There are actually at least two bands called Asia, which band are you guys talking about?

I am a fan of both. I like the British super-group called Asia (with the original line-up: Steve Howe, Geoff Downes, Carl Palmer, and John Wetton) I also like the Rapid City band called Asia. I intended the to post the '82 debut album by British super-group Asia mostly because in a way I was super-curious to see how Trollheart would pan Asia like how he puts down Abacab or anything I like. So I was looking for Trollheart to tell me what Asia done wrong, but I might not ever know.

Back when blank. made MB Classics, I took my list I was intending for The Album Club and put them there. Now they seem to be permanently stuck in a queue. So for better or worse they are there, and they could have been the albums up for review in The Album Club.
  1. Blind Willie McTell ‎– Atlanta Twelve String (1949 recording)
  2. The Only Ones - The Only Ones (1978)
  3. Asia - Asia (1982)
  4. All Natural Lemon & Lime Flavors - All Natural Lemon & Lime Flavors (1996)
  5. Gregory & The Hawk ‎– Moenie And Kitchi (2008)

Kind of. I often don't like Neapolitan's picks, and usually when Occult calls an album “unassailable” I tend to disagree, but here I have to agree whole-heartedly.
I don't understand why Trollheart said "picks" (plural), cause I only had one pick prior to that album in The Album Club. It seems like a Freudian slip perhaps where he made up his mind and will always deliberately not like my album picks. Unless he was talking about the other list? idk
