Originally Toyah's music was considered to be "Urban Tribesman" music.
Now that doesn't mean anything, but at the time it seemed to mean
music for the "tribe of the streets", the people at clubs and in the
underground scene in England in the early eighties.  In a way it was
very close to Adam and the Ants' "Ant Music" or "New Romantic" music
(not Gary Numan).  Basically it is pop or dance music.  Lately she has
been getting more experimental, and her album "Prostitute" is quite an
interesting album.  She explores the actual and expected roles of
women in the home and in the streets and draws parallels.  She was
very popular in the early eighties and the BBC broadcast a documentary
about her at that time.  Recently, she has worked with Robert Fripp,
her husband, and others in a band called "Sunday All Over The World".
Not as good as her solo album "Prostitute", in my opinion.

Following is Corey Nelson's discography of Toyah.
