No One Rocks Harder than REO Speedwagon

Not Foreigner, not Fleetwood Mac, not even Boston. REO Speedwagon belongs in a category all its own, head and shoulders above the rest.


Remember when the '80's were coming to a close? It seemed as though you couldn't turn on a television or radio without some clueless talking head proclaiming that REO Speedwagon's best days were behind them, that REO Speedwagon just wouldn't last in the '90's. How wrong they were. The '90's proved to be some of REO Speedwagon's most fertile years where they released their most vital and most timely compilations of their previous hits.

Be assured, REO Speedwagon shows no signs of slowing down or resting on their laurels. Even today they are continuing to re-release their hits from the '70's and the '80's for brand new compilations and "best of" albums. And their fame continues to skyrocket apace. Who could have guessed that REO Speedwagon, after its humble start playing bars across the Midwest would today be playing venues as big as state fairs, casinos and cruise ships?

It's success well deserved for REO Speedwagon. No one rocks harder, thrashes louder or pounds out more musical agression than REO Speedwagon.
