Loved the first Asia record, especially when they decided to rock(Soul Survivor). While i ackknowledge these guys are all fantastic musicians, i dont care for any of their past affiliations. Never considered Yes a rock band.

Rock Authority,

If you do not consider Yes to be a rock band, then what do you consider them to be? What genre do they belong to, instead?

Excellent band. Top-notch writers/musicians...
Five great albums by the original lineup.
And what makes that incrediable, is that
the last 3 albums were recorded during
the reunion period (2007-2012).

It's a travesty that they've not even been considered when sh*t like Eminem is already in. Asia was a supergroup of the highest order, with incredible musical and songwriting talent. Some of their contemporaries have been inducted, so I still have a glimmer of hope that Asia might eventually get their due. It's just unfortunate that John Wetton will not see it if it ever does happen.

Three great songs in the form of "Heat of the moment", "Only time will tell" and "Don't cry". I don't see them ever getting considered for the rock and roll hall of fame though. 80s prog has hardly aged well.

Asia deserves to be in long before any (C)rap band !!!
