The Hits

The Hits (1988) more music like this

by REO Speedwagon

Over the course of the 1980s, REO Speedwagon became one of the decade's leading power balladeers. However, these singles sapped the band's reputation as a rock & roll band. Although it may focus more on ballads such as "Time for Me to Fly," "Keep on Loving You," and "Can't Fight This Feeling," Hits does not completely overlook the band's rock ...

Hi Infidelity

Hi Infidelity (1980) more music like this

by REO Speedwagon

Many albums have scaled to the top of the American charts, many of them not so good, but few have been as widely forgotten and spurned as REO Speedwagon's Hi Infidelity. In a way, the group deserved this kind of success. They had been slogging it out in the arenas of the U.S., building up a sizeable audience because they could deliver live. And ...

Monster Ballads

Monster Ballads (1999) more music like this

by Various Artists

Razor & Tie's Monster Ballads provides a near-definitive portrait of the golden age of the power ballad, the late '80s/early '90s (henceforth known as the Bush era). Sure, a few of the 16 songs were recorded prior to the Bush era (such as Mike Reno and Anne Wilson's genre-defining "Almost Paradise" or Europe's "Carrie"), and there are a few ...

'80s Pop Hits [Sony]

'80s Pop Hits [Sony] (2001) more music like this

by Various Artists

'80s Pop Hits is a three-disc set from Sony with a heavy emphasis on ballads, many of which continue to be played on adult contemporary radio stations across the U.S. The relatively upbeat material -- like Wham!'s "Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go," Toto's "Rosanna," Luther Vandross' "Stop for Love," and Deniece Williams' "Let's Hear It for the Boy" -- ...

You Can Tune a Piano, But You Can't Tuna Fish

You Can Tune a Piano, But You Can't Tuna Fish (1978) more music like this

by REO Speedwagon

You Can Tune a Piano, But You Can't Tuna Fish was a breakthrough album for REO Speedwagon in a sense, gelling the guitar craft of Gary Richrath and the vocals of Kevin Cronin with songs that rambled and rolled and never stopped for air. Richrath's style finally formed some catchy hooks, and Cronin's songwriting is solid, while his voice sounds ...

Life as We Know It

Life as We Know It (1987) more music like this

by REO Speedwagon

The critics were never kind to REO Speedwagon, but Life As We Know It even received a ranking in the Worst Rock n' Roll Records of All Time. By now the fivesome's quest for a chart-busting ballad almost reached new age ("In My Dreams"). REO can still drop good punchy pop like "Can't Get You Out of My Heart." And, of course, Bruce Hall comes ...

Billboard Top Hits: 1985 (1985) more music like this

by Various Artists

Rhino's most recent collection featuring the top-selling pop singles by decade begins with 1985, and shows that the period's dominant styles included Prince-influenced R&B, synthesizer pop and retro rock. Among the spotlight artists were Mr. Mister, Tears For Fears, REO Speedwagon and John Parr, none of them household names today. The same holds ...

The Essential REO Speedwagon

The Essential REO Speedwagon (2004) more music like this

by REO Speedwagon

REO Speedwagon reached the Billboard charts 24 times. Not all of those were big hits, of course. Some of the early singles barely qualified for the Hot 100, while some of the latter-day hits made no waves outside of the Mainstream Rock charts, which means that they are relatively unheard by the pop audience that loved Hi Infidelity and "Can't ...

Find Your Own Way Home

Find Your Own Way Home (2007) more music like this

by REO Speedwagon

REO Speedwagon delivered their 15th studio album, Find Your Own Way Home, 11 years after Building the Bridge. Given the band's slow drift into adult contemporary pop in the late '80s, it's a bit of surprise that this album rocks as hard as it does, opening with the strident rocker "Smilin' in the End," where Kevin Cronin doesn't sound anything ...

Live: You Get What You Play For (1977) more music like this

by REO Speedwagon

REO Speedwagon built their audience through constant touring. Often, their live shows were more exciting than their records, which is what makes You Get What You Play For, a live run-through of their greatest hits, one of their better records of the era. Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide

Good Trouble (1982) more music like this

by REO Speedwagon

Good Trouble disappointed the bean counters and the snob critics who always hated this Champaign quintet anyway. Sure it's no Hi Infidelity, but Good Trouble shoots out some golden shards. Where Hi Infidelity perfectly balanced the muscle of REO's '70s stuff with wads of bankable bubblegum, here, lead single "Keep the Fire Burning" signals a ...

Only Rock 'N Roll 1980-1984: 20 Pop Hits (1996) more music like this

by Various Artists

Not to be confused with Only Rock 'N Roll 1980-1984: #1 Radio Hits, Only Rock 'N Roll: 1980-1984 is a strong sampler of Top 40 pop/rock from the first half of the '80s, albeit one that's largely interchangeable with similar compilations. Most everything here reached at least the Top Ten on the Billboard singles chart, and most everything here is ...

Wheels Are Turnin' (1984) more music like this

by REO Speedwagon

Wheels Are Turnin' blends clear, crisp ballads with high-energy pop/rock, which eventually gave REO Speedwagon four Top 40 singles, the same amount as Hi Infidelity credited them with four years earlier. Kevin Cronin's writing is rock-solid, a delightful turnaround from 1982's Good Trouble album. As one of the band's best ballads, "Can't Fight ...

Like, Omigod! The '80s Pop Culture Box (Totally) (2002) more music like this

by Various Artists

Rock criticism has two schools of thought regarding the '80s. One complains that it was all crass, commercial crap, breathing a sigh of relief that we made it through that dreck (thanks to IRS, SST, jangle pop, college rock, and hardcore punk, of course). The other celebrates the album as "cheesy" fun, full of naïve, silly singles; bad haircuts; ...

Ridin' the Storm Out (1974) more music like this

by REO Speedwagon

REO Speedwagon began to come into its own with its third album, Ridin' the Storm Out. Over the years, the record became a platinum-seller, due to the strength of their series of opening shows for more successful rock acts, but it originally charted at number 171. While the group still had elements of their bar band boogie, they began to streamline ...

by Various Artists

Harley Davidson Road Songs features a total of 30 hard rock classics spread across two discs. All of the songs either reference the biker lifestyle or feature biker motifs. The emphasis is partly on '70s legends -- Bob Seger, Lynyrd Skynyrd, the Allman Brothers -- and a couple of hard rock bands: W.A.S.P., Great White, and so on. Nearly everything ...

Nine Lives (1979) more music like this

by REO Speedwagon

REO Speedwagon gets slagged regularly, but they always deliver in concert and the freewheelin' Nine Lives, their (natch) ninth, sports one cool sleeve: tight leather, suspenders, fishnets, and cat chicks. The black circle inside rocks mightily also. Bassman Bruce Hall steps up to the plate with "Back on the Road Again," a stadium stage staple that ...

"I used to be lonely 'til I learned about living alone." Kevin Cronin blazes back into the REO fold for the second time with inspiring tush-kicker "Keep Pushing," and ignites the band's golden period. Admirers Enuff Z'nuff (also from Illinois) quote this cut on their debut. Gary Richrath knocks Cronin out of the spotlight (the dynamic of this ...
