The decade of the '80's means so many different things to oh so many people, but to me the '80's, more specifically 1982 was the year I entered high school. This portion of the '80's was intertwined with school, girls, and music and all of the trappings that went with it. The music of the '80's had a profound effect on the generation, it was an era that helped shape my musical palate, and bands like Asia were building blocks to that palate.
