Tuesday Music Meme Thing

This week's Take Me Back Tuesday from The Music Memoirs:

1. Which band, past or present, would you like to see reunite?
The original lineup of Asia:
John Whetton - Bass and vocals
Geoff Downes - Keyboards
Steve Howe - Guitars
Carl Palmer - Drums
This was, IMHO, the ultimate progressive supergroup. They were not only tremendously talented but also commercially successful. Alas, the quote from Blade Runner about "the light that burns twice as bright burns half as long" is almost a perfect description of this band. I wish they had managed to keep things together longer.

2. What are your three favourite songs by this band?
a. Time Again. Many prog albums from that era feature a song that you know the band recorded just to show off. This is it.
b. Only Time Will Tell. The opening keyboard hook gets me every time.
c. Sole Survivor. I liked this song so much, I used it as a theme song for one of my Champions characters.

3. Which album do you think was the band's best?
As you can probably tell from the songs mentioned above, I think their debut album was their best — and among the best albums of that decade.
