How many ASIA albums do you own?

[treeduck]

Yeah, another ASIA thread. I just think there's a bunch of ASIA fans hiding in this forum and eventually I'll find them! I can name two of them right now, Tony R and Fridge. Come out and admit your ASIA fanboi status, come out of the shadows and into the light! :madra: :bang bang:

I have the debut ASIA album from 1982 but that's it. I picked up Astra when it was released because I liked the song "Go", but the rest of the album did nothing for me, so I got rid of it.

just the debut. it's one of those records i have lying around cause it's a "big" album but i don't play it much at all.

Criminal! :tsk:

I had the first two on vinyl...maybe the third? I don't know. I think today I only have the debut on CD.

Just AJA

[ST3V]

Only have Then & Now which was handed down by my father.

Years ago, I read about the value of a band being opposite to the size or population of the land they`re named after. It nearly works -

 

Kansas, Boston - Good

America, Europe, Chicago, Texas - Not so good

 

Which always put me off Asia.

Insert 40 YOV joke here.

Besides all the albums, and a couple of live albums, I also have the Asia Live In Asia broadcast on cassette from the night I taped it. 1982, with Greg Lake on bass and vocals.

I had the debut and second album, long ago. The debut is an iconic 80s album. I still like the few hits from it, would need to youtube the other tracks as I don't remember any of them individually. In comparison, I've recently played 90125 from start to finish and listen to a few songs from that album regularly. Both are iconic mid-80s pop-rock-prog, but Yes did it better IMO. I'll take Greg Lake over Jon Anderson on vocals any day though, Greg just has a more pleasing voice.

I have pretty much all the studio albums - some are a bit dodgy but I got them anyway.

[Nova Carmina]

I think I had the first one on cassette . . . maybe the second one, but I definitely bought the third one when it came out, and that was that. I never replaced those tapes with CDs as I did with many things.

I had the debut on vinyl and that's it, but played it a ton. I listened to the album via Amazon Prime just a couple of weeks ago and still enjoyed it. Pretty much all the Asia I need.

 

Take the above comments and replace "Asia" with "Zebra" for my thoughts on that band as well.

[laughedatbytime]

They have more than one album?

It even works for Chicago. Early Chicago good (and smaller in area), late Chicago, bad (and larger).

Numbers 5, 2 and 1 for Sheitcago and Cetera. Saw this on his Patreon page yesterday.

 

"A thing that should not be! You thought we were done with your ass, didn't you, Cetera?" :lol:

There are a couple of tunes on one of the later Asia records that are pretty good: "Holy War" and another I can't remember the title of. "Through my Veins"? Anyway, I thought they sounded like the "old" Asia. Edited February 10, 2022 by toymaker
