REO at home again on charts
What a week for music fans. First Rush's new CD debuts high on the charts. And now REO Speedwagon's first single from their new album lands at No. 30 as well.
I'm telling you: The '80s are back. Might as well go out there and burn your John Mayer and Fergie CDs, because it's only a matter of time before we're all feathering our hair again and wearing concert jerseys and navy blue corduroys. (Alas, the days of $14 concert tickets are probably gone for good.)
"I Needed To Fall" is the name of the REO tune off the CD "Find Your Own Way Home." It'll definitely remind you of their hits from the early 80s.

outstanding CD...It's one of REO's very best. REO fans will love it, and those who aren't will be after a listen to this.

THIS ALBUM TOTALLY SUCKS!! Hands down, it's one of the WORST albums this band has ever put out. Nothing but sappy ballads! You can't even heard a guitar being played! This is NOT a rock album. Kevin Cronin sings like a member of Air Supply on helium, and his voice is totally shot. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS PIECE OF CRAP!!!!
