Product Description

CD Description

Like Journey and Styx, REO Speedwagon was a '70s rock band that scored its biggest hits with radio-friendly rock and lovesick power ballads during the early '80s. Rock dudes couldeasily identify with guitarist Gary Richrath's crunchy power chords, while the girls could find solace in singer Kevin Cronin's delicate tales of the ups and downs of love.
On the 1988 compilation THE HITS, the best of REO Speedwagon's both worlds are featured--rocking standouts like "Ridin' theStorm Out" and "Roll with the Changes", as well as such softer fare as "Keep on Lovin' You" and "Can't Fight This Feeling". Although one of their biggest hits, "Keep the Fire Burnin'", is strangely absent, THE HITS is by and large a well-assembled collection of REO's biggest hits.

4.0 out of 5 stars An excellent introduction to the band, 7 April 2003
One of the finest melodic rock bands of their era, REO Speedwagon's weakness, as with many similar bands, was that their albums were too often padded out with filler. The Hits then, is an important addition to the catalogue, as it brings together all the strongest singles on one recording.

Obviously the best-known tracks, 'Can't Fight This Feeling' and 'Keep On Loving You' are essential for any fan of melodic rock. This album offers much more though. The newer songs, 'I Don't Wanna Lose You' and 'Here With Me' are really top notch and set the standard for the rest of the album. Although there's the odd track dotted about that doesn't quite hit the same heights as the rest, the overall result is much more consistent than anything else they've released, and it will become an important part of your collection.
