For me only for the Dune sountrack heheheh.   Which BTW is the only Toto album I have.  On a side note from the same year I also have my only Eurythmics album - the 1984 soundtrack which I also find progressive.

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

While I think that Toto has some Prog relation (both musically, say on Hydra, and in terms of involvement with Prog musicians), that doesn't mean that I think that it should be included in Prog Archives. I'm not familiar with the "live" work.

By the way, while I have heard Hydra and a smattering of Toto tracks, the only album I have owned which would fall under Toto's discography is the Dune soundtrack -- Brian Eno's "Prophecy Theme" would my favourite off it, although I am very partial to "Take My Hand" even if it is rather schmaltzy.

Anyway, 

Dave Matthews Band (Before These Crowded Street is perfect Crossover Prog)
and Shawn Phillips are more prog related than Toto. 

And they're not here in PA.

Most proggy album by Toto:

1) Hydra
2) I
3) Falling in Between.
4) Turn Back

The others? I would say no.

If we consider the beginning, yes, prog related.

Prog-related? Sure. But something doesn't have to be "prog" for me to like it.

Definitely prog releated.  Some of their earlier material was prog based and the Porcaros have worked with other prog bands.

Jeff Porcaro plays one song on the Wall, and they all have played with prog legend albums. They also have similar sophistication of Steely Dan, except they got a heavyer edge becouse of Lukes influence.

I would considered them for prog related at least. If bands like Iron Maiden, Santana, Metallica and others have made it, certainly they have a spot in the wide range of prog music.

Considering how many prog acts they have touched together and apart. And considering some of their longer songs, I would DEFINITELY say they are prog.  I saw them double billed with Yes (with john davison singing and billy sherwood playing bass in Yes) and I saw a lot of people leave the Yes show.  Being a lifelong Yes fan, I was completely disappointed, but the Toto show was INCREDIBLE.  Need proof?  Listen to the song Hydra, or the latest Toto XIV album.  You'll vote YES here after that!

Seeing Toto a few times live they seem pretty accomplished and proggy at times, so I was just wondering if we should base our opinions strictly on studio releases and consider each artist live as well.
