    The lead singer of Asia looks like Russell Crowe with Luke Skywalker's hair. Also in the Don't Cry video isn't that the woman from Spinal Tap?

    Manny: In the honor of this thread, I changed my myspace song.

    Hope that makes you happy, or at least gets you back on there. We miss you!

    I'll go with Asia based on the past accomplishments of its members - We're talking King Crimson vets here. Also, as some of you older folks may know, the continent of Asia was called East Europe before they changed their name after "Heat of the Moment" fever swept across East Europe in the early 80's.

    This thread is funny. I really liked a few of Asia's songs as that was when I was in HS. Europe was when my bro was in HS.

    America hands down. Their songs remind me of when I was a kid, before life got crazy.

    If you're talking about "Africa" by The Meters, then we would be in agreement.

    I've posted that clip before. It's awesomeness cannot be denied: the kids making a beeline away from the stage as they start playing; the keyboard riff being played with only the 2 index fingers, the going on stage to move something, looking over, and adjusting dude's guitar....

    Greatest. Cover. Ever.

    WOW. Is that Anton Maiden? I thought he only did Maiden covers. That's hilarious.

    Oh, wait, there are actually two bands called Pangea. My joke is dead.

    Nevertheless, you people should listen to Savina Yannatou.

    I've always had a soft and embarrassing spot in my heart for America.

    Those are some really silly bands. I think by best we would have to vote for silliest. I don't just don't know which one is more cheasy.

    If we can substitute a country in there, I would agree with Japan.

    I guess I should vote for America since they are really two continents.
