Greatest Opening Synthesizer Riff by a Band Named After a Continent

Europe's "The Final Countdown" or Asia's "Only Time Will Tell?"

Do not be hasty in your answer.

It will dictate what I think of you.

 

"Only Time Will Tell" is more melodic. "The Final Countdown" is more recognizable and simpler.

I'll go with Asia, Jones. Then again, I'm a big fan of Tony Banks, so this shouldn't be a shocker.

 

Europe, and it isn't close.

 

Didn't Antarctica record "Byrdland?" Or was it Weather Report?

*ducks*

 

The Final Countdown was damn near ruined by that Spelling Bee show or whatever it was called.
I just know that the Soup ripped it endlessly.

 

Gob Bluth did his magic act to Final Countdown, thus it wins by a mile.

Plus, Asia sucks balls. Well, expect for Heat of the Moment, which rules.

 

Europe. Any song used so well in the brilliant show "Arrested Development" gets my vote.

 

I am in agreeance

 

C: None of the above.

 

Australia's "Who let the Aborigines Out" was solid at the start, although the song faded a bit in it's 17th minute.

 

Hopefully this won't out me, but I spent two years doing warmups as a marginal high school basketball player warming up to "Only Time Will Tell," I have to vote Asia.
