of posts!

Oh dear Asia was never the sum of its parts, very AOR.

Wuthering Heights, nothing like Kate Bush!

ZZ Top certainly had their moments - "Gimme All Your Loving".

Now I quite like "Hold Your Head Up", saw them at Brunel University.

Love the way the bass player has a combo guitar and never uses it. Is that so he can pretend he's also a musician 

Argent - '72

Another blast from the past - this time 1972.

I saw Argent a couple of times and they always played this but it's not one of my favourites I'm afraid.

Nevertheless, everyone will know it :

You will recognise the show presenter too.
