We're Not in Kansas Anymore

So those of you that know me know that I can be very critical of many things, pikcing apart little flaws. This is espeically true of movies and music. I can find little problems with even the best of films and songs. There is however Africa by Toto. I've listened to this song over and over, and I can't think of a single thing to fault it on. It's got such great flow, such perfect instrumentaion, such solid vocals, such a sense of completeness. It doesn't drag too long, it doesn't cut too short. It leaves you satisfied, yet still wanting more. It may not be the best song ever written, but it's one of the very few that even I can't seem to find fault with. So I have to nominate Africa as the best things to come from the 80's, alongside Glowworms of course.
