Editorial Reviews

Import-only compilation from the American Classic Rock act who hit their peak with their 1980 album Hi-Infidelity that sold seven million in the U.S. alone. The band began as a hard rockin' outfit, ignored by the critics but adored by their fanbase. When vocalist/songwriter Kevin Cronin took the reigns, he steered the band towards a softer, gentler direction, which earned the band huge commercial rewards (although the critics began to dislike them even more). In the '80s, REO scored many hits and , for a time, were just as popular as Journey, Foreigner and other like-minded bands. Tracks include the AOR radio staples, 'Keep On Loving You', 'Can't Fight This Feeling', 'Don't Let Him Go' and 'Take It On The Run'. 15 tracks in all. Sony. 2000.

2.0 out of 5 stars Terrible Sound Quality, Questionable Track Choices!, September 17, 2005

I guess I only have myself to blame for not doing enough research before getting this but the reason why I went for this and not the more popular remastered "Hits" is because I really wanted "Keep the Fire Burning" which for some reason is not there. I could live with the track selections that do leave out quite a lot of better tracks that are found on the "Hits" package but the poor sound quality is what really gets me. Definitely a misnomer as this is certainly not the best of REO either in track selections or in sound quality.

3.0 out of 5 stars A better than your "average" compilation, November 27, 2000

By

This review is from: Take It on the Run: The Best of Reo Speedwagon (Audio CD)

This compilation really did go through ALL of REO Speedwagon's records. It is not just the 1980's through 1995 years here. For someone who is just being introduced to REO you will hear the transformation from a "Country" sounding band in the early 70's, to what we all know and love, the arena rock band. Pick this one up if you're looking for all the favorites, with a touch of their old stuff.

Like all of the affiliates I've done business with through Amazon, these folks did exactly what they are in business to do - be honest and prompt about how they serve customers. This was a used CD and the condition was as they said. They shipped the product quickly. Great stuff
