this song South side, (is not a very progy one) but the drumming is insane



this song is not very far from being close to what Asia is sounding (though recorded in 1977)

Toto? Why not? Every classic rock band is called prog nowadays.

Ok people, if you really want anything to happen I would suggest the following:

(1) Find out whether Toto already has been formally evaluated by the admin team for Prog Related. If yes, forget about it. If no, move on to step 2.

(2) Take a look at the official guidelines for Prog Related and make a list of facts about Toto that support their relevance for PA in accordance with those guidelines.

(3) Find a Special Collaborator who is willing to take this list to the admins for formal evaluation 

Good luck! (again, I remain neutral on Toto as I don't know them well enough. Yet)

If it is unfair to evaluate them alongside the likes of Styx or Asia who have been solidified as being completely 'prog' at one time or another, then is it fair to compare them with bands such as Journey or some of Dio's work (both of which are already in the Prog-Related section)?

If that is indeed permissible, then I would say that Toto retained more progressive elements and let them shine through more often than Journey, and the bulk of what Dio did was heavy metal, yet both present themselves on this site while Toto is not represented.

I never did think of Toto as a progressive band, but many, many other sources site them as such (last.fm, Pandora, various magazines/websites, etc.), and after exploring their work a bit, I find quite a few full-on prog tunes, and a bulk of their work has progressive undertones and/or influences.

I might even find them worthy enough based on the sheer amount of outside agreement on the matter.

I don't see Dio here.

And I've never heard a proggy Toto song.

Then lets add Eagles, Dire Straits, Mr Mister, Men at Work and every 70's band that is not here

Said no in all the other friends, I believe they done nothing to deserve a new chance.

So NO WAY, THEY ARE NOT REMOTELY PROG

Toto was rejected on 19 October 2007 at 08:03.

It's in the master list on the CS
