UAWIL #25: Asia - Part 1 Asia 1982

in 1982, Asia formed as the 80s first super group with Carl Palmer from Emerson, Lake & Palmer, Steve Howe of Yes, Geoff Downes of The Buggles and John Wetton of King Crimson, Uriah Heep and Roxy Music.  Though maligned as corporate rock, these four progressive maestros created an incredible mix of pop, rock & prog that went on to sell 10 million copies.  Heat of the Moment is an all-time great pop/rock song and has allowed the band to continue in various incarnations over the last 40 years.  This is part 1 of our series on Asia, where we go in-depth on the chart topping debut.
