One of their biggest influences.

Toto came out with their first self-titled album in 1978. Their first 4 albums were with singer Bobby Kimball and bassist David Hungate. After the fourth album, Toto IV, these two original bandmates left Toto.

During these early years (1978–1984), Toto sounded more like the Beatles in some of their songs. They had a British feel to their music, especially, with their first two albums, Toto and Hydra.

Here are the four songs I think sound the most like the Beatles from these first 4 albums:

1. “Rockmaker” (Toto) singer/songwriter David Paich

2. “Manuela Run” (Toto) singer/songwriter David Paich
