Comment by Guitarman 1 day ago: Just these 4 alone wrap up decades of music. My order here is:
1. REO Speedwagon - have gone to see them more than the others
2. Journey
3. Styx
4. Foreigner

Comment by RJhog on August 6, 2009 at 2:33pm: Will do....thanks Wombat

Comment by Wombat on August 6, 2009 at 1:49pm: If you want to catch up with the back catalogue then get Live: You Get What You Play For. That was my introduction to REO.

Comment by Scott on August 6, 2009 at 12:59pm: Tune a Piano... and the self titled REO (with the cow skin cover) are my personal favorites. Keep Pushin is a staple in my playlists. REO Two is for hardcore fans, the music is first rate but the mastering and audio could use an update...

Comment by RJhog on August 6, 2009 at 12:24pm: Sadly, I have to improve my REO Collection. I only have:

Ridin' The Storm Out
Nine Lives
You Can Tune A Piano, But You Can't Tuna Fish (Great Title)
Hi Infidelity
Good Trouble
Wheels Are Turnin'
Find Your Own Way Home

I know I'm missing a couple that I should have.....

Comment by Scott on August 6, 2009 at 11:13am: Love Golden Country!!! Music Man and Like You Do also from the same LP (titled TWO)

Comment by Wombat on August 6, 2009 at 11:02am: With you RJhog - just listened to Back On The Road Again and 157 Riverside Avenue and loved it all. A band for all moods. Sadly miss Gary Richrath though. Any fans out there that like Golden Country and that guitar?

Comment by RJhog on August 6, 2009 at 10:59am: Look at all the great music that just these 4 bands have been resposible for. It's amazing! I agree that REO seems to be last out of these 4, but I wouldn't call that shameful. My favorite REO period was Hi Infidelity and Good Trouble. Absolutely great music there.

Comment by Wombat on August 6, 2009 at 9:44am: Just a bit of fun...REO remain 4th and Journey (so far) always out rank Foreigner. Changes by the day and the mood!

As I said - all still much better than 99% of the stuff out there.

Comment by Scott on August 6, 2009 at 9:38am: Didnt realize we were keeping track and I want to be counted... Heres my order...

1a Journey
1b Styx
1c Foreigner
1d REO
