Never cared for Foreigner or Journey very much.
 
Boston's 'More Than  A Feeling' will always be one of my favourite AOR tracks. There is other stuff I like by them as well although not as much. Bit of a one trick pony.
 
Toto are by far the most interesting band of the 4 for me. Some very great tracks (not just one!) ,with a bit more variety. Seem them play live as well. Gets my vote.

I prefer Styx to all of them.

Four of my favorite bands.  My votes goes to Journey, but could just as easily be Boston.

I can actually say that the only one of this group that I haven't seen live is Foreigner. Thankfully I saw Journey open up for ELP before Steve Perry joined the band. I wish that they could have melded writing some poppy songs but have kept what they had on the first albums before he joined (much like Supertramp).

Boston.

Very tough for me.....but I picked Journey. I like what Greg Rolie and Neal Schon put together with Journey after leaving Santana. What can you say about Boston, two amazing albums...some of the best. I lost interest in Foreigner after Head Games. And Toto featured some of the best studio musicians of the 80's.
 
All of them get plenty of listens with me.

Foreigner gets credit for having Ian McDonald, Journey for starting out proggy, Toto for the Dune soundtrack, and Boston for the cool album covers.

I actually cast a voto for Toto.  The Dune soundtrack is totally awesome. Big smile

I can't give them any credit for the rains down in Africa. Tongue

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.

What's wrong with this song ?

I voted for Toto...of course. None of the other bands have so many good and diverse albums as Toto.
