The interplay between theory and observation has been particularly close in asteroseismology, ranging from white dwarfs through roAp stars. This trend should continue as the field expands to include new classes such as solar-type stars. This synergistic relationship relies on communication between theorists and observers, but also on healthy skepticism in both directions. Here, I outline a (somewhat personal) view of the theoretical side - what kinds of observations are most helpful for optimizing utility of theoretical research efforts ? Where might theory be of closer guidance as observing programs are planned ?
