TOTO-real music for real musiscians Plus Steve Lukather is hands down the greatest guitarist ever and that is a fact not an opinion. I love Toto's music because of all the styles they do and the musicality of all the songs. They transcend all other bands in my opinion. Their music is just right for me which I love. I'd recommend any serious guitar players to check Luke out. There is something for ever player in his playing.

Steve Lukather solo
Plus all of the 1000's of sessions he did. The running with the night solo (Lionel Richie) is awesome.


Ratt
Van Halen
