Toto enjoyed the big career blast-off in 1979 with a Top-10 self-titled debut album and a Top-5 lead single ("Hold the Line"). Then there was the massive Toto IV in 1982, which churned out big hits and made the band the subject of Grammy love. The music on the two albums in between those twin successes has largely been forgotten by all but the band's most diehard fans. One exception: the 1980 single "99," which found Toto couching a science-fiction conceit amidst their typically smooth jazz-rock textures.
