If Asia went with the style that UK had I would have voted for them but it is Sleepytime for me.

Of course! Those of us that voted Asia are merely idiots aren't we? So sad that I have no taste.

You have taste, even if it's bad taste. ;)

I probably like some music that you also like so I guess you're right.

Out of curiosity, why did you decide to do this poll. Was it because both have many detractors? I mean I can say that Asia is maybe the worst band that would spring to my mind in Prog Related, and SGM would've been the first to spring to my mind as least liked in the RIO/Avant prog category (it's actually quite well liked by various people who are not seriously into RIO/Avant music). Or perhaps you chose SGM because you thought it would give Asia a chance to win? It's not surprising that SGM would be leading because Asia is a much maligned stuporgroup.

SGM are the least liked in Avant? That's news to me.
I guess I can sort of understand liking Asia, but you shouldn't be surprised that most people prefer almost anything else.

Zing! As I always say, to each his or her own tastes. Most members here can't help but share some tastes even if they would rather not share any of the same tastes with certian people. I might move to CrunkArchives so I could feel fairly assured of my own musical palette's superiority, but really I don't think my taste is objectively good -- just good for me. You like Asia, I prefer Area. Vive la difference.

My brain ticks in quite simple ways, I was going over my collection and got stuck at the Asia albums, wich I like quite a lot. Suddenly I thought: The majority of PA Forum Users probably hate Asia, they will probably find them cheesy, poppy, too AOR, etc. Then I thought of bands I find irritating, headache causing, absolutely unlikeable, etc, but who are probaly considered very prog, very avantgarde, very cool by the good folks on the PA forum. SGM came up! Voila - that´s why I paired them.

I didn't mean that SGM is the least liked in the RIO/Avant category, I meant that it was the one that I least liked (thought that was clear especially considering my earlier post), and I have a very large collection of music in that category. Having revisted it, I do like the band more. Still, I don't think it's ever going to become as liked as say Art Zoyd to me. I'm curious why the poll starter thought of this poll. EDIT: which I see he answered well above. Thanks, Manuel.

Asia is terrible, but there is Prog Metal, Rap and R&B that is still far worse.
So vote for MSG! Eh, I mean SGM

I really love SGM. I have a hard time sitting through the only Asia album I own, which is their debut.

No, they just force themselves to think that a supergroup gathering people from their favourite prog bands must be good.

Of course.
Interesting theory that I have forced myself to like them. But wrong.

I liked Asia even before I knew they where a Supergroup! So yes, I agree with Snow Dog, this theory is wrong.

ok, so maybe it's linked to the cover ?
Because the music is really rubbish (and I am objective / I am a very eclectic guy, I like a lot of pop, but Asia is just nothing).
