Toto disbands

Well, one of my favorite groups just recently disbanded. I'm bummed! I've always wanted to see them in concert and the chance of that now is out of the question. There's always hope - Asia, another one of my favs, recently regrouped to produce Phoenix. It seems that Toto always got the brunt of bad criticism by music reviewers and I've never understood why. All of the members could play circles around most of the artists out there on pop radio. I own all of their albums, so I have the advantage of a wider perspective than those who only know their radio hits. Their music was a combination of jazz/pop/rock elements - perhaps that's why the critics didn't like them.
