Yeah unfortunately in the 80s they became A commercial pop band instead of a great rocking band that they started out to be, I still love them but it's a shame
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.
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.
What an awesome brother, and great tribute for the love and acknowledgement of your beloved Sister & her Warriors fight!! May her BEAUTIFUL SOUL REST IN ETERNAL PEACE....🥹🙏🙏🙏🙏
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.
R.E.O. Speedwagon 💗 is awesome! So much energy and emotion... clear voice and strong harmonies. Killer in studio - and this was a great live. Thx. If you haven't done ... Long Way Home, I would always hear that at 5pm when the DJ put it on after work. 💜💜💜
The bands name is R.E.O Speedwagon named after an old truck from the very early days of automobiles. They have a bunch of hits you will enjoy! Lead singer Kevin Cronin wrote a lot of the songs.
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.
Paul Carrack in a song wrote: "You're a white line to an exit sign." That line right there. This song is the ultimate I am moving on with my life. 70's songs were all about love and sunshine and then the 80's came with we broke up and I am not looking back.
Great reaction Britt. I love this band try Can't fight this feeling, Keep on loving you and Take it on the run. They have a great sound. Again great memories, the 70s 80s where awesome
Thank you for playing my song Britt! It brings so much joy to us to see your reactions to the music we grew up with! You’re a lovely young woman and a pleasure to spend time with. Thanks again! ❤
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!
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/
Also Britt, there was one of those bands in the 80s that had a string of hits back to back to back that I do not believe you have reacted to as of yet. The band is named the Cars. Tonight She Comes or Magic is a good start.
These guys are from just up the road from where I live. Champaign Illinois! My uncle used to room with a couple of the founding members when he got back from Vietnam. Incredible band with one of the best album titles ever, You Can Tune a Piano but You Can’t Tuna Fish!
Every saturday night at midnight where I grew up we watched this show. This is how I got to see what the bands looked like, long before MTV or any music videos and they had some real greats on there. Ever heard of the Johnny Carson show? some great acts on there too.
REO taught me how to type. I was having a hard time looking at practice pages, and type, so I sang their songs in my head, and typed them out. Once I had the keys down I learn to read and type it out.
Reo speed wagon was my go to music listened while studying thru nursing school .all their music was great loved riverside and golden country they were excellent in concert.
Agreed @llschnitz Also, you can’t go wrong with “Blazin’ Your Own Trail Again”, a live version of “Like You Do”, “Take It On The Run”, “Roll With The Changes” and “Don’t Let Him Go” #reospeedwagon #reo
In the early days you could catch Speedwagon and Styx in small venues in Illinois. Then shot to the moon which is where they belong, up with the stars.
Girl, we grew up with so much great music and musical shows. The Midnight Special, Soul Train, American Bandstand, Sonny & Cher, The Partridge Family, lol, The Osmonds, The Jackson Five.
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.❤
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!
This is the one right here 🔥 Covered this era of tunes with all kinds of bands since college, but this song never misses. I can’t even explain why, but it does. Well done, Speedwagons 👌🏼
I love this group, one of my faves...and this song...oh I used to sing this song at the top of my lungs when I was dealing w/a toxic guy (and yes, I finally DID FLY FLY AWAY!)
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.
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.)
@@juliagrant3299 The internet is a very useful thing. I only found out these details (and the history of Styx, and complete madness that was Fleetwood Mac before the Big Hits and so on) within the past few years, myself. Thankfully, I still have a good memory, so I enjoy putting the pieces together.
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.
@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
the greatest break up song of all time. And I do believe it was taken from personal experience. The song was recorded in 1978 from the album You Can Tune A Piano But You Can't Tuna Fish. Also on that album is their best song Roll With The Changes.
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 think they are a Canadian band hes on stage doing a duet with his daughter hes all old n grey and she looks like shes 19 maybe 20 .. the song I cant fight this feeling 6.4 million views September 14 2019
Tough Guys is really good with something unique in it. Always loved spankie and alfalfa. Their Hi Infidelity album cover was one of the all time great rock pictures during the 80s
RIP Gary Ritchrath
th-cam.com/video/dApg72sosT8/w-d-xo.html
An amazing guitarist.
@@TristanandIsolt "Roll with the Changes" "Golden Country"
@@craighermle7727 I like Roll with the changes. I don't know Golden Country and I like Riding the Storm out best of the old rockers.
@@TristanandIsolt"Golden Country" I believe was on their album R.E.O ./T.W.O. That song is 52+ yrs old
“Keep on Lovin You” was a huge hit in 1981. “ICan’t Fight this Feeling Anymore” was another #1 from this group.
The album High Infidelity itself was a huge hit in 1981.
Yeah unfortunately in the 80s they became A commercial pop band instead of a great rocking band that they started out to be, I still love them but it's a shame
She didnt know they relaesed this song i 1975 so its 70s lol
Take it on the run.. my favorite
Heard it from a friend, who...
My favorite.
“Roll With the Changes” is their best Rocker.
I like Little Queenie and Golden Country
How about Riding the Storm Out and Back on the Road Again.
i think one of there best is Music man
Love that track!!!!!! So relevant to life.
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.
Gary Richrath the lead guitar player was a monster guitarist. RIP Gary
He sure was! Saw them many times in the 80s and 90s. GR was always amazing to see.
Riding the storm out is an absolute rocker.
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.

Thats pretty neat!
REO were the initials of Ransom E Olds, the guy who started Oldsmobile.
@@williamh4172 I did not know that. Thanks!
Wasn't the Speedwagon a firetruck?
@@brheinfeldt pretty sure it was.
Greatest opening line to a rock-n-roll song: "Heard it from a friend" by REO Speedwagon.
"Take it on the Run"
R.E.O. Speedwagon 💗 is awesome! So much energy and emotion... clear voice and strong harmonies. Killer in studio - and this was a great live. Thx. If you haven't done ... Long Way Home, I would always hear that at 5pm when the DJ put it on after work. 💜💜💜

I'm a child of the 70s. Love this group!
👍👍🤣🤣
Me too, I knew a Suzanne way back in the mid 70s, she was a beautiful blonde, I wonder if that's you?! Lol🌹👍✌️
this songs from the 70s She didnt know though
Great reaction Britt. I love this band try Can't fight this feeling, Keep on loving you and Take it on the run. They have a great sound. Again great memories, the 70s 80s where awesome
Thank you! Will do!
I’m so lucky to live just south of Champaign Illinois where it all started at the university of Illinois. I’ve been able to see them so many times
I lived about 4 blocks away!!! Love them!!
Such an underrated band! I grew up listening to REO. I love this song!
Thank you for playing my song Britt! It brings so much joy to us to see your reactions to the music we grew up with! You’re a lovely young woman and a pleasure to spend time with. Thanks again! ❤
My favorite break up song.. The 70s were special.
Can’t Fight This Feeling, Take It On The Run and Keep On Loving You are magic

A bar band in Champaign IL in the early 1970s when I was a student at the University of Illinois. They did all right.
Red Lion
The R.E.O. is said as individual letters, not as a word. The band was named after a truck designed by Ransom Eli Olds, whose initials are R.E.O.
When we watched SNL in the late 1970s, The Midnight Special came on right after and we always watched that. This was before MTV and VH1
gigem74 says Howdy
Excellent band…live. No autotune. Talent.
Also Britt, there was one of those bands in the 80s that had a string of hits back to back to back that I do not believe you have reacted to as of yet. The band is named the Cars. Tonight She Comes or Magic is a good start.
The Cars!!! Rick is the best

I'm also from Northern Illinois and REO was the soundtrack of my childhood home for sure. It was always on.
Every saturday night at midnight where I grew up we watched this show. This is how I got to see what the bands looked like, long before MTV or any music videos and they had some real greats on there. Ever heard of the Johnny Carson show? some great acts on there too.

This band is from where I am from, when I was in military when it got close to going home this was an anthem for everyone.
Love watching your reactions. Child of the 80's here... lol. And I must say... the 80's had THE BEST music ever. The era of the "hair bancs" for sure.
Great video. REO is classic Midwestern rock. Well written songs. I highly recommend Golden Country .. a deep song about race issues in the USA
Reo speed wagon was my go to music listened while studying thru nursing school .all their music was great loved riverside and golden country they were excellent in concert.
Agreed @llschnitz Also, you can’t go wrong with “Blazin’ Your Own Trail Again”, a live version of “Like You Do”, “Take It On The Run”, “Roll With The Changes” and “Don’t Let Him Go” #reospeedwagon #reo
Take it on the Run, is a personal favorite.
My parents loved REO Speedwagon so much, I was conceived at a Speedwagon concert in the 80s. No one should know where they were conceived lol.
In the early days you could catch Speedwagon and Styx in small venues in Illinois. Then shot to the moon which is where they belong, up with the stars.
My favorite REO Speedwagon song! It is pronounced (Are-Eee-Oh)
Great performance of a great song - I walked out of a bad marriage a year and a half ago and this tune has propelled me down the road ever since.😎
Early 70's...they played at a bar in Macomb, IL home of Western Illinois Univ. Blew us all away! Then they rocketed to stardom! Great band!
One of my first approved concerts as a teen. R.E.O. Speedwagon was a huge success and masters of the rock ballad.
I have loved this song sin e the first time I heard it, but never fully appreciated the brilliance of the lyrics until I watched this reaction.
I worked on an experimental farm 55years ago and I've actually driven an reo speedwagon! Loved your reaction.
Ive seen Reo Speedwagon 13 times!! They are amazing and this is my favorite song
This was cool beans back in the day great group great songs 😊
You make me feel my age, because I saw these Midnight Special shows when they were first broadcast .....
I saw these guys in concert at Alpine valley Wisconsin in 1980. Great concert!
Girl, we grew up with so much great music and musical shows. The Midnight Special, Soul Train, American Bandstand, Sonny & Cher, The Partridge Family, lol, The Osmonds, The Jackson Five.
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.

Before there was MTV, we had The Midnight Special. I remember staying up late for it. Those were the days.
I went to see REO in ‘78 for my first concert. You know, it’s time to fly.
I've been playing music for 50 years. I love playing this song.

This is my favorite R.E.O. Speed wagon song.
R -E-O. Each letter is said individually, as in initials; not a like a word. 😉
Yeah which is funny because the old truck the band named themselves after was pronounced RIO like a word, pretty sure
This is the one right here 🔥 Covered this era of tunes with all kinds of bands since college, but this song never misses. I can’t even explain why, but it does. Well done, Speedwagons 👌🏼
I always made sure I was in front of a TV to watch midnight special
Kevin Cronin was a great vocalist. And Gary on guitar 🎸. Got to see them live in St Louis many years ago. My favorite song. Time For Me To Fly.
They have a huge catalog of hits. Keep on lovin you,... Riding the storm out. One that is killer live is
157 Riverside ave
One of the best "break up" songs of all time.
I loved this band…so many hits
I’ve seen them 3-4 times including this past summer in Traverse City, Michigan. Always been a fan and they never disappoint
This one of my favorite REO songs. It’s also a great break-up song.
So then summer 2023 and still SO GOOD almost a half decade later!
I love this group, one of my faves...and this song...oh I used to sing this song at the top of my lungs when I was dealing w/a toxic guy (and yes, I finally DID FLY FLY AWAY!)

THIS, The guitar solo alone is worth reacting to.
REO had tons of great songs
By the way, that thing in the fish's (tuna fish that is) mouth is a "tuning fork." It's used to tune musical instrument to a certain key.
Been watching your video.. Love the appreciation for music.I grew up with... And by the way, You have the most beautiful smile.....
FRAME IT, QUOTE IT, PUT it on a wall!!! He is musical poetry!
It is all *very* real.

Just remember, you can tune a piano but you can't tuna fish.
the greatest break up song of all time. And I do believe it was taken from personal experience. The song was recorded in 1978 from the album You Can Tune A Piano But You Can't Tuna Fish. Also on that album is their best song Roll With The Changes.
Great Reaction as always! Thank YOU Soooo much! GOD Bless 🙏🙏🙏
Another great reaction to one of my favorite bands Britt ! Thanks so much beautiful !!
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.
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.
Only the Strong Survive is my all time favorite REO song 🤘
This song was on the same record as Roll With the Changes (You Can Tune a Piano but You Can’t Tuna Fish).
i think they are a Canadian band hes on stage doing a duet with his daughter hes all old n grey and she looks like shes 19 maybe 20 .. the song I cant fight this feeling 6.4 million views September 14 2019
I saw them with STYX last year, so nostalgic 😊
REO was my first concert! Oklahoma City 1982 🤘
Best break up song of all time.
Some of the best lyrics ever written.
Tough Guys is really good with something unique in it. Always loved spankie and alfalfa. Their Hi Infidelity album cover was one of the all time great rock pictures during the 80s
Golden Country 😊
Seen them many times. They have toured with Styx, Def Leppard and Tesla. This year their touring with Train. I'm definitely going to this show!
I recommend their songs 'Take it on the Run' and 'Riding the Storm Out'.
I’ll check it out!
One of they're great songs and btw you are so beautiful ❤
On my playlist as is my Favorite "Take It On the Run"
