Asia is a British arena rock / prog rock super group that was founded in 1981. Known for their unique blend of progressive rock and melodic pop, Asia quickly rose to fame with their self-titled debut album, which became the best-selling album in the world in 1982. The band's lineup consists of *John Wetton* on bass and vocals, *Steve Howe* on guitar, *Geoff Downes* on keyboards, and *Carl Palmer* on drums.

Influenced by bands such as Kansas, Saga, Yes, and Emerson Lake & Palmer, Asia has created a sound that is both powerful and intricate. Their music combines complex musical arrangements with catchy hooks and memorable melodies. With hits like "Heat of the Moment" and "Only Time Will Tell," Asia has become synonymous with classic rock anthems.

Over the years, Asia has continued to release critically acclaimed albums and tour extensively around the world. Their live performances are known for their energy and musicianship, showcasing the immense talent of each member. Whether you're a fan of progressive rock or simply appreciate great music, Asia is a band that should not be missed.

Prog-rock pasts gave way to pop fame as Asia debuted with this 1982 #1 smash. Wetton/Howe/Downes/Palmer eclipsed the success of Yes, ELP and King Crimson as they scored smashes with Heat of the Moment and Only Time Will Tell. An '80s rock-supergroup classic!
