Not as good as Chad Wackerman

I have the self titled REO Speedwagon album. Its definitely uncool to like them though...........although I used to sing most of the tracks :doh:..........
but there are some really lame ones. Then again I used to sing some of the Air Supply songs and you cant beat a bit of Boston now and then........whoa then theres Foreigner, Styx and Toto.

Right, I will lift the rug and sweep them all back underneath.....


You didnt see me. Right :mad:

Ahh Zappa's drummer :)

Never been an REO fan but will admit to seeing Styx live back in the day, the Paradise Theatre tour iirc.

Must confess, Hi Infidelity is something of a guilty pleasure. Excellent tunes. I see them as something as a poor man's Supertramp!

Anyone going to Nottingham Rock City on Monday night? I'm going with the wife as it's her birthday as she's always wanted to see them live.Looking forward to it should be good.

I saw them in the US many moons ago supported by Loverboy. Eighties-tastic.

Hi-Infidelity is one of my favourite albums.

I was in their hometown of Champaign a few weeks ago where they have a street named after them. I mentioned this and a few proudly told me that they are from their town but when I asked what songs they sung nobody could tell me any! Crackers!
