Should Be Toto in PA?

I think that ToTo may be in progarchives, but much other bands too, such as Slowdive or Sonic Youth.

Let's just leave TOTO in Kansas

I can understand that some people suggested Bjork or Laurie Anderson, but Toto... Seriously...
I have the feeling that a lot of people are mistaking ProgArchives and AOR-Archives.

you're free to say what you want, but

then this poll's useless

i saw a page where they mentiond Toto together with here http://www.wayango.com/genres/rock-art-rockexperimental-neo-prog/ i that makes that Totos music certenly have influenced som Progressive rock geners, i also strongly beleave they also have had a foot in influencing traditional Progressive Metal like Queensryche and Dream Theater.
 
Neo Prog

The subgenre relies very much on clean, melodic and emotional electric guitar solos check
combined with modern, lush, floating and atmospheric keyboards. check
 The main musical influences on the neo-prog genre are Genesis, Yes, Camel, Toto and Pink Floyd. indeed

just pinpoint on some cases witch makes Toto influencal on Neo Prog

Toto. In Eclectic.

Over my dead, eyeless, green, mould-covered body.

Probably not eclectic just aired the thought
but as for their relation to Crossover prog they fit the Prog mould if you compare them to bands like Alan Parsons Project and ELO their 4 albums from 93 to falling in Between is clearly made other

 an Progressive aproach Kingdom of Desire have the eery, hounting sound over it, verry heavy at times, grate atmospheres, some instrument parts which shows off their techincal power as well as outstanding composisions and arrangements and the songs flow  so well the trancendece between the Intro, verse chorus is so well done. it is less synth driven but the layers of sound on this album gives you the chills, the most metal sounding toto album, hard rock, heavy prog, jazz fuison and long constructed art rock (Wings of Time, the title track, Only You and How many times)

Tambu is more organic sounding but all the songs on this album is made out of the new aproch for the bands ano 90s with more longer songs, not so melodic drivven more Organ and rhodes pianos, exploration of differents styles, Jazz/fusion, heavy metal, funk, even Hip hop, art rock and other styles the same grate arrangements. deeper lyrics,

Mindefields is labeld as Neo prog on  Wikipedia (but you dont need too relate to much on that you only need to listen to the album)
many of the songs here is verry rich on texture, layerd sound, could be compared to bands like Marillion and Arena, some also more Prog Metal like Better World, its a 14 track long album and the album vere most styles of rock is presented,

Falling in Between their last album starts with a bang with the splenid title track (which blends Dream Theater with more mideleastern, Daying on my Feet is  Jazz/fusion track, Bottom of your Soul is art rock and the rest of the album follows this with technical and melodic music with rich istrumentation, solos, exprementation and varied in styles

I thought Toto was already in prog archives.  Isn't this a Toto album?

Boston certainly has had much support for inclusion in Prog-Related due to the first LP.
