About
REO Speedwagon (originally stylized as R.E.O. Speedwagon), or simply REO, was an American rock band formed in Champaign, Illinois, in 1967. The band cultivated a following during the 1970s and achieved significant commercial success throughout the 1980s. Their best-selling album, Hi Infidelity (1980), contained four US Top 40 hits and sold more than 10 million copies.

REO Speedwagon sold more than 40 million records and charted thirteen Top 40 hits, including the number ones "Keep On Loving You" and "Can't Fight This Feeling". After sixteen studio albums, and numerous lineup changes (with Neal Doughty the only constant member), REO Speedwagon retired in December 2024. The band has since made occasional one-off live appearances.
