^On a serious note I have to agree that that the whole prog to pop thing is one that I avoid like the plague, however I don't  consider Talk Talk or Alan Parsons Project to ever be prog related in the frist place or as, my previous post suggests, I don't consider Learning To Fly to a pop song. I know this is a loaded question, but by what criteria were these judgements arrived at?

^Agreed! BTW, I grew up listening to the Archies on AM radio so some modern day pop like the APP still strikes me at times as deep, serious music. (But only for a second.)Wink

Y U no add King Crimson or Rush?

On a serious note, "Eye In The Sky". Heck, the entire album is fine pop.
He looks at this world and wants it all... so he strikes, like Thunderball!

Turn It On Again from that list. Talk Talk released some fine singles, but It's My Life ain't one of my favourites.

Asia is the self-titled debut studio album by British rock band Asia, released in 1982. It was Billboard's #1 Album Of Year for 1982. The album contains their biggest hit and signature song, "Heat of the Moment", which reached #4 in the US on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.[3]

A great song from a great album.

I voted Owner Of A Lonely Heart BTW. Even after 30 years I still put on the volume of my car radio when that song is being played.
