	REO Speedwagon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		REO Speedwagon is a rock band which grew in popularity in the Midwestern United States during the 1970s.

		REO Speedwagon was formed in the fall of 1967 by Doughty and dormmate drummer, Alan Gratzer to play cover tunes in campus bars.

	Reo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Reo was founded by Ransom E. Olds in August 1904 (the name of the founder also lived on in the Oldsmobile).
		Reo manufactured automobiles from 1905 to 1936, including the famous Reo Speed-Wagon, an ancestor of the pickup truck, which gave its name to the 1970s rock and roll group REO Speedwagon.
		By 1907 Reo had gross sales of four million dollars and the company was one of the top four automobile manufacturers in the U.S. After 1908 however, despite the introduction of improved cars designed by Olds, Reo's share of the automobile market shrank due in part to competition from giants like Ford and General Motors.

		Although REO was slowly inching their way to big-time success, no one (not even the band) could have predicted the massive hit that their next album turned out to be, Hi Infidelity.
		REO Speedwagon continued to score further hit albums (1982's Good Trouble, '84s Wheels Are Turnin') and singles ("Keep the Fire Burnin'," the number one hit power ballad "Can't Fight This Feeling," etc.), but the hits dried up shortly thereafter.
		REO opted to soldier on, however, with replacement members Dave Amato (ex-Ted Nugent, guitar) and Bryan Hitt (ex-Wang Chung, drums) in tow, as their 1988, 14-track compilation, The Hits, proved to be a steady seller over the years.

	REO Speedwagon - at 70's Music
		One of the albums released with Michael at lead vocals was Ridin' the Storm Out the title song of which was written by Gary and later became their 'anthem', usually played near the end of their concerts or in an encore.
		REO's strength has always been their live performances, but it is interesting to listen to the studio 'COW' album and there are a couple of great cuts that weren't on their live album.
		REO has once again become a hot concert ticket, as they have been touring with Styx for a couple of years at the time of this writing.

		Since the release of REO Speedwagon's first record in 1971, the band that started out in a rented Chevy station wagon playing bars across America, has produced 17 critically acclaimed albums, scored 13 top 40 singles (including two Billboard #1's) and sold over 40 million records.
		The current chapter of the REO story began when lead singer/songwriter Kevin Cronin, keyboardist and founding member Neal Doughty and bass guitarist Bruce Hall joined forces with former Ted Nugent lead guitarist Dave Amato and studio drummer Bryan Hitt to form the new and improved REO Speedwagon.
		He joined REO in 1976 when he was playing in a bar band in Champaign, IL, the same musical scene that spawned REO Speedwagon.

		It seems like hardly a day goes by when I am not asked, "Hey, by the way, whatever happened to REO Speedwagon?" This could be because I work at the REO Speedwagon Information Hotline, but I like to think it's because the world burns to know more about REO.
		The band is infamous in their zealous protection of their own privacy but I managed to entice them into an interview by offering them money for heroin.
		At this point, REO tried to throw balloons full of green slime down drummer Bryan Hitt's pants but they weren't able to do it and I ended up winning a Sony Walkman.

		On the other side of the spectrum, Doughty, the only REO band member to stick with the group since its beginnings in 1971, is an expert at being a classic rock act.
		For REO Speedwagon, the past year has been spent splitting time between touring and the recording studio.

	REO Speedwagon album reviews
		REO fans are often pleased to find this lost classic, which had high quality music but little publicity.
		REO succeeded in producing a number of hits here, but lost the musical consistency of the last few albums.
		This album marked REO's first studio release in six years (just ask us REO fans how long we waited for this album!) The band spent much time in the studio perfecting their sound, but the album just couldn't live up to the expectations of many fans.

		I like REO Speedwagon, yet I like classic punk and disco, two genres of music that broke the musical cul-de-sac America seemed to be going into.
		REO Speedwagon's "The Hits," makes the unfortunate mistake of emphasizing the band's latter history as vapid, power balladeers over their earlier, more energetic garage band days.
		In 1984, REO Speedwagon released their last top ten album, "Wheels are Turnin'," which reached #7 on the Billboard 200.

		Like Journey and Styx, REO Speedwagon was a '70s rock band that scored its biggest hits with radio-friendly rock and lovesick power ballads during the early '80s.
		One of the finest melodic rock bands of their era, REO Speedwagon's weakness, as with many similar bands, was that their albums were too often padded out with filler.
		REO Speedwagon: The Hits has something for everyone and includes some rock and a few of the ballads too.

		REO's second CD from this same concert was called Extended Live, and it's not "extended" at all.
		After two major fiascos and multiple complaints from fans out of the starting gate on the St. Louis recording, REO decided the third time might be a charm.
		The video is a documentary of Neal Doughty, the one original cast member of REO, taking 4 guys along for the ride and coasting into retirement on the REO gravy train of hits that were written decades ago.

		REO Speedwagon was the most intact, merely going without lead guitarist and co-songwriter Gary Richrath.
		So they did "Lady" and "Come Sail Away," and everyone fired up their lighters and sang along, and by the end of the set the band had achieved the ultimate in rock cliches: Tommy Shaw had a woman's red bra, rather large, dangling from the end of his guitar.
		"Ridin' the Storm Out" was a great way for REO Speedwagon to open with this crowd, but that left only a handful of bullets in the gun.

		When asked when did you become an REO fan, my reply is always ever since I could say the letters R E O. But the truth really is, I became a loyal fan when I first heard "Can't Fight This Feeling".
		Most REO fans are loyal to the "original" members and shun the new material.
		Being at the REO Convention in 1998 in Indiana was a unique experience.

		Three bands were the undisputed arena rock kings of the early '80s â€” Styx, Journey, and REO Speedwagon â€” yet all weren't overnight success stories (in fact, each group began pursuing different musical styles originally â€” prog rock, fusion, and straight-ahead hard rock, respectively, before transforming slowly into chart-topping mainstream rockers).
		REO has made so much good stuff that it's unbelievable they aren't in, and the musicianship is great too, or are we gonna deny that Gary was a bad guitarist?
		The mere mention of Reo Speedwagon being considered for induction into the HOF is cause for riotous laughter.

		I don't know if it was cool or just kind of scary, but I did start to realize exactly why I liked REO Speedwagon back then, and why I, as well as the thousands of folks there this night, still like them today.
		Because REO is you basic guitar-based rock and roll with some organ/synthesizer for effect.

		She jumped the player to the REO disc, and tried to sing along with "Don't Let Him Go," but something was missing.
		Be all that as it may, with the current trend of aged performers casting off the cozy confines of the Old Rockers Retirement Ranch and hitting the road, it was a slam-dunk that these two wheezing warhorses of schlock would hit the concert trail.

	DVD.net : REO Speedwagon - Live Plus - DVD Review
		The only-possibly-from-America five piece REO Speedwagon must have known what they were doing when they named themselves after a truck, for they’re obviously built like one.
		Along with the slicked back sheen of their trademark ballads, REO do rock out a little at times — politely, of course - however in all this comes across as rather a restrained performance, even if everybody on stage does seem to be having a ball.
		Ha, don’t be fooled into excitement though — it’s simply 50 sometimes completely ridiculous trivia questions served up on static screens that would most likely even have the band’s mothers scratching their heads in complete befuddlement.
