Overall Rating:2.85 based on 86 ratings
ItemImageThree bands were the undisputed arena rock kings of the early '80s — Styx, Journey, and REO Speedwagon — yet all weren't overnight success stories (in fact, each group began pursuing different musical styles originally — prog rock, fusion, and straight-ahead hard rock, respectively, before transforming slowly into chart-topping mainstream rockers). REO Speedwagon first formed in 1968, via a pair of University of Illinois students, keyboardist Neal Doughty and drummer Alan Gratzer... Read More... at allmusic.com

My God! Do I hate their lead singer's voice! (No, I don't know his name, and I don't WANT to know his name.) I can't believe he hasn't been arrested for breaking glass. It gets on my freaking nerves! Fingernails on chalkboard, that is all I think of when his voice comes on the radio.

The history of this band speaks for itslef. Look at all the marginal bands that the RR Hall of Fame has. This band should already be in there!!!

One of the most jammin' bands of their time, particularly the 70s sound.

Any group that sounds this good live, have as many hits, and are still in the mix after 30 plus years of performing, deserve to be in the RR Hall of Fame. The business is brutal, yet they Keep Pushin'

REO may be the ultimate live rock band. Their concerts are awesome compared to their recorded stuff (which is saying a lot, because the recorded stuff is great too). I think that's what rock is about though...experiencing it...any band with concerts that good has to be in... I hear a lot about how their songs all sound the same, but no way. And their meanings behind their songs are great as well.

REO should get in on their live greatness alone. These guys came fromt he midwest, had to prove themselves as rockers, and did. REO has made so much good stuff that it's unbelievable they aren't in, and the musicianship is great too, or are we gonna deny that Gary was a bad guitarist? No, this band deserves to be in before most of the crap in there.

I believe that any band that is still performing, selling records, and has millions of fans should be in the hall of fame. The midwest rocks just as hard as the west coast, so midwest bands should be in the hall of fame.

The mere mention of Reo Speedwagon being considered for induction into the HOF is cause for riotous laughter. Never!

if they ever get in, the rock and roll hall of fame will become the center of a galactic implosion, in which the universe will actually swallow itself. please, don't let it happen. i only gave a star because they don't allow you to comment and put zero stars. shame.

Came along when anything crappy with a video became a hit. Thanks MTV. No, I think you should ask them if they deserve it. I bet my bottom dollar even they would say no.

No to RRHF. Hi Infidelity was their best album. Beyond that nothing much.
