Well, you should really hear them to understand. Having all these
amazing musicians making such banal music, it’s rather akin to using a
Fabergé egg as a doostop.

They had:
*Steve Howe (The guitarist from YES, who was rated the 22nd greatest
guitarist of all time on digitaldreamdoor.com AND Yes was rated NUMBER
ONE for greatest prog bands)
*John Wetton (Bassist from KING CRIMSON, rated 26th greatest bassist
on digitaldreamdoor.com and King Crimson was rated 2nd greatest prog
band)
*Geoff Downes (Keys player from YES, rated 46th greatest keyboardist on ddd)
*Carl Palmer (Drummer from ELP, rated 6th greatest drummer on ddd AND ELP was rated 4th greatest prog band))
So now, I can't imagine these guys being bad. You have been owned.

There's a slight flaw in your argument - " I've never heard them"
so you're not really in a position to comment! Yes, they had 4 of the
best instrumentalists in the history of prog rock, but that doesn't
mean they will make great music together. Look what happened when
McCartney and Wonder got together!

Asia is not bad.....for AOR, and they sound nothing like any of the members previous bands. Actually, they sound more like Toto or another AOR band. I think that they made good 80s music......(O and I am sure you have heard "Heat of the Moment" before, it was one of the biggest songs of the 80s  )

You know Owner of a Lonely Heart and I Can't Dance, don't you? So much for "great artists always make great music".
BTW: I don't know Asia either, I'll keep out of this argument from now on.
