Africa is a great song! Toto also wrote a fantastic score for the film Dune.

Toto IV was a fantastic album when it came out. IMO, up there with Moving Pictures, Paradise Theater, Foreigner 4, Hi Infidelity. Lots of great full LPs around that time.

I can look at the Billboard top 100 today and hardly recognize a single band/song. Sometimes I wonder am I THAT out of touch or is the world just changing at dizzying speeds?

Paradise Theatre is one of the best from Styx. No doubt.

I just finished listening to Pieces of Eight, just awesome! Cornerstone is kinda sappy for the early albums, but I love it anyway.

I forgot to mention Escape, another mega album from the time.

And with that my video contribution to this thread...



EDIT: Of course the above video is pre-Escape/pre-Jonathan Cain.
