REO Speedwagon (REO pronounced as individual letters) was a light motor truck first produced in 1915, and manufactured up until the 1950s. The R.E.O. Speedwagon was the ancestor of the pickup truck, and the letters R.E.O. come from Ransom E. Olds who designed the truck, and was the founder of Oldsmobile.

REO Speedwagon was one of the first rock bands to score big with power ballads in the '80s. They had the good fortune of being one of the hottest bands in America when MTV launched on August 1, 1981, so the network played their videos, even though they were low-budget affairs. With director Bruce Gowers, they shot four videos in one day, including the clip for one of their greatest songs "Keep On Loving You," which lead singer Kevin Cronin said "made us look like even bigger dorks than we were." 😅

I love that song. However, there are plenty of other awesome 80s rock ballads. One that I'd prefer over "Sister Christian" would be "Still Loving You" by Scorpions. Another one that comes to mind is "Alone Again" by Dokken. "Alone" by Heart is beautiful, too. Then there's probably my favorite of all..."The Search is Over" by Survivor (1984). All really awesome songs.

REO Speedwagon are from Champaign, Illinois. I saw REO live in concert March 22, 2024. These guys rocked the house. REO is one of those bands who sound better live than on the record. If REO comes to your area, please make plans to go. You'll have a great time. When most groups disbanded, or stopped touring altogether, REO Speedwagon never stopped touring. They have been going hard at it for 50 years or more, year after year. Kevin Cronin is the lead singer, and he will be 73 years old in October. He still sounds good and his guitar playing is still on point. They are currently on tour with Train, when I saw them they were touring with Rick Springfield who also rocked the house as well. One of the best concerts I've been to. Their lead guitar player the late great Gary Richrath is by far the best guitar player out of all the rest, who has never gotten the credit or recognition which he deserves. Kevin Cronin, when he sings, his proper enunciation of his words when he sings is fantastic (mind blowing to most), (listen to Roll With The Changes and you'll hear what I'm talking about). Which makes him such a great singer. Do check out Roll With The Changes (a great driving down the road song), Keep On Loving You (a number 1 song on the charts, also Can't Fight This Feeling reached number 1 on the charts as well), Take It On The Run, Time For Me To Fly, One Lonely Night, Don't Let Him Go, That Ain't Love, Keep Pushin', Ridin' The Storm Out (written by Gary Richrath after they were snowed in during a snow storm in Colorado after a show), Golden Country, Live Every Moment, Variety Tonight, In Your Letter, Here With Me, Back On The Road Again (Bassist Bruce Hall wrote this song and does the lead vocals on this song). The list of REO Speedwagon songs is deep. Ride the storm out with REO, more songs for you to add to your playlist (GAURANTEED).

Really love this band! REO Speedwagon ( the REO is said as individual letters not one word) was formed in Champaign, IL in 1967. The have a lot of great songs through the 70's and 80's. "Ridin' the Storm Out", "Keep Pushin'", "Roll With the Changes", "Time for Me to Fly", "Take It on the Run", "In My Dreams", "Don't Let Him Go", "That Ain't Love", and "Here with Me" are a few. I don't usually remember the names of albums, but their 7th album released in 1978 is one I always remember for it's wacky title: You Can Tune a Piano, But You Can't Tuna Fish. The cover art is a large fish with a tuning fork stuck in it's open mouth. Apparently the band wanted a title that would match the "out of the box" and stylistically diverse songs on the album.

I knew Gary Richrath from 1965 in Peoria, IL when he was a member of the Suburban 9 to 5. When I was a student at Eastern Illinois University in 1970 - 1974 I would drive up to Champaign to see REO Speedwagon at Chances R, a college bar. When the band released their first album, with Terry Luttrell on lead vocals, Circus Magazine gave it a full 5 star rating, stating " Play it 'tiĺ the grooves wear out". When REO Two came out, with Kevin Cronin on vocals, every song was great. I still don't know why the album wasn't a smash hit. Kevin left and the third album, Lost in a Dream, had Michael Murphy on lead vocals. "Ridin' the Storm Out" was released, but wasn't a hit. Michael left and Kevin returned. Only with the release of their live double album, You Get What You Play For, after endless touring, did the band achieve real success. I grew to resent Kevin Cronin because he took the hard rock edge off of REO and pushed the band into the ballad era. I now recognize that the radio format dictated the need, as the ladies love of ballads drove sales and hits. Ultimately, Kevin's direction was correct, but Gary slipped in as many hard edges as he could. If you want to hear the best of Gary and REO, listen to REO TWO, and the live album. Especially the song "Golden Country".

Their sound was classic rock n roll. They played incredibly live and sounded great without all of the technology. R.E.O Speedwagon had a lot of hits - "Take it on the Run", "Keep on Loving You", "Roll with the Changes", "Back on the Road Again" and more. Keep going down this rabbit hole.

I loved Kevin's hair back in the day. I wish it still looked like that but we all get older and it all changes. I truly love REO!!!!! ❤

R.E.O has so many great hits. Journey and R.E.O. were my favorite bands for some time. I wore out several Albums of theirs. Kevin Cronin has a lovely voice.

I grew up with this music, but I mostly listened on the radio, so on a lot of reactions, including this one, this is the first time I've seen the video.

R.E.O. Speedwagon. They are the band that you can sing the loudest to, good or bad, sing along with that song!! I'm singing loud and proud with my pretend microphone 🎤 😂 I had to close my eyes so I wouldn't see that crazy video. I love your reaction!! The hair 😂😂😂

Saw Kevin Cronin (R.E.O) with Chicago at the Puyallup Fair in WA State. Was a very good time! Kevin had just broke his leg but there isn't a cast in the world that can hold him back! To close things out, he joined Chicago on stage to play each other's music. Loved every moment

REO is an amazing band of the 80's along with all the other power ballads that that decade was known for. Yes, BIG hair was the style in the 80's. I heard this song was actually about the lead singer's crush on a friend or co-band member's wife. Please listen to Peter Gabriel's "In Your Eyes", Peter Cetera "Next Time I Fall" he sang with Amy Grant, "Glory of Love", and "Forever Tonight" with Crystal Bernard. Phil Collins: "Against All Odds", "Another Day in Paradise" and "Come With Me" (written to his son), and "One More Night".

When you want to react again to a song with both beautiful music and lyrics play Leeann Womack's " I HOPE YOU DANCE" ...country singer but the message or words can relate to everyone no matter what genre of music you like...truly a beautiful song!

"Jesse's Girl" was around the same time period but different artist - Rick Springfield. You are definitely getting better at putting sounds in a generalized time line. So glad you chose to expand your musical experience. 👏

Check out REO’s live version of “Like You Do”. Then go down their rabbit hole for “Time For Me to Fly”, “Blazin’ Your Own Trail Again”, “Take It on the Run”, “Keep On Loving You”, “Lucky For You”, “Tough Guys” and more

Yes, yes, yes!! My favorite all-time from REO is Like You Do, even though it never made the charts. Saw them in concert many many times, having grown up in IL. Went to church with the keyboard player’s family.

Saw these guys live, finally, a while back. Huge sound live and one of those bands you know all of the songs' words without really thinking about it. Lot of my music comes from a couple of my aunts that weren't shockingly older than me and friends whose older sisters who had sizable music collections. REO has a ton of really great songs.

REO Speedwagon was my very first concert and were a different band from when this song was released. Oh and the band Angel opened for them back in 1978. Anyway you should react to the Angel song called "The Fortune". Quite the journey of a song.
