I AGREE!! I used to want Gary to come back and SAVE REO. But the more you learn about KC (and I used to be a BIG KC fan), the more you dislike him. The...
http://tinyurl.com/5p9eqd Dont' know if anyone else had seen this. "Sometimes it seems like a band just doesn't know when to quit. Just imagine how many times...
Wow, great article. I would have to agree with most of the bands mentioned, especially the Beach Boys. They lost my respect when they did a rap version of...
REO might still be decent like Styx and Journey if Kevin had not turned it into a wuss band. An acoustic version of "Ridin' the Storm Out?" You don't see...
The only thing I disagree with is Chicago, though they were better when Terry Kath was with them, I still love Chicago, just saw them a few months ago when...
Honestly, I don't see any of the bands listed as being depressed about their current situations. Of course they're not the same as they were when they were in...
Agree. I think out of respect and dignity, KC sould have taken the old, worn out, broken down horse out behind the barn years ago and shot it. To continue on,...
Hey! I just paid $120 for 10th row to see Steely Dan play at, yes, an outdoor ampitheater last month and it was freakin' spectacular. They still sound amazing...
You tell 'em, Rich! And I've got news for you all- you're getting old, too! Heck, at my age, I'd look like the oldest geezer loser trying to fit in with the...
Gary's next album should be called "The Wrath of Richrath"! I hope he's working on new music, and I hope he sings on it. I can see lots of reasons why Gary is...
I agree. The only bands who shouldn't tour anymore are those that aren't selling tickets. I don't think any of the bands in that article are in that boat yet....

Don't feel bad. I paid $90.00 per ticket for REO's July 17 show at the Rosebud Theater in Effingham, Illinois. I was in the front row and got to stand right in...
But remember, a few here say that the new trash is better than any 70's albums! Such a bad cd, there must be something inside the wrapper that brainwashes them...
IMO, it remains REO Speedwagon. It just isn't Gary's REO anymore. I personally liked the band much better during Gray's days, but that doesn't mean there...
Yep, got a point there. Another example of day late, dollar short! Too bad I wasn't old enough to get into the bars where they used to play. Although, I don't...
I disagree... Gary WAS REO. Now days, they only bring in the crowd that wants to hear CFTF or KOLY. That isn't the real REO, or at least the REO I grew up...
I agree that Gary was REO as it was during the 70's. Unfortunately, for good or for bad, KC's influence was what generated the hits in the early 80's and he...
Yes, and this also involves one's musical taste. The "80's" was not the genre that personally moves me. To be honest, the "80's" sucked outloud as far as...
I just wanted to take a few seconds to say that this is the case with most bands of REO's genre. Up until this year, most Journey fans only wanted to hear...
I was at a concert a few years ago where this woman was next to me and during a stretch of "Keep Pushin'", "Tough Guys", "Roll with the Changes", "Ridin' the...

WOW!! I think I'm in love! Michelle - You did a great job describing why REO has fallen off into musical oblivion. The 80's were a very different decade when...
I had not heard of REO Speedwagon until the 1980's Hi-Infidelity album. After this big hit, their follow-up Good Trouble sucked!! So I began to go back and...
