"Isolation" was a great rocker.

It's cheesy album power ballad rock but you have to give them credit. Apart from the annoying Rosanna, Toto were actually qualified musicians - the timing, arrangements and even the soloing is quite impressive. Even the production value is quality without going over the top. Sort of a lost art these days

I heard Rosanna at this mall close to where I live.
Which is appropriate since there's an elevator in the center of it. :)
Lukather's a monster. They all can play well.

I read (somewhere) years ago that Lukather was the musical "driving force" behind Jackson's 'Thriller' writing the riff to 'Beat It' and the dream-like guitar sound of 'Human Nature.' Seems he and Eddie are neighbors as well. And is it true Eddie never took a dime in royalties for his solo in 'Beat It'? Just how drunk was he in those days?

I always liked the song 99 previous to their Roseanna fame. They kind of sucked after Toto IV. That Georgy Porgy song was horrific.
