re: Opinion on TOTO

They rival The Doors in their ability to write one song that is a ten and follow it up with another song that is a one. Really great musicians who would sometimes knock one out of the park and other times hit a slow roller that goes foul before it gets halfway to third base.

There is the old cliche of the whole being greater than the sum of its parts. A lot of times with Toto the sum of the parts was greater than the whole.

I could dig playing their music if I'm drifting around a lake in a boat on a summer Sunday afternoon. They wouldn't make my play list if I was lifting weights in a gym though.
