The bass player in my band loves Asia, and the question came up.  Are there any bands out there, past or present, heavily inspired by Asia?  I think possibly GTR sounds a lot like Asia.  Maybe Emerson, Lake, and Powell too?

I don't know of any. I think Asia failed to reach their full potential, and therefore did not have the impact that many people would have expected from them.

I don't think Asia inspired anyone. There are lots of bands with keys in the 80s though, maybe check that out?!

I can't think of any. Enchant maybe a little bit but probably more Rush with them. I think because Asia were more pop oriented most bands take inspiration from the bands the members came from rather than Asia themselves. There may however be some bands not part of the prog scene who are inspired by Asia but I don't know who they are(if they even exist). 

Ok, I just looked it up on allmusic and here are the bands listed who apparently followed Asia: 

As you can see some of them are not prog.

None as Asia were strictly the followers of 80's musical trends and did not start any.

For the record World Trade always said that they were inspired by Yes but it was a good try.

Blind Owl " Debut At Dusk" 1988 Usa
Both albums are totally influenced by Asia.

 I entirely agree I created a great expectation about ASIA and despite I think his first release is a good album, stayed very far from the sound which I have waited !!!

He was one of a kind. Never be another Frank Zappa that's for sure.

Sometimes Journey reminds me of Asia, but Journey pre-dates Asia by several years.

not true, the two bands have nothing in common, other than the fact that they have keyboardists (LOL). 

none of the bands in that list were inspired by Asia. Seeing Enchant in the list, especially, gives me a headache. :)))
