[The Wiz]

Ok Lets clear the air....This thread is not about Dorothy's dog...But instead the World's Greatest Band of All Time...Toto...I have seen this band 7 times in thier 30 year history(which ended in 2008),and have decided to make them the "Official" band of The Emerald City. Some of you may not have heard of them,but might remember some of thier hits from the late 70's and early 80's....such as "Hold the Line".."Rosanna" and "Africa". Toto was Started in 1977 with the originals members..David Paich(Vocals and keyboards),Steve Lukather(Voclas and guitar),David Hungate(bass),Jeff Porcaro(drums),Steve Porcaro(keyboards and synthasizers),and Bobby Kimball(Lead vocals).Thier first album the self-named Toto album was released in 1978. Toto would go on to produce 11 more studio albums(cd's now),and 4 Live albums. Thier membership changed over the years as well as thier sound...but with thier last cd "Falling in Between" went back to thier original roots and more clasic style!...I will miss not having any "New releases" from them...but can always go back to where it all began over 30 years ago for me!....Please listen to some of thier stuff when you get a chance...it is a worthwhile listen I assure you!The Wiz!

Oh my are we showing our age??????? Yep they are good, a must listen to. I will try to keep an eye on this thread to see if their is any interest. I have 16CD's of their's, (Some might be repeats, they are just the number of folders I see for Toto right now on the server) it would be possible to U/L to RS. Need to read forum rules, or Wiz can you tell me, can I post links to RS in a blog? If not members could PM me for links or meet me on irc this weekend maybe for DCC or Fserve. Listening to Africa now, hehe.........

[Malicedoll]

[The Wiz]

did you know that the song Rosanna was written for Rosanna Arquette?

Yes I did Malice....Unfortunatly I thought Rosanna was just a so-so song...it was one of thier biggest commercial hits though! "Africa" was on the same album...which is one of my all-time favs!The Wiz!
