Toto XIV

[Droomer5150]

I've never really listened to Toto. If you had to recommend one album as 'essential', which would it be?

I'd say give Live in Poland a watch then if you dig it go back and check out the albums, there is ALOT of variety. Live in Poland is the "essential" album for me even though it's live haha. Incredible performance, some of the best musicians in music history all in one band on the same stage. It's great!

Binnie, check out the new album when it's out. That should give you a good idea of the band's music.

The invisible one that you can't hear...

The tour is going to begin very soon. I can't wait to hear live renditions of China Town (lots of Steely Dan in that one, perfect) and Great Expectations.

Lukather announced there were gonna be lots of surprises setlist-wise.
Well, unlike Rush, they won't pull out alternate sets, but that's fine with me.
Bring on some obscure shit like Takin' It Back or Mr Friendly. Hell, even Let It Go, I'm all for it!

Toto is one of those bands, like Steely Dan, that I really only listen to when I'm relaxing by the pool having some beers on a Saturday evening. I own a couple of the bigger albums but really only bother putting on the greatest hits albums.

Toto is one of those corporate bands, like the other shit I listen to without embarrassment such as Steely Dan, that I really only listen to when I'm in my inflatable life vest by the kiddie pool having some Sunny D on a day when I should be looking for a job.


I like Toto

[Mr. Vengeance]

Holy fuck was that lame.....

So no to your Valium refill?

For us real TOTO fans, it will be interesting to check out the concert reviews and "surprises"
on the setlist beginning this Friday May 22. Can't wait to see them LIVE after the European Tour!!

Toto has fans?

Toto has fans?

Indeedido, why there's Dorothy, the Tin Man, the Cowardly Lion, and Scarecrow ("I think I'll miss you the most")
Miss Gulch/Wicked Witch of the West and The Wizard declined comment.

On a realistic note, they have over 1 million of them who like to hear 3 incredible vocalists and band play melodic rock
without blower rants, singing off key or wearing denim. . .
