Asia is a Progressive rock act. Their sound grew out of Styx, Krokus, Dare, The Buggles and Barclay James Harvest. Those roots explain a lot about how Asia arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as GTR, Boston, Night Ranger, Journey and Anderson Bruford Wakeman Howe, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into GTR and Renaissance, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 36 connections around Asia, reaching back through Styx and forward to GTR.
