    But they're not North or South America. So doesn't count.

    Still, that's awesome.

    I like Asia the band better, but "Final Countdown" has to be the winner in this particular contest.

    Does Ann Wilson qualify? She was continent-sized when Heart recorded These Dreams.

    Pre-emptive shame: I totally suck for writing that.

    I vote for Asia by the way. Fuck Europe and their Adam Curry lookalike singer (or is it the other way around?). They make me want to pistol-whip a random Scandanavian.
     
  4. I immediately thought of Europe when I saw the thread title and then went to YouTube to look up which Asia song you were talking about. The Asia song sounds a bit more melodic, but that might be only because I haven't heard it a billion times, like I have Final Countdown - that song will be reverberating through my skull long after I'm dead. Also, I don't know which came first but Asia's sounds like a ripoff of Europe.

    I have to vote Final Countdown.
     
  5. Because of Gob Bluth, I also vote for Final Countdown.

    I did the exact same thing. Saw this thread title then Final Countdown started playing in my head. I then searched youtube for the Asia song. Unlike "Who let the dogs out" or other stadium songs, Final Countdown has staying power.

    Is Afrika Bambaataa eligible, or does his spelling do him in?

    So are we on Threadjack Highway or a Thread With No Name?
