Entre_Perpetuo Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 I don't know why, but I get this strong medieval / proggy vibe from so much of Toto's music that just makes everything seem totally epic and grand. It could be just another love song, but the way they play it it may as well be Xanadu or Supper's Ready or something. But they keep everything smooth and concise and totally AOR, but with that epic, life or death vibe looming ever in the background. Hold The Line is such a good example, it must've been the prototype for later songs where that dramatism is a little more subtle. So yeah still digging Toto IV. Why did no one tell me just to grab this record in the first place? Lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Entre_Perpetuo Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 Steve Lukather This man has made every song twice as good with his soloing alone. And his tone... almost as perfect as Alex or Brian May... It's just smooth and clean enough to blend well and to be detailed with, but has a quick fuse for going absolutely nuts and face melting with distortion and feedback when nessecary. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Segue Myles Posted June 4, 2018 Author Share Posted June 4, 2018 Toto and Rush are probably the two bands I am guilty of forgetting I love as much as I do.

Ty for the rec. Oh, and I gotta get back to my Chicago records next week too. Of course the only ones left in my collection that I haven't listened through are from the 80s, but I aught to at least give them a shot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mick I enjoy the easy listening vibe and they are...harmless. John really likes them too, that's been fun (HE actually bought Meliora, not me!). They also slot nicely into playlists with other bands I like. I don't mind the lyrics and I do love the atmosphere they create. It's like a Kiss version of Paradise Lost sometimes lol.

Segue Myles Posted June 4, 2018 Author Share Posted June 4, 2018 Listening to Fahrenheit again. It is my favourite pop album of the eighties alongside Mirage and A-ha's eighties works. It's probably my favourite but Mirage means a lot to me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
