I don't have a worst prog lineup -- I just want to congratulate you on spelling "gist' correctly.
  I believe that's the first time that's ever happened in this forum! Weigh too go!

Worst (Dream) Prog lineup?I think ASIA sums that up pretty much. Holy crap they suck. -------------

Now, I'm going to have to contradict you there. Asia were no good at being Yes or King Crimson or ELP, because they were too busy being Asia, and they were pretty good at that. A classy rock band, even if the lyrics were pretty dire at times. |

Well, true, they did played their songs OK, but, i mean, LOOK AT THE DAMN LINE UP! I still cannot understand how Steve Howe, John Wetton and Carl Palmer managed to play AOR instead of prog when they got together. In a degree, you are right because they didn't played prog rock at all, so Asia can't be classified as a prog line up (if fact, i don't even know why they are listed here, but that is another story), but they were (and still are) progressive rock legends, so i expect them to be valued as prog musicians. That's why i think Asia sucks so much: it's hard to cope how such talented musicians gave birth to such atrocity! So, though not being prog at all, Asia IS listed here in PROG-related, so i think its fair to list them here. -------------

Pfeh. It was the 80s I think the thing that struck me about their debut was how much I liked their take on 'AOR' (a few block harmonies, but otherwise a clear album, catchy melodies, a bit of depth, individually memorable songs). The playing was still great, the progression was there around the edges. Honestly, I see no reason that musicians should stick to one 'genre' all the time, particularly when, like prog, it's not really a genre.Anyway, Open Your Eyes  ... one of the better prog songs of the 80s. |
