What do you think of "Africa" by Toto?

Yes. Their logo has always been the flying =w=… which is a take on Van Halen's =VH=.
Logos... they give you wings.
It's always hilarious how some people dismiss Toto as "session musicians" as if that makes them bad. No, it means they're so damn good that everyone wants Toto to play with them, oh, and inbetween sessions this best-of gathering of musicians sort of created a couple of million sellers on their own. It also helps that most/all of them compose and occasionally sing, it gives the band a huge range.
It's great that they eventually reunited and are now making brand new material. Most bands that are past their 40th anniversary tour are quite content to just drag out their top ten again and again.

It is like Shrek, legitimately good, but youths are wary of being seen liking cheesy things unironically.
Great song. It's going to take a lot to drag me away from it. There's nothing that a hundred songs or more could ever do.
I cannot believe that. This song?
It's a great song, but i would think that stuff like Take on Me would be more of a meme. (Or Rio, maybe)
It's the embodiment of nostalgia and I'm okay with that.
Oof am I not a fan of that one. Way too schmaltzy for me ("Till The End" and "Could This Be Love" are pretty good songs though).
Toto Album Ranking:
1). Hydra
2). Turn Back
3). Kingdom Of Desire
4). Toto
5). XIV
6). Toto IV
7). Everything else

Fahrenheit is probably the most 80's of their 80's albums and I'm perfectly OK with that. There are some really killer guitar riffs on this album too.

Fergie Frederikson, the vocalist for that album only, was also a lead vocalist for Survivor.
Yep. I've been a fan of the song for years, and I will be until I die.
see I think I agree with this one, it's a balanced list that ---
fucken fite me, lad, you're worse than the toto haters
It's 80's in the background music for business dad whose given up on their dreams sense (same goes with The Seventh One). Now Isolation, that's 80's as fuck for the right reasons.
Fuck me, I forgot about Isolation. List fix:
1). Hydra
2). Isolation
3). Turn Back
4). Kingdom Of Desire
5). Toto
6). XIV
7). Toto IV
8). Everything else
I'm more of a prog / hard rock guy. Turn Back scratches a certain itch.

Best Toto song.
One of the best pop songs ever.
What kind of monster doesn't like Africa?

That was my introduction too! What a soundtrack that game had.
Nah. They were basically a cover band here. If you're going to cover a song you need to do your own spin on it. Otherwise, just give me the original
"Meme-y?" What the fuck does idiots' interpretation of a song have to do with its quality? The OT reads like a dumb buzzfeed piece, and I'm not even a big fan of the song.
