REO Speedwagon Artist Snapshot:

Though the Champaign, IL group REO SPEEDWAGON eventually became known as one of the preeminent stadium-rock bands of the late 1970s/early '80s, they started out at a grass-roots level as a hardworking local act. On REO's early-'70s albums, their pure American sound hinted at the hard-rock style of bands like the James Gang (whose Joe Walsh guested on RIDIN' THE STORM OUT). By the end of the decade, however, they had adopted a more commercial sound bolstered by power ballads like "Keep on Lovin' You," which broke them through to stardom in 1981. Returned to the top of the charts in 1985 with yet another power ballad "Can't Fight This Feeling."

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. Rock dudes could easily identify with guitarist Gary Richrath's crunchy power chords, while the girls could find solace in singer Kevin Cronin's delicate tales of the ups and downs of love.

On the 1988 compilation THE HITS, the best of REO Speedwagon's both worlds are featured--rocking standouts like "Ridin' the Storm Out" and "Roll with the Changes," as well as such softer fare as "Keep on Lovin' You" and "Can't Fight This Feeling." Although one of their biggest hits, "Keep the Fire Burnin'," is strangely absent, THE HITS is by and large a well-assembled collection of REO's biggest hits.
