Toto, “Modern Eyes” from ‘Toto XX’ (1998): Toto Tuesdays
Recorded in a period when Toto were in between lead vocalists, “Modern Eyes” finds the band totally chilled out.

“Tale of a Man” may well be the greatest song on ‘Toto XX’ – and that’s amazing, since the album is full of classics.
Now in the home stretch of 1995’s ‘Tambu,’ Toto flexes their musical chops with another instrumental workout.
When I consider my Top 5 list of Toto songs, “Drag Him To The Roof” is usually included.
Toto’s “Home of the Brave” isn’t just a song. It’s the storming crescendo of 1988’s ‘The Seventh One.’
Toto’s “Only the Children,” written by David Paich and Joseph Williams, is another testament to a composing partnership that was prematurely cut short.
The gold-certified Toto album ‘Fahrenheit’ ends in a rather unusual yet spectacular way.
“Stranger in Town” was written by Toto’s David Paich and Jeff Porcaro, who also composed the smash hit “Africa.” But it couldn’t be more different.
“Africa,” the last song on ‘Toto IV,’ represents an end in many respects for the band.
“Waiting for Your Love” is another ‘Toto IV’ deep cut which could easily have been a successful single from the album. This is song craftsmanship at its finest.
