I would go in order of their release, it tells the best story:

Toto 1978
Hydra 1979
Turn Back 1980
Toto IV 1982
Isolation 1984

Only explore the later stuff if you like these. Bobby Kimball was vocalist on the first four with Fergie Fredrickson coming in as vocalist just for Isolation. Isolation sounds like its by a different band at times, but is just so good, its actually a contender for one of my all time favourite personal albums. Also besides the lead vocalists Steve Lukather and David Paich were also great vocalists that sung on a number of tracks, also Steve Pocaro sings on a couple of songs on the albums I've listed above.
