1980–2026years

REO Speedwagon got going in Champaign, Illinois, back in 1967, and they have spent the '70s building their following the hard way, one record and one show at a time. Neal Doughty has been on keyboards from day one, Alan Gratzer has been behind the drums just as long, Gary Richrath's guitar has been the band's snarl since 1970, and Bruce Hall joined on bass in 1977. The singer's chair has seen more traffic: Terry Luttrell, then Kevin Cronin, then Mike Murphy, and then Cronin again from 1976.

Cronin's return made all the difference. You Can Tune a Piano, but You Can't Tuna Fish (1978) is the sound of a heartland bar band tightening up for the arena, and "Roll With The Changes", with its big shout-along chorus, is the song that says it best, while "Time For Me To Fly" slows things down without losing any of the lift.

What came next was bigger than anyone expected. Hi Infidelity (1980) sold more than 10 million copies, and "Keep On Loving You" and later "Can't Fight This Feeling" both went to number one. The band sold more than 40 million records in all before finally retiring after sixteen studio albums.
