Yeah, I know I make a lot of "favourite" threads, but I find it fun. Anywho, what's your favourite REO Speedwagon song? Mine would have to be Keep The Fire Burnin'.

Roll With the Changes. I love the keyboard parts throughout, both piano and organ.

Yeah, love the lyrics. All men have been in a relationship like that at some point.

I have always liked Don't Let Him Go.

1) Variety Tonight
2) Don't Let Him Go
3) That song that's on The Goonies soundtrack (dunno what record it's from, can't remember what it's called but it's kick-ass)

Doesn't need to be...some of the best tunes are mid-tempo kinda things that have some menace and slow-burn kind of feel.

But trot out a "Keep On Loving You" and my dome will be on a swivel looking for nearest exit.

Soooo.......I Can't Fight This Feeling Anymore would pop your top JoePa? :lol:

My faves from REO have never been the ballads.
Gotta love the mid tempo mid road rippers.

Can’t Fight This Feeling. :oops:

I know most people hate this song (see JoePa's post) but I can’t help but like it.

As far as straight forward rock goes I would choose “157 Riverside Avenue” from the Live: You Get What You Play For album.

Not that I hate it, or hate IT and IT ALONE, it's just ballads as a general rule suck and bore me to tears.

To be honest, I never really liked REO much until I heard these great live performances with Styx – Tommy Shaw has some great vocals on RWTC.
('Keep on loving you' still makes me cringe, though, lol)


Don’t Let Him Go (not sure of the title)
