Our Top 10 Toadies songs ranked list takes a listen to 10 songs from an alternative rock band first formed in Texas in the late 1980s. The group’s sound would play out well with the arrival of the grunge scene shortly after the band formed. The band released five albums throughout their career. They had formed a loyal following but were never known as one of the huge bands of the 1990s. Still they had some great success on the alternative rock charts that got them hooked up as an opening band on some major tours including stints with Red Hot Chili Peppers, White Zombie and Bush. The band’s original members included Vaden Todd Lewis on vocals and guitar, Lisa Umbarger on bass, Darrel Herbert on guitar, and Mark Reznicek on drums. The groups has gone through various personal changes over the years. Our Toadies songs list will present ten of our favorite Toadies songs.
