Asia

Asia is a band that formed in the 80's and consisted of members from other big groups of the 70's.  Carl Palmer came from Emerson, Lake & Palmer, Steve Howe came from Yes, and John Wetton from King Crimson.  The band's debut album would consist of their two biggest hits, and it went down hill from there.  The band has gone through several line up changes over the years and in 2006 the original line up reunited.  It was announced in 2007 that the band is heading back to the studio to record another album.  As of 2007 the band has eight studio albums.  They also have several outtake, live, greatest hits sets, and import albums.  I plan on checking out all 8 of their studio albums and keep the ones I enjoy.  Interesting side note... Asia's first seven studio albums begin and end with the letter A.  Their 8th album broke that tradition in 2004.
