laughedatbytime Posted December 30, 2019 Author Share Posted December 30, 2019 Toto, by a mile. You serious, Clark?Completely. Maybe Toto has some decent deeper cuts. But their hits are so unrelentingly dull, I can't imagine it's worth the time to find out. And their lyrics read like they're written by a clean Sammy Hagar. You supply the night, baby, I'll supply the love? Pure dreck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You supply the night, baby, I'll supply the love? Pure dreck. No argument from me on that front, but that plenty of bands have made careers out of words just as weak...my vote is based mostly on the standout quality of the musicianship, though. Steve Lukather and Jeff Porcaro in particular; just incredible on their respective instruments. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But from what I've heard it's in the service of very uninspired compositions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Lukather and Jeff Porcaro in particular; just incredible on their respective instruments. By the same token, there are many artists who have incredible musical talent that doesn't translate into great songs because there's some "soul" missing. I feel the same way about Steve Vai or Yngwie Malmsteen. Are they great guitarists? Unquestionably. Do I find their music as stirring as Joe Perry's work? Not even close. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The players are virtuosos, but the music sounds like it was created in a lab. I know people here love them, and I say more power to those that do. But give me 70s Aerosmith or early 80s Crue, guys who, for the most part, aren't close to being as technically proficient on their instruments (Tom Hamilton is pretty damn good though) every day.

Dull hits are just human nature to some people. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
