If two albums can be said to define a genere, these two albums defenitly can, they defie West Coast rock, they defies the sound which Toto should perfectionise with their, Toto and Toto V, the slick, polished, perfect production and perfect played jazz, sould, and blues filled west coast rock, to me Aja and Silk Degrees are perfect albums, but which is best   ------------- "I created these characters, and I am an Old Testament God with my fist in the middle of their lives." by Robert Jordan Auther of the Wheel of Time fantasy wonderstory |

| I went to Aja, too. By the way, is what Larry Carlton steals introduction of Peg and applied in introduction of Room 335 true? Or is it a rumor? |

I went of The DAN of course
"Silk Degrees" though is a fantastic album
When it came out everybody had it, me included. Never got sick of it and it is one of those albums that everybody likes.
Good Poll. Not that easy to choose. ------------- Matt |

i sometimes call it the first Toto album  , half the songs is cowriten by David Paich, and half the badn is Jeff, David and David, (and Steve Porcaro on synth on one song), and live they brought in Lukather, so it was actualy Toto if replace Bobby with Boz as lead singe,

I don't think I've heard the Boz in it's entirety but I'm sure I've heard parts.

Nothing to do with Toto but Danny Kortchmar is with Boz, and David as well. They are the three main suspects on the album
Wondered why I liked that Boz album so much and after a bit of quick research, now I know why. ------------- Matt |

"Human Nature" was written and composed by http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Porcaro" rel="nofollow - Steve Porcaro of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toto_%28band%29" rel="nofollow - Toto and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Bettis" rel="nofollow - John Bettis for Michael Jackson's http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thriller_%28album%29" rel="nofollow - Thriller album. Initially, Porcaro recorded a rough demo of the song on a cassette. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_Nature_%28Michael_Jackson_song%29#cite_note-halstead_144-0" rel="nofollow - [1] Fellow Toto band member http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Paich" rel="nofollow - David Paich then gave the demo, along with two songs written by Paich, to producer http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quincy_Jones" rel="nofollow - Quincy Jones , hoping they would be included on Thriller. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_Nature_%28Michael_Jackson_song%29#cite_note-halstead_144-0" rel="nofollow - [1] Jones didn't like Paich's songs, but enjoyed the rough demo of "Human Nature" at the end of the cassette. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_Nature_%28Michael_Jackson_song%29#cite_note-halstead_144-0" rel="nofollow - [1] Jones explained, "All of a sudden, at the end, there was all this silence, there was: 'why, why, dah dah da-dum dah dah, why, why'. Just a dummy lyric and a very skeletal thing—I get goosebumps talking about it. I said, 'This is where we wanna go, because it's got such a wonderful flavor'". ------------- "I created these characters, and I am an Old Testament God with my fist in the middle of their lives." by Robert Jordan Auther of the Wheel of Time fantasy wonderstory |

It is like the who's who of music the list of who they have all played with.
Saw Lukather did the guitar on "Beat It" as well.
You never heard that much from Quincy after Michael Jackson's death. Everybody else seemed to be having their say though.
I am not an MJ fan but some stuff I don't mind and out of the three big ones it is "Bad" I like the best. "Dirty Diana, The Way You Make Me Feel and Smooth Criminal" are the ones that get a repeat.
The radio played "Thriller" to it's death. I remember, not being that big a fan
 The title is the one that grates the most but "Billie Jean", I did like which they seemed to play the least ------------- Matt |

I do like Aja but SIlk Degrees has something. The RnB aspect? Dunno but I give it the edge ------------- We are men of action. Lies do not become us. http://www.jazzmusicarchives.com/dreadpirateroberts%28member%29.aspx?reviews=all/" rel="nofollow - Reviews... |

I like Boz okay but Aja is a masterpiece so this was a no-brainer.
