With a catalog of 16 studio and live albums generating sales of more than 35-million, Toto rank as one of the most successful rock bands of their generation. They've done it by performing primarily music of their won composition, incorporating a variety of musical influences (hard rock, progressive rock, soul, jazz, funk) and by staying (literally and figuratively) in front of their audience with an aggressive tour schedule.
Their discography - 12 studio releases, a movie soundtrack and four live albums -- spans four decades, from their debut studio release in 1978 to their most recent live album, released in 2007. Toto's albums have produced 46 singles, 31 music videos, and eight compilations. They also have a major movie credit, composing and performing the soundtrack to the 1984 film, Dune.
