REO Speedwagon

REO Speedwagon

REO Speedwagon is an American rock band from Champaign, Illinois. They became known in the 70s and 80s for their power ballads, like, "Ridin' The Storm Out," "I Can't Fight This Feeling," "Take It On The Run," "Time For Me To Fly" and "Keep on Loving You."

By the end of the 1980s the band had lost the majority of its popularity and they began to drift apart. Their 1990 release The Earth, A Small Man, His Dog And A Chicken did not receive the positive reaction that they would have liked. It was the last album they made that charted on the BillBoard Hot 300.

The year 2000, marked a big event for REO when they joined forces with Styx, for a tour. In 2003, they joined forces once more, along with Journey.
