I actually cast a voto for Toto. The Dune soundtrack is totally awesome.
It sure is! I can't imagine the expression on some people's faces who have yet to hear it. I remember being blown away by it's force and the realization that I was listening to the group who once recorded "Rosanna". Sections of the music remind me of Camel and the points of comparison measure out in dimensional distance. There is also a piece by Brian Eno. I wonder how many P.A. members have actually heard this recording?
MIles Davis plays trumpet on one Toto record Fahrenheit, and Ian Anderson have a flute solo on their last album Falling in Between, and Jon Anderson sang background vocals on the Toto tune Can't Stop Loving You. so they have prog and jazz legends featuring on their studio albums.
WOW! I never followed their career close enough to notice. Thanks for this information! I find it interesting.

Miles said while "jamming" with them that he did not know white guyss could play funk before he met Toto, which made him deside to lend his Horn for their huge pleassure and for his honour,
they only let him do whatever he could on that song so it is improvised while, Toto do what they do best, became the backbone of the track while MIles (and David Sandborn on Sax) soloed over

^ ok, I see. Seems I didn't get the joke in the first instance.
Crack enough jokes and some of them bomb. Not that I actually like the song or anything, but I don't have anything against it as I haven't heard it played over and over and over enough yet.
Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

Preferably non of the above.....I mean I guess Foreigner.....but really I don't want any of that. Ian Mcdonald and a lack of constant power ballads was my reasoning for Foreigner I can't even take Journey the slightest bit seriously. To be fare though all of these groups are just not my kinda thing..too poppy and not enough instrumentation/lack of words.
And Boston are just criminals. The Riff for Smokin' is so stolen from Freddie King's Guitar Boogie (called Boogie Funk in the dominant live youttube vids)!
I actually agree on the Styx comment. Still too poppy, but very good musicians. Any prog fan should be able to respect Dennis Deyoung's Hammond and Synth work, he's fantastic. An example that comes to mind is youtube video's of certain versions of Blue Collar Man in which Dennis tears **** up on the b3 before launching into that badass organ riff (which probably introduced me to the b3)
