Toto

Alternative rock
Alternative rockProgressive rock

Toto is a Alternative rock and Progressive rock act. Their sound grew out of Raveena, Charlie, Bernard Purdie, Mr. Mister and Led Zeppelin. Those roots explain a lot about how Toto arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Journey, Christopher Cross, Phil Collins, Rod Stewart and Dire Straits, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Jack Ü, Dirty Loops, John Parr, Roupa Nova and UFO, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 71 connections around Toto, reaching back through Raveena and forward to Jack Ü.
