    Any fans of REO? I started to follow them in 1985 when "Can't Fight This Feeling" was the #1 song in the world. Initially I thought they were your average soft pop band. It wasn't until I started listening to their 70s music that I realized this used to be a serious hard rocking group! Some of their softer stuff I do like, but it's their heavier stuff I really get into. I have seen them about 15 times and have gone back stage a handful of times. Even today they still put on a great show, and the guys are awesome. But with the death of Gary Richrath, the touring retirement of Neal Doughty, and the seemingly reduced role of Bruce Hall, this band really is not what it used to be. Still, I will be a fan for life.

    I really liked REO….saw them twice live in Missoula,Mt. They were popular with the University of Montana students.
