Discography

Their distinctive sound has become the standard for the '80s, and has influenced many contemporary artists.

The album starts out hard with songs like Running Out of Time or Unknown Soldier that show the band's ability to write great AOR tunes that slowly get into your head. The album also contains more jazzy, slower tracks such as The Little Things and Chinatown. The album closes with Great Expectations, a song that mixes folk with distortion AOR and sounds like a complete flop, but works wonderfully well.

After Toto IV, the band's fortunes started to plummet. David Hungate left to concentrate on his solo career, and the band went through several drummers.

Line-up

Turn Back, the band's third studio album is an ode to the classic sextet format, and it was a more consistent, more powerful effort with a harder edge. The edgier sound of Turn Back was a reflection of the growth of the band. Drummer Bobby Kimball's increased proficiency was evident in the vocals of Joseph Williams, who had become more confident and mature. Keyboardist David Paich's work also was more precise, sharper, and less derivative than previously recorded performances.

After touring to promote their album, the band recorded the band's Amsterdam live performance that was released on Eagle Records as a 2-CD set entitled Falling In Between. A new studio album was released shortly after, and the group went on a long-distance tour in support of the album. During this period, keyboardist Greg Phillinganes replaced Paich and bassist David Hungate quit the group to spend time with his family.

In 1998, Paich and 토토먹튀검증 사이트 메이저사이트 추천 (timeoftheworld.date) Lukather started exploring old demos and tapes in search of a new record featuring songs that were never recorded before. It was completed in 2001 as a double album called Then and Now. It was the first album in the history of the band not to feature one single track with the word "A" in its title and it included one previously unreleased track, "Kari-Anne".

By 2003, Toto had begun to decline in popularity. The group's fourth record, Old Is New was a commercial failure and vocalist Williams was suffering from laryngitis that limited his singing ability. In addition, Hungate returned to Nashville as a drummer, and Leland Sklar was replaced by Shem von Schroeck.

Downes and the other members of Asia--Wetton, Palmer, and Howe--convened an event in England in early 2006 to discuss the possibility of officially restructuring the band. The group, which was missing Howe who was working with Yes during that time, was renamed Toto XIV. They toured extensively.

In 2010, the band reunited for another reunion tour with a slightly different line-up, including guitarists Mike Porcaro and Steve Lukather, drummer John Pierce, bassist Shannon Forrest, and multi-instrumentalists Warren Ham and Dominique Taplin. The band also had a special appearance by singer Michael McDonald and a backing vocalist named Mabvuto Carver.
