Other than Africa, Rosanna and Hold the Line, Toto had many cool gems you know. The radio stations always play these songs and great as they are, they are way overplayed. Toto had some amazing other tunes. Here's 3 of 'em which I personally love!

A great fun tune.


Featuring amazing vocals from Joseph Williams.

This one especially is my fave with flawless vocals from Fergie Frederiksen and a chorus of pure magic.

thanks for sharing. Always loved the song Hold The Line but never really checked out their other stuff.

I've always been a big fan of 70's stuff like Jay Ferguson - Thunder Island, Gerry Rafferty-Baker Street, Todd Rundgren - Can We Still be Friends, Stories - Brother Louie, Ozark Mountain Daredevils - Jackie Blue, Andrew Gold - Lonely Boy....guess I'm showing my age Lol
 
TOTO are amazing. i made my own 52 track greatest hits collection. they have always had great singles, but it's their "album tracks" where they have always excelled.

Some of my favorites from their classic Hydra album. If you only know them for their singles these will shock you for their "progressive" tendencies.

Hadn't heard those Hydra tunes in a long time. Good songs indeed. Only thing is I always liked the more AOR Toto rather than the prog Toto, hence I never delved into the proggy albums that much and I liked Isolation with Frederiksen and the Joseph Williams albums. Mind you their last album Falling in Between had many prog moments and that was way underrated. I even bought that album I liked it so much. Of course I liked the melodic moments more but even the prog bits were cool too.

How heavy and prog is this:

They're my favorite band, hands down. So many grooves with Toto.
