The Best of Asia: Live

Asia emerged in the early '80s, seemingly a holdover from the '70s progressive rock scene. Featuring members from seminal art rock bands like King Crimson (John Wetton), Emerson, Lake and Palmer (Carl Palmer), and Yes (Steve Howe), alongside Geoff Downes from The Buggles, their music sometimes featured indulgent instrumentals. However, Asia also crafted surprisingly poppy songs that propelled them to the forefront of popular music.
