    I don't think I've ever posted this here. Toto again, of course.

    "If I gave you everything that I owned
    And asked for nothing in return
    Would you do the same for me as I would for you?
    Or take me for a ride
    And strip me of everything including my pride
    But spirit is something that no one destroys"

    That's a good one, Aragorn. I like it. There's always more to Toto than I know.

    Who is better Toto or Foreigner: that toto song was pretty good (never really followed them) but anyway: Saw Foreigner some years ago ... they were still rockin' it pretty good.

    For most people, that's always going to be a matter of taste. But for myself as a musician, Toto is definitely a superior band due the virtuosity of each of its members ─ they all had side careers going on as session players for other artists ─ and the very wide range of musical styles they master. They started off as a progressive rock band, and in between the somewhat poppy but still masterfully composed and arranged chart successes, they slid from prog rock into the area of jazz-fusion.

    Toto is also one of those bands that sounds amazing in the studio but sounds even better live on stage. With most bands, it's the other way around. You can tell that these guys are having a great time because they love jamming, which they also love doing live. Several past and present Toto members also had a side project going on for many years, called Los Lobotomys, a live jam band with whom Steve Lukather recorded his second solo album, "Candyman".

    When Toto founder and drummer Jeff Porcaro died in 1992, he was replaced by Simon Phillips, not only in Toto but also in in Los Lobotomys, and he was as such the drummer (and co-author of a few songs) on Lukather's "Candyman" album. The song below ─ best listened to with good headphones or decent speakers because of the stereo effects ─ is from that album and was penned by both Lukather and Phillips. The title says it all.

    It might be because I've heard Foreigner too much, but toto did sound better ...

    I can see how their music would be 'big' live ... fo' sure.

    I'm remembering their music now ... i probably never realized that they were Toto. I was a big Journey fan... but yeah, some of their songs are very familiar. It's funny, I had/have a good friend that I haven't spoken with for a few years, that was a regular bibliophile regarding music. We would go out to bars and play trivia ... he was very good in general but his specialty was music ... mine was vocabulary. At one time I prided myself on my musical memory of Motown that is, songs that were big in the 60's soul music. But I was never very good beyond that (we had a lot of the 60's music at home so I was able to place the sound with the names. Not so, with most of the music of the 70's and 80's. I only knew Foreigner because a clerk at a music store suggested that it was good. I enjoyed Little River Band, my younger brother was a much bigger fan of buying albums. He probably had Toto (I think I remember).

    Another band that i can say, oh yeah, Toto, they're awesome. That reminds me that my brother will never forgive me, really, because I told him I wasn't a very big fan of the Eagles after he bought me one of their CD's for Christmas a few years ago (he worships them, I always liked Kansas as I use to listen to them before they went national in a hometown bar.. often because they would play in a battle of the bands and of course win)(the only reason I know some of their music is that another friend gave me one of their CD's because he was tired of it, On the Run, I think it was).

    Another friend offered me the Hotel California album and I turned it down (he had won it a 'run through the store' contest ... like he needed that kind of luck, his parents were millionaires)
