TOTO

(Columbia, 1982)

1982 was the year that Toto ruled the world. Crack session musicians and hit songwriters, they were heavily involved in what became the biggest-selling album of all time, Michael Jackson’s Thriller. Their own album Toto IV was huge too, selling millions via its smash hit singles Rosanna, I Won’t Hold You Back and Africa. A soft-rock behemoth – critics be damned! PE

Must hear: Africa
