The recent "Live from Poland" is really great at a first listening, so I can understand your feeling.

I agree.

Me too. I never really listened to them seriously but i've heard 'Rosanna'. Guessing Toto IV was their biggest hit? Shouldn't they be considered more an '80's band' then 70's with the height of their success?

Not really. Honestly the debut album had a massive hit, Hold the Line, which put them on the music radar for the late 70's.

I have never considered Toto a hard rocking band. I would consider Turn Back their "hardest" album. One thing I will say for Toto, they are not boring or monotonous.

Ok, i'll start listening to the first one. I really like 'Hold the Line'. Don't think of them heavy either.
According to YT, their debut album went 2X Platinum in US/Canada.

You could probably state the case for either decade. They did emerge from the gate smoking in the 70s though, as Hydra, s/t, and IV will abundantly testify.

Toto is a rock and roll music band who has songs such as
Afraid Of Love
Lovers In The Night
Takin' It Back
etc.

The Porcaro bros really livened up an agonizing period in rock.
