I've included every significant album except the debut, which most acknowledge was their best. I've also included the two Wetton-Downes Icon albums, both of which have more original members than most of the Payne-era albums.

ARENA – for being truly latter day ... a close draw with AQUA actually.
progressive rock and rural tranquility don't match. true or false?

Phoenix.Howe's guitar work on that album is superb.

The ICON vol1......a WETTON/DOWNWES collaboration which lead to the re-formation of the original ASIA line-up.
Agree with the Progtologist: Howe does a great job on PHOENIX.However tha album needs an edgier WETTON.

I'll go to my grave convinced that Alpha was their best. I loved that album in high school and still enjoy it.
