 Topic: 90125 vs Asia
Posted: August 28 2006 at 11:44 |
So which one do you enjoy more? I just hope it won't be the "neither" option  .
Prog purists had better stay away.  No offense.

No one likes these albums? I really find that strange.

Good poll!
I love them both A LOT  ! But whenever I make a list of favourite albums, the Asia debut is most of the times in or just outside my top 10, and 90215 is always lower, so it has to be the Asia debut.
Why? They're both sensational, but I keep listening to the Asia debut, and not as much to 90125.
But the bottomline is: both are BRILLIANT albums from the early eighties.

Yes, of course - much better album than it gets credit for. I'd rather listen to it than to all of Genesis' post-Hackett output.

Asia for me, not even close. And I like most of Yes' output, just not this one. I own it, but almost never play it. It's not even on my iPod.

I enjoy both!! Especially 90125. Additionally, I prefer Alpha over the debut.

Good poll, I love both albums.
Vocals: both wonderfull, hard to choose
Bass: both good and strong, little plus for Squire
Guitar: Howe by a small margin
Drums: Yes by far
Keyboards: Asia
Songs: Asia.
Asia
1. Heat Of The Moment (3:54) ****
2. Only Time Will Tell (4:48) *****
3. Sole Survivor (4:51) *****
4. One Step Closer (4:18) ***
5. Time Again (4:48) ****
6. Wildest Dreams (5:11) *****
7. Without You (5:07) ****

90125
1. Owner Of A Lonely Heart (4:27) *****
2. Hold On (5:15) ****

"90125" by far. I like that album. "Asia" does nothing for me (except make me a bit queasy  ).

Asia for me. The other Asia albums of Wetton's era are disappointingly formulaic with some standouts, but the debut is fine and enjoyable prog tinged AOR. As for Yes, I find that era of the band has dated more than their earlier work has. I don't mind the 80s albums but the flashy production gets a bit much for me...
