Asia

Asia, a British supergroup formed in 1981, brought together members from progressive rock bands like Yes, King Crimson, and Emerson, Lake & Palmer. Their self-titled debut album was a commercial success, with hits like “Heat of the Moment” and “Only Time Will Tell” showcasing a more mainstream rock sound compared to their progressive rock roots. Asia’s blend of catchy hooks, polished production, and skilled musicianship made them one of the iconic bands of the early 1980s, leaving a significant mark on the classic rock genre.
