      To be fair, Ransom Eli Olds may have used his initials for his new company, but the trucks *were* pronounced "REO"
      However, when Alan Gratzer (drums) told Neal Doughty (keys) that their band needed a name and Neal saw "REO Speedwagon" written on the blackboard in his History of Transportation class (they were students at the University of Illinois), he and Gratzer (and Joe Matt and Mike Blair, who left the band when they graduated at the end of the term) decided that "R-E-O" sounded better, and the band has always pronounced it that way.

    When my oldest Sister passed away from cancer, her daughter asked me to pick a song for the funeral. My sister loved REO Speedwagon and she had all their albums. Although the song talks about breaking free from a relationship, she was breaking free from cancer after a hard fought 5 year battle. It was her time to fly and finally be pain free. Its been 9 years this week since she earned her wings and this song will always be bittersweet to me.

      REO has quite a few songs you could consider as being their best, but "Roll With The Changes" is certainly one of their best charting tracks (Hi Infidelity had a handful of songs that also did very well on the charts). But for as rocking as “Roll With the Changes” is, I've always felt "Take Me" from the Nine Lives album rocks just a little bit more. Bruce Hall's bass wants to cut you in half.

    It's R.E.O. Speedwagon. In the early years of the American automotive industry, when there were hundreds of automobile manufacturers, there was a company named R.E.O.! They had a model called the Speedwagon and the band members saw one in a museum. They were trying to come up with a name for their band, and they all agreed that was it. Try listening to Riding the Storm Out from their live album. They wrote it while being snowed in at an airport in the Rocky mountains.

    I never bought an Reo Speedwagon album, but I feel like their songs were still the soundtrack of my childhood. They do a good job of building their songs, a lot of their stuff starts off steady and then picks up more and more energy. Pretty interesting lyrics for a rock band, too. This is like the male version of Sugarland's "Stay", but manages to avoid the heartbreaking sadness.

    REO is a great band - made fantastic Rock Ballads with great stories and memorable lyrics. I think I've used Time for Me to Fly lol! So many good songs with Kevin Cronin the Lead Singer and Of course the late great Gary Ritchrath on that screaming electric guitar. Check Riding the Storm Out Roll with the Changes, Don't Let Him Go, Keep On Loving YOU, Take it on the Run and so many others! REO is right from the late 70s into the Early 80s - like 1978 and strong through around 1983. Had Mega hits like the album Hi Infidelity and others. Pronounce the Letters R E O then the word Speedwagon. Speewagons were old-time fast cars/

    Hey Britt. Glad you found this song; I was 13 when it came out! When you say the band's name, say the initials R-E-O. They stand for Ransom E. Olds, as in Oldsmobile, and the vehicle, the Speedwagon. Fun, true fact: my grandmother was courted by Ransom E. Olds, but she married my grandfather instead. Good for me, sad for the lost fortune!

    It is all *very* real.
    When Kevin Cronin (vocals, acoustic guitar, piano) was in high school, he was a skinny little thing, and the "tough guys" would beat him up and call him gay, so when Kevin got a girlfriend ("Tough Guys", 1980), he clung to the relationship both as emotional support and as validation of his heterosexuality.
    However, by 1972, when Kevin had joined REO (replacing Terry Luttrell, the singer for the debut album), the relationship had turned toxic. He didn't have the guts to break it off, but in 1973 when the band took its first tour outside of Illinois, the distance enabled Kevin to write this song. (This was the same trip to Denver that inspired lead guitarist Gary Richrath to write the band's classic, "Ridin' the Storm Out", 1973.)
    However, Kevin didn't a chance to record the song, as he was fired from the band during the recording of the "Ridin' the Storm Out'. (Mike Murphy sang lead on that, and the next two albums.) It wasn't until 1976 that Kevin got his job back (the upcoming 6th album was the last of the original contract, and the label thought that the album with Kevin ["T.W.O.", 1972] had been the best of the five [IMO correctly, although I give most of the credit to Gary Richrath's songwriting] and while they had built a following as a fantastic live concert group, the label wanted Kevin back, going forward. [Richrath tried to recruit Gregory X. Volz, of the Christian band Emmanuel, but Volz declined to join a secular band]) and by then, he probably thought that the song was too much in the past.
    It wasn't until the band cemented its position with the excellent double live album "You Get What You Play For" (1977), that Kevin decided to put the song on their next album, "You Can Tune a Piano, But You Can't Tuna Fish" (1978). Perhaps he was influenced by the fact that he was moving into a new relationship with the woman who would become his first wife, ,whom he had known for the intervening five years, as detailed in "Roll With the Changes" (1978).
    And indeed, Kevin and Denise soon were wed. (It didn't work out, but that's for other songs. And Kevin has been married to his second wife, Lisa, since 1992. So it just took a little time.)

    R.E.O Speedwagon is one of the few bands that were better live than their studio versions. Saw them many times between 1978-1989. While this song doesn't display his guitar prowess, the late Gary Richrath (from my hometown) was one of the best rock guitarists during that era. His solo in "Golden Country" from the album "Live: You Get What You Play For" is EPIC.

    This song is THE Breakup Anthem. I will always be transported back to the end of my first marriage when I hear this song. It got me through.

    @BrittReacts. Back in the day The Midnight Special was how we got to see our favrorite bands play their latest hits...and it was worth tuning in just to see Wolfman Jack, who a lot of us would hear on "The X" radio station...now, those were the days. Rock ON

    Just found you for the first time. You are so fucking adorable. I've been listening to REO my whole life and it was truly joyous to see your reaction to it. I felt like I was hearing it for the first time again. Transported right to my childhood. You also have a lovely voice.

    I really looked forward to Midnight Special every single week. Great memories with friends watching together. With no social media, the only way we knew anything about our favorite bands was to catch them on TV, buy a magazine (which were far and few between) or buy the album that held pictures and small articles.❤

    Check out their album "You Can Tune a Piano, But You Can't Tuna Fish". Time For Me to Fly is probably my favorite REO song. Good tune... Check out the band April Wine and the live version of "You Won't Dance With Me" from the album Live at The El Mocambo. Their lead singer Myles Goodwyn recently died. April Wine is a Canadian band that I just loved since the 70s. My band covered several of their songs.

    I left an ABUSIVE relationship with this song in tow. Our music wasnt just music. It affected real life changing. On " The Turning Away," i dont " turn away from the poor and broken." Pink Floyd. I keep going as a " Wayward Son." I did find " peace" when i was done. Kansas. I see the " purple reign and the purple healing rain." Prince. I keep " running down my dreams," Tom Petty. I found out, " im never Alone," and " they really dont care about us," Michael Jackson. I did, look at " The woman in the mirror," and made changes. I can go on and on and on.

    I haven't even started yet and I'm thrilled that you hit this one. It's so important in rock music from the '70s it really is. But I'm already going to say like everybody else yelling out requests, I would definitely say check out Golden Country from their live album. Because you will listen to it and you will be blown away because it's musically astounding but it's also socially and verbally pulling no punches. And then you'll realize man the same thing needs to be said today.

    REO Speedwagon were mega-stars in the late 70's through the 80's - they had tons of hit songs! You've done "Roll With the Changes", and now "Time for Me to Fly" - listen to "Riding the Storm Out" for the rock trifecta, then settle in for some of the best rock ballads of all time - "Keep on Loving You", "Can't Fight This Feeling", "Take it on the Run", and my sappy ass's personal favorites, "In my Dreams" and "Here With Me"! Lots of great music for you to discover, and give your unique commentary on!
