Talking songs, no. Talking entire albums, HELL YEAH!

 

Again I'd take Rihanna and Aaliyah over them both.

I missed Toto.

 

I didn't realise I did until I put this album on.

Same! In fact lately I've been wondering if Nightwish have become my favourite. Last year was basically the YEAR OF NIGHTWISH!

 

And now I am replaying Toto I can honestly say I feel the same as you.

 

Maybe if I put LC nostalgia aside I can with a level head say Nightwish and Toto mean far more to me that I ever realised.

 

I want to get the Rock Candy remasters of the first seven Toto albums. They come with interviews and bonus tracks and essays/photographs. Also they always nail the remastering of their albums. I have the Strangeways and Trillion Rock Candy reissues and they are stunning (I also have Native Sons on vinyl and can tell you it's a beast on my player (I sound like a snob)).

 

Forget tags. Toto is a phenomenal band in any genre.

Shoot me but I dislike Steve Perry's voice so much. He has a horrid tone. Not keen...give me top form Bobby Kimball or Lou Gramm anyday.

 

Or Fergie Fredriksen. Whose voice may not be my favourite but I enjoy way more than I ever could Perry.

 

I love Kimball on these early albums. I underrated him.

Nah I am not disagreeing they are similar I just think it's unfair to call him a clone when he had his own thing going on.

 

And I will say his work with Le Roux has lost its appeal. I replayed the album (title escapes me) and it was unpleasant. I also played some (not great quality) live Toto stuff with him up front and he was very inconsistent.

 

But Trillion's debut and Isolation are two of my very favourite albums Nd I love the two solo records he released before his untimely death.

 

But yeah...he no longer ranks at the top.

 

I think I'd rank the Toto singers:

 

1. Kimble

2. Joseph

3. Lukather

4. Paich

5. Fergie

Mick

 

I rank him number one based solely on his peak years in the studio, the first four albums.

 

Where I went wrong before was focusing too much attention on Mindfields, Falling In Between and the live DVD's.

 

But his voice is so special on the early records and, let's face it, he is far more distinctive than any of the other vocalists.

 

Williams is a phenomenal singer but truth be told, I think he blends into the background. As much as I love Fahrenheit my favourite song is Lukather's and what seals the deal for me is Miles Davis on Don't Stop Me Now.

 

And on XIV Paich has my favourite vocals.

[bluefox4000]

Funny...two very comparable singers and yet we seem to like one over the other.

My issue with Journey is the songs don't cut it. I truly mean that...some good stuff but rarely great in my opinion.

 

So when other bands took aspects of their sound I could really dig it if the songs were great. And Strangeways are everything I wanted Journey to be.

 

I own five Journey albums, and play to complete the collection as I do like them. But yeah...

Once I get to Fehrenheit and The Seventh One and then the Poland DVD and XIV I am sure the tables will turn!

 

Playing Hydra now. I used to really slate this album but much like Fly By Night or Signals it's worming it's way into my favourites rapidly!

 

White Sister on the Poland DVD...I had no idea what the song was but it blew me away! So I thought it was a cover but NOOOOO it was a splendid new take on this old Hydra track...so thank's to that I started playing this again!

If you don't like it it's fine.

 

But play Endless on its own. Ignore the rest of the album.

 

It's killer. And you said it blended in too much...SO ISOLATE IT!

 

Lol isolate the tracks on Isolation haha

Hydra could have done with a punchier production...or is it that the CD transfer is just a little flat?

 

Never realised how awesome Mama is.
