REO Speedwagon

I listened to both their early works and the albums from the ’80s deemed their peak like "High Infidelity": well... stomach-churning, the worst of AOR, or rather its most clichéd incarnation. Stale melodies, flaccid, anonymous music, sold out more than commercial. At times, they unintentionally brush against Bubblemusic. Even Journey are better than these dull craftsmen. And bands like Toto (or even Survivor at this point) are light-years ahead. A unique banality. I only save "Nine Lives" and a little else scattered here and there. Our Pooh, in comparison, are Stockhausen.

REO Speedwagon

REO Speedwagon are an American rock band formed in 1967 in Champaign, Illinois, led by vocalist Kevin Cronin. They shifted from 70s hard rock to sleek AOR with 1980’s Hi Infidelity, which became the top U.S. album of 1981, powered by the No. 1 single Keep On Loving You. They followed with the chart-topping ballad Can’t Fight This Feeling and performed at Live Aid in 1985. After a long studio break, they returned with Find Your Own Way Home in 2007.
