Alternative rockProgressive rock

Toto is a Alternative rock and Progressive rock act. Their sound grew out of Boz Scaggs, Raveena, Charlie, Bernard Purdie and Mr. Mister. Those roots explain a lot about how Toto arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Journey, Phil Collins, Rod Stewart, Dire Straits and Mike & The Mechanics, 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 65 connections around Toto, reaching back through Boz Scaggs and forward to Jack Ü.
